Sprinkler Time!

At least this time they had their bathing suits on before running into the sprinklers instead of being fully dressed.......progress​.

Man this forum has sure died off lately. I really like posting here as it is the majority of the type of photos I take but it is a ghost town. Any ideas as to how we can bump up the participation?

Yeah, I've posted on occasion here and I think it's more a place for people to share kids photo's and not so much family. Seems most of those get posted in the people section so it may be a little redundant. I've been contemplating posting in the people section for more feedback.

That's a good point. I guess I wished this section would be for those who do kids and families specifically as I personally think it is a different animal than working with a willing subject that takes instruction I also think sometimes the critique in other sections could be too harsh for those who understandably have an emotional attachment to the images. I always like seeing and discussing setups and techniques the creative folks of this site are trying with infants and kids without having to click through 15 posts so I hope there is someway to get the traffic up. Maybe the moderators can try a new name? Oh well.

Very nice work. These images are priceless. If you were wanting cc, they are very nice. Eyes are tack sharp, background blur is super, color looks spot on. All the expressions are great, if I had to chose my fav, then I would have to go with #7, something about the look on her face that says she is focused on charge, full steam, back into the water.

Sorry for the lack of traffic, please don't stop posting.

#7 does it for me. Great capture

Thanks for the comments. Just out of curiosity does anyone here that posts not want CC? I guess I always assumed that is why people posted here to get their images in front of other photographers be it pros or amateurs. If not I apologize and will note that in my future posts. I guess I should also apologize if I have offered my critique to those who did not want it as well

I think it's fair game but should be addressed to the level of the expertise of the photographer. This forum seems to cater mostly to enthusiasts and some pro's but you do have a couple people who are very beginners and you can tell they are just only grasping basic photo 101 skills.

Great set. I really like the first one. The expression you captured and the hair flying is priceless.

Great set, I think if you want C+C you probably should post it in your title. I think most people are trying to be polite and not offend people taking pictures or candids of thier families.

I thought that Critique Corner was where you wanted to get comments from people more specifically. I post on these sub-forums to let people see what I have created. If they offer opinions great, but hopefully no one gets upset about CC anyway. I would think all of us strive to be better and that is how we learn.
I really like the water in #5 and the expression in #7 BTW. Great family photos in my book. Keep it up.

These are super cute.
