Matthew is 6!

Time flies and my eldest kid is now 6 years old. As it's the weekend and it's the school holidays this upcoming week, we decided to have a small celebration at home. He will be celebrating with his kindergarten friends when school starts.

Canon EOS 60D + Canon EF 24-70 F2.8L USM | 1/8 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400

This shot was done with a tripod on 2 second timer. The shutter was triggered with a remote so I didn't have to run and quickly get in position. Flash was bounced up and slight to the back to prevent shadows below the eyes. IIRC this was -2EV as I didn't want the flash to overpower everything else.

I'm just OK with how it turned out. I still find flash photography quite challenging but at least the background is not distracting :p

The Canon EF 24-70 F2.8L is a lens I borrowed from a friend to try out. More on this lens in another post.
