Double Happiness

Here is a few quick of pics as usual. I was trying my longer lens (55-200), which means I could take pics being further away from them. That made for more candid shots because they were not always aware of me; but it was tougher too though, because shaking was emphasized, obviously, and many pics ended blur. This is not even considered a big zoom, it just goes to show what a lousy photographer I am . Well, it means there’s room to improve

I used to be obsessed about taking as many pics as I could of the babies’ faces, just so we immortalize their cute cuddly little baby expressions. Now I realize it’s equally important to capture what they are DOING and how they are fascinated by the little things. In some of the shots below you can see the babies playing at an exercise ground for old people. There is a stepper with platforms, and the platforms have tiny holes (for water drain presumably). The babies were contented shoving tiny branches into the holes, realizing the branches actually drop below the platforms, picking them up again, and doing the process all over again . This is actually a GREAT change because it means that, instead of me running after them all over the playground, I could for once sit there and observe what they were doing, now THAT is a lot more relaxing
