I found it was a really useful way of trying to convey movement in the first steps of my son... http://wwwstaff.murdoch.edu.au/~sking/pages/walking.htm
Sometimes I miss the fact that he needed to be held like that - at least you know where he was. Now he's off like a shot...

Come with us now back to those thrilling days of yesteryear - specifically my high school Jr. Prom. I used the technique Tom describes above with a K1000, K55/2.0 and cheap Vivitar flash and got this: http://www.robertstech.com/temp/7b900101.jpg (I've posted a link to this picture before and people commented on the awfulness of the clothing. Take it from me, not only was this the 1970s but these were high school students choosing the outfits! You should be very glad the photo is on Ilford HP-5 so you can't see the colors!) >> -----Original Message----- >> From: William Kane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> I'd be interested in knowing the technique with which >> you took those >> two photos.
