Baptism: Awe some, just awesome
I have this series I decided to do from last Sunday's baptism I shot. They only want one standard photo, but I worked up others. No one to share them with, so I am sharing with you! Comments, good, bad, apathetic, whatever............. or just stopping, glad you did. ginger
Below: a girl has to get dressed!
The Hangers ons, or whatever they are called.
What they had been doing: playing with the votive candles:
(I sit right by the candles, in front of the lectern, first row)
Things are "heating up". Here comes The Man:
arrangements are made:
The Picture is taken of the parents and the baby, then I am out of there......
That is all they want, total, and taken right there, exactly. I consider it good if I get the candle in. Father Mac lit it, but something must have happened.
I know the baby is soft here...............I plan on putting it on the Whipping thing.
Thanks for looking, smile,
ginger

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

It might be nice if the center altar boy was in a slightly different place. But the shot stands above that... even the baby is smiling.
Just great!
I really enjoy the first one. The expression on the baby's face is too cute.
Awesome pictures,

I am debating about using the first one for the challenge. It is photojournalism, though, which is not simple or "clean". As is pointed out, I do have the back of one head. I took as many shots as I could just trying to get the baby's head in the shot, not blocked by anyone else. I got about 10 or so shots off, before it all fell apart, I mean the people scattered. And I have about 2 shots of the baby's head, it was a gamble that paid off.
I did it in black and white so the emotions would show rather than a large mix of colors.
I don't know. I probably will put it on the challenge. It is that or my dog. I have lots of good shots of my dog, but I have never gotten such good shots at a baptism, not ever. Everyone was happy, tolerant of me, and the altar boys were there...............it was just a good opportunity for photos and somehow a few of them worked.
Thank you,
ginger (I am really only there to take the one standard photo. They will use no others as it might show favoritism. There is not that much room for me to move around without getting in the way of the people there, so I really do not usually get such a good opportunity.)
thanks for sharing, ginger-
