Weekend play

Last weekend, we went to a couple of parks and the boys and one of their cousins had a good, fun old fashioned play...There was swinging... and then there was flying....

Sometimes it is so hard to keep kids under control!

I try to let them know that it is impolite to fly in public, but sometimes they just do not listen!

Photogeeking:  first photos all taken with off camera flash on high speed sync, at about 1000 of a second so that I could get the background a little dark.  Then I played with some Nik software with them.  I am still trying to work out if I can afford to buy the Nik software - it does some nice things - but am I just being lazy when I could eventually get most of the results in photoshop?

The flying ones involved walking around with a step ladder and a tripod... taking a photo of the background and then of the flying... going into photoshop, putting the background and the people in the same document and then masking out anything that was not meant to be there.
