I took a few then let Harvey loose with the camera. I took the grip off the 7D first, then let him loose with the 24-70 and onboard flash. After a while I realised my good old nifty fifty was still in the bag, so I put that on to make the camera even lighter for him (He is only 8!).<br \/>\nI gave him some tips on how to just get in there and take someone&#8217;s photo without waiting for them to pose. To watch from the sidelines and then just sidle up, raise the camera, click, walk away with a smile.<br \/>\nAlot of the stuff he took had motion blur (It was quite dark), harsh flash etc&#8230;.but that doesn&#8217;t matter today.<\/p>\n<p>This is my favourite of the day if I&#8217;m honest, and Harvey took it. He captured that giggle brilliantly. That moment. We don&#8217;t know why she&#8217;s laughing, and to be honest, we don&#8217;t need to. The scene is set right there. I didn&#8217;t crop it in the end. I did try various crops but I didn&#8217;t like them. I think everything in the shot adds to it, right up to the balloom at the top right. It conveys the scene. We&#8217;re at a party, it&#8217;s a sit down, family type affair and she&#8217;s having a great time. That&#8217;s what photography should do, tell a story in a single frame, and as I said at the start&#8230;.it&#8217;s the way I tell &#8217;em. (Or in this case, my 8 year old son tells &#8217;em!).<\/p>\n<p>As usual, hover over the image for the original..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/130623_8131-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"130623_8131\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-807\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,18,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-indoor","category-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.marcelbooth.co.uk\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
