Knapp Imaging

Today I took the day off because I was a bit under the weather, but my girls ended up convincing me that we should head out to Cox Farms for the afternoon, which we did.  Since I haven’t been posting much on this blog, I decided I would take the camera with me and capture the day.

I am typically a reactive shooter when it comes to informal events, such as this was.  I don’t plan what I am going to photograph like I do with a wedding, for instance.  However, in this case there was a shot that I decided ahead of time that I really wanted to get.

Cox Farms has a series of slides, one in particular that both my girls love.  It is a 6-lane side slide that you can ride a burlap bag down, and it is very fast due to the wax they spray on it.

My thought was to pick a lane next to one of my girls and launch a second ahead of them, turn around, and fire away while they were coming down after me.  Given that the side is pretty quick, I only got a couple of shots off before I had to turn around in order to keep from falling over.

Here’s what I ended up with - two very interesting shots from a very unique perspective.

Camera settings:  ISO100, Aperture Priority mode @ f4.5, Continuous Focus mode
