A flash in the dark. I try to use available light most times and avoid flash. Uncle Matty in from Zagreb with an armful of two nephews and a niece. Jack, Anna and Michael. Maura Clare looking on from the front porch steps at La and James’ home.
I chose this one for the weekly photo challenge because I thought the faces expressed the most emotion, even if the light of the flash wasn’t the best light on them.
On the left – such joy. On the right – Maura weighing her options?
Happy children, happy uncle = happy picture
Ruth – I think you are correct that the light of the flash wasn’t the best light on them. However I also think it’s an excellent photo. As you wrote, their faces express a lot of emotion. And Maura Clare’s expression is priceless. Also, I like the way the flash lit up part of the front porch and swing, and I like the twilight in the sky. Overall, my two cents worth is that this is an excellent photo.
I wish he was my uncle. My uncle lives in Australia. 🙁
they are all so silly
They love their Uncle Matt.
Faces of love are always beautiful.
Fabulous faces!!!
Such a happy photo! And priceless!
Smiling with happiness and joy. 🙂
Sometimes you just have to use flash. You’d have lost a great shot if not. Look at that smile!
Such unbridled joy!
I also avoid flash photography like the plague, but this worked well, I think. Most joy-filled, these faces…
I think the flash worked in this one. great faces
Family pictures are always the best!
Matt must like Croatia, but he also mut love to visit PA /OH!!!! Uncles can be very special … I felt the same enthusiasm seen here, whenever I saw my Uncle, for his entire 104 years!!!
gotta love family – flash or no flash
thanks for sharing this joyful yet touching moment
Such pure joy captured! Great photo!
