Is there anything as charming as a young kid gripping a mother's hand?
Went for a long walk (well it was only 45 minutes) with my friend Heather and the 3 kids I've adopted as Aunty for a practice session with multiple kids for a job (9 kids spread over 3 families) I've got in a few weeks. I need practice every day for the next 3 weeks. Heather, are you listening???

Played with fill flash, played with manual mode, AV, at one time I got desperate enough for the green box. Will be posting some in the next few days for Heather's review.

Canon EOS 20D
1/500s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso800 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very nice b&w shot. Cropping and tones are really perfect!
I see that you used flash. Why? Experiments:)) I would like to see some of your experiments and your differences between flash and no flash.
Well done.

This is a great photo depicting the strong and the innocent sides of life!
Nice in b&w as it gives it a stronger statement I think.

Nicely done, the way the adult's thumb and middle finger frame the child's hand.
