Week 5 - Speed
Apologies for the tardiness of posting my week 5 picture - been in Lapland for the past week!
Because I'm slightly obsessed with TP and Facebook, was chuffed to realise that we had intermittant Wifi access in our chalet, so managed to find out what the week's theme was quite early on in the week. My biggest lesson this week was not to be quite so cocky! As soon as I realised the theme was 'Speed' I immediately thought, "Oh, this will be EASY! I've got skiing, sledging, sleigh rides.......piece of cake!". And how wrong I was! Firstly, Lapland is stunningly gorgoeus, it's too damn cold to have uncovered fingers out for long, and skiing gloves aren't the most practical when taking pictures (can't feel the shutter button for a start
), so waiting for my Hubbie to come down the slopes at speed and catching the moment were a no go for me! And it was my daughter's first outing on skis, so speed wasn't the factor for her! Secondly, the light was really flat most of the time, and daylight hours are very few, so most of my pictures were taken in snow storms, dusk, or darkness, which isn't the easiest for me! I guess I'm trying to apologise for a pretty poor entry this week - I love the shot because in my head I can hear the sound effect that went with the motion of Lucy flying down the hill, but I know that technically it's not the best!
However......here it is.....
