Thanks for all of your comments/feedback folks!
Brilliant!!! Isn't this what photography is all about???
Thanks Adam. We do love to get a bit silly at Christmas and I'm lucky that I have the kit to be able to do it... I spend way too much money on these things every year and it's not always executed correctly either, but we sure do have fun. Chris was having an exceptional amount of fun as I had to get him liquored up to get him in the green onsie.
These made me laugh! I love them. Wish we'd done something similar. Maybe next year, although I don't really have the space for something like this - I use half roll backgrounds.
Thanks Lee. I don't have a lot of space, however I can fit a full width roll of paper in my lounge when I move it all out... (thus my home lounge studio where I shoot my portraits). You'd be surprised at what you could do with a half roll... and sometimes you may not even need that, even use your natural surroundings? Or if you're brave enough, venture outdoors!
Great work
@sunnyside_up Bethy.
The dogs expression is just priceless!
Haha thanks... She hated every minute of it.
Great set of fun shots Bethy, liking them all very much with the dog pic' clearly being my fav'.
George.
Thanks George. Everyone loves the one of Tizzy... and she's having the least amount of fun! lol!
What a crazyyyyyyy bunch but thats a great set of photos there, always like your style
Thanks Graham. Much appreciated.
Brilliant! What a great (and fun!) set! Bet you had loads of fun putting the time together.
Thanks Graeme. We did... even my son, who's 11, played ball this year without fuss or fight. I think he's more and more developing his father's sense of humour lol. It helped that my husband had had a few beers before hand to 'lubricate his joints'.
Thought you said they were tacky
Thanks Dominic. Did I say tacky? I meant... garish.
Ha love it! Did you make the dogs outfit?
Failed miserably this year and I so wanted to do one, just left it too late.
Thanks Kris. No, sadly... although another year I probably will as the amount I spent on it just for one picture was kinda dumb. lol.
We start planning ours in the summer... well, *I* start planning it... Chris just does what he's told.
Awesome but I have now ruined the FB advent calendar.... dam nam it
Haha... yea, I did think about that
Wow Beth ! These are sooooooo over the top and soooooo fab. It hurts that there that good. Way way above my skill level but so inspiring
Maybe more people will share there efforts this Christmas.
Thanks for the link.
Gaz
Thanks Gary. I don't know about over your skill level... I had no idea what I was doing lol. I think yours is wonderful and I think for next year I might tone it down a bit... a little less whacky... Although I have been thinking about dressing Chris up as a turkey and Ben and I carving into him...
And I think that's a great idea for next year... start a christmas themed thread for all things like this...
Haha, cheers Les.Yes, I'd have to agree... the first is the scariest.
