Nolan in a Box

Playing at the Playground

Earlier today I was in the mood to shoot some portraits of my son, so we went to the park overlooking the city just before sunset. He had a blast running around trying to hide from me behind the bush, under the picnic table and in a hole. With my camera set with custom Function 4:3 and AI Servo, I was able to get great action shots. To view the entire album, Click Here.
