Great shot dude, I love the emotion it captures. Perfect framing.

i have been spontaneously excited by your joining of simple emotions and vintage photography guise.


magnifico....

Thank you . It's amazing that i got that shot, i find it difficult to get a perfect position and whatnot to set up for shotting kids her age, they are quite spontaneous!

I think what's best about this is the reaction it gives - after several re-visits to this deviation, I still cannot look at it without smiling - excellent work!

I concur with the other posts - your timing in capturing this moment was superb. The shallow depth of field really helps focus all attention on this laughing/yelling little girl (which is rather ironic, since she's trying to do exactly the same thing). You get down to her level with your low angle and place her nicely off-center. I think the high grain adds an aging charm to this photo - if the little girl was ever to look back at this picture in 10-20 years, she would really place this in a past period of time.

I also happen to like this portrait because it was shot with an AE-1, which is the same camera I use for my B/W photos.

Great, heartwarming photo.

Thanks so shutterarcade. I feel proud of this picture for a number of reasons. I was new to my dads AE-1, and was expirimenting with the depth of field, and I think with this picture i established my liking for shallow depth of fields. Also, if i were to think back at the time of the picture, i could never remember the exact point at which she was yelling like that. I was amazed that i captured that specific moment. It made it even more exciting to watch my photo develop, because i had a spontaneously excited and yelling baby in front of me. Anyway, you brought up a great point. I should save this picture so she can look back on it when she's older, she'd get a kick out of it .
Thanks again

very good picture considering the fact that its a MF camera .. got a AE1 myself ( ~fxretro ) and wouldnt trade it for anything...

This is so beautiful! in a very spontaneous way, of course. Lol, this is a perfect shot of a child, you captured the very right moment, which is very hard to do (trust me, I've tried and tried lol) So I applaude you ( ) for the great capture, and using B& W, which is my favorite for sure

Thank you so much guys. I value your comments and respect your appreciation of this photo. I felt pationate of this photo ever since I first saw it develop. The moment was just so perfect. Its amazing. As someone suggested to me earlier, it would be a great photo to show to this girl a few years down the road.
Thanks again.
