Been into Leeds today to keep the kids entertained, what a nightmare that is on your own with a hyper 6 & 3 year old

but managed to snap a couple of shots in-between running around after them

and one i quickly snapped of my grandad yesterday

Grandad Harold by npinks, on Flickr

I liked the shot of Harold - it captured a lot of character.

But the photographer spoiled the overal shot by allowing reflection on Grandad's frames. Must try harder Mr Pinks.

I took it without checking setting or anything when I went to get my camera to show him it, ideally could have done without the sofa over his shoulder too but then I suppose I would have lost the startled look if he posed

PS will get rid of the sofa quite easily, the reflection is a little more difficult but can be done

Your certainly getting into this

I could clone out the sofa but didn't bother as I was using a guide on TP about creating a LOMO contrast picture and just used it as my test photo, but I quite liked the end result in BW do kept it

Hey Taz, make the blighter work harder for his results - don't give away your tips n trick otherwise he'll be picking the pixels out of your photography in a few months from now

Well done Nick

I like the expression on grandads face as if to say 'How much'.  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

A weekend at the coast, trips to Scarborough and Filey ended in a few photos Been taken, but what looked good ain't up to scratch, things like I see a seal and only have my 18-55mm lens and I wasn't walking back from the end of Filey brig to get it

Bit late now but I'll have to see what PS can do to them later in the week

Got good ones of the kids eating ice cream etc , but wanted others capturing seaside life back to Scarborough next week so might get chance to try again
