Fancy dress @ local fair

[mmcp42]

took this today at the local carnival

no problems taking the pictures, no-one seemed the least bit bothered

3-7 year-old fancy-dress (the beefeater won, but burst into tears and ran for his mummy!!!)

I had completely the opposite problem last Saturday - trying to get candid shots of kids at a party and they were bunch of lens-seeking poseurs!

Never work with children or animals.......

Good shot - love the variety of expressions on their faces - such as the clearly reluctant Frenchman, and the sleepy pirate

Love the french man. Looks like he's got a string of hamsters round his neck.

cheers!
several of the kids had the "my parents dressed me up in this stupid kit and I'm bored out of my brain" look
Frenchie would have got 1st prize for that!
