This is a picture of Child No.1 taking a moment to mess around during a walk in some woods. It was shot a short while ago on one of our regular jaunts to Scotland.
I didn’t think it was all that good until I flipped the image to black and white. I think it works much better with less colour and I also like the expression on Helen’s face. She was clearly having fun (although I seem to remember the stone she was stood on was wet and slippery and I was trying to coax her down in case she fell!).
As for the photograph’s technical details, they were as follows; aperture was set at f5, exposure time 1/80 of a second, ISO 400 and focal length 45mm. As I say, it was taken in colour but I changed it to black and white.

I love how black and white can absolutely transform the look of a photo. Hope you had fun on your walk – slippy stones or not!
It was a lovely walk in a glen that is, bizarrely, in the middle of an urban area.
Lovely expression on her face and I like the fact her Tshirt says ‘be brave’ when that’s exactly what she’s doing! 🙂
I hadn’t thought of that Sarah! Good spot.
Your right it does look really nice in black and white. I love how that effect looks so good sometimes. Hope you had a good time in Scotland!
Yes, we had a great time although the weather was a bit hit and miss.
That is a lovely shot in black and white and I love the expression on your daughter’s face – she looks so happy balancing on that stone even if it is a little on the slippy side.
Oh yes, she was in her element!
I’m often amazed by how b&w can change a photo in an instant. Beautiful capture. She looks so happy. #mysundayphoto
Black and white can change a photograph massively can’t it? Thanks for commenting.
Love the photo and the beautiful woods, messing around in the woods are times I remember so fondly from my own childhood.
Bizarrely I didn’t live near any woods when growing up, despite being a country boy. Well, nothing sizeable anyway!
Great photo! Such a lovely moment to capture x
I thought it was a great moment to capture….as I was trying to coax her down!
The black and white definitely adds an edge to this image. Your girls face is full of childhood happiness 🙂 #mysundayphoto
She does look very happy doesn’t she? I was delighted when I stumbled across the image on my memory card.
Beautiful photo, the B&W really adds something to this photo
Thank you for linking up
Thanks Darren, I think it was the right decision to go B&W this time around.
Changing a photo from colour to black & white really can change the mood, I love that! Great photo, she looks so happy and what a beautiful setting.
Thanks Lauren, yes it is an oasis of beauty, but you should see what surrounds it!
I think its fun to stand there cuz its slippery haha! Love her expression here too! #mysundayphoto
Black and white really can transform an image, can’t it. Love the expression on her face, such a wonderfully candid shot x
