button - feet week

This week at I Heart Faces it isn’t about Faces at all – it is all about FEET. I love a good foot shot and have a few that I could have chosen but I went for the one below because I just love the composition and the colours.

My son, Zed Boy (who is the daredevil out of my three) was climbing on an old wooden train bridge just a couple of weeks ago while we were on holiday at the beach. This photo is of him sitting at least 10 feet in the air on a large wooden beam.

I love his big ‘hoofer’ dangling in front of my lens and I love that you can see his face in the background along with the beautiful blue winter’s sky.

I am also really happy with this as I took it with my old manual lens – Pentax Asahi SMC 50mm 1:1.7. I am endeavouring to take all of my photos with this lens now as I love the feel of this old glass and ‘stopping’ down (or up). I feel more in control for some reason. This photo is basically straight out of the camera bar a little lightening with curves.

Big Foot Zachary!

Don’t forget to go along to the I Heart Faces website and see all the other wonderful FEET entries and leave them some comments – because comments are FUN! To give AND receive!

    Great, great photo. I know I said on my blog that only baby feet are cute, but his feet are actually pretty cute too! :) This has such a cool perspective and I love how the foot is truly the focus of the photo.

    This is possibly another of my favourites :) The composition and colours are awesome. There is something about sandy feet. Handsome subject too ;)

    That is an AMAZING photo. I love everything about it. Especially the depth of field.

    I applaud your skill at keeping that child verruca free… my kids feet are probably best saved for medical sites. If we had feet like this feet wouldn’t freak me out, but I would have looked very uncool in the 1980s :) ))

      Ba ha ha! I had to look up the word Verruca only to find out you are talking about Plantar Warts. Well, funny thing is – this is the only child of mine who has ever had one! Thankfully, that was a while back though – nasty things!

      Oh and when I read Verruca – I thought of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too! Am I crazzzy???

    I LOOOOVE the perspective in this shot! Very nice!

    That is an awesome perspective!!

  20. Susan Keller says on July 20, 2009 at 2:17 pm Reply

    awesome! I love your wide aperture on this – squarely puts the attention on the foot, while telling the story in the “background” with great depth of focus!!

    love this angle/depth! great job!

  22. Sarah says on July 20, 2009 at 2:22 pm Reply

  27. MrsW says on July 20, 2009 at 4:21 pm Reply

    Not crazy – Verruca Salt is named for this plantar wart you speak of – really annoying and virtually impossible to get rid of :)

    Wonderful! Like everyone else I think this is a great shot and I, also, love the composition and the colours and the wicked cool dof. ;-) The bits of sand on his foot makes it all the more interesting. Great job.
