Kids @ 17mm, 25mm etc. – Part 16

The two kids have been at home with Ling over this December holiday stretch, and that’s given them plenty of opportunities to interact and know each other. Ling was remarking that Peter especially seems to enjoy Hannah’s company, possibly because Hannah has a way of making him laugh with her antics. Though come to think of it, Peter hasn’t quite learned how to laugh out loud. His version of laughing is, at the moment, a wide open-mouth grin and silent laughter of sorts!

Weekday morning pictures with the two. Ling still finds the E-PL6 a little too complex, but thankfully the full-on auto mode of the camera is able to handle shots like this, with face-focus tracking enabled.

We sure hope that Hannah's love and affinity for her baby brother isn't a passing phase! Both of these two pictures were taken using the 17mm, and shot wide-open at f1.8.

Peter chews his fingers a lot more than Hannah did at this age. Taken using the 45mm, and wide-open at f1.8. I'm still getting a handle of this short telephoto lens, and frequently to stretch myself as far as I can when shooting over a dining table. The lens is wonderfully sharp in its image center.

Post breakfast activities @ Coffee Bean. She's been drawing a lot - so much so that I'm seriously toying with the idea of buying her a Galaxy Note tablet. Taken using the 25mm and at f1.8. Hannah was seated right beside me, so this required quite a bit of arm contortion for me to put both her drawing, her crayon on her right hand, and part of her face into the frame!

Hannah showing off her artwork. She's improved her drawing abilities by leaps. Taken using the 17m and wide-open at f1.8.

Peter on the weekend morning, and laughing thanks to Hannah just to my right. With the 45mm and wide-open at f1.8. again.
