The Bethadilly 52 Week 14 – Free Choice

week 14 of the bethadilly 52 offers the freedom of free choice, which is really refreshing from time to time.  instead of following a prompt, we can simply get creative with our cameras and use the skills we have learned so far to create a compelling image of our choice.  this week, our baby girl has been very active.  she is learning how to pull herself up onto things and, with a lot of gasping on mama’s end, she is getting higher off of the ground.

of course, i wanted to document this moment but i also wanted to be within arms reach of her, as i am still nervous about her being unsteady.  knowing i still wanted to be really close to her, but also document the surroundings, it was an obvious choice to use my wide angle lens.  i am still in arms reach of her, not having to back up very far in order to compose the photo the way i wanted to.  i find that this is one of the main reasons why i repeatedly chose my wide angle lens, as i like that it allows me to stay in very close proximity to her while photographing.  with the directional light coming from the window opposite her crib and the leading lines of the crib, i was really happy with the way this photo turned out.  plus, those dimples on her knuckles just make the photo even better.
