Pictures of your offspring

Last week my son who lives up in Alaska came south for a visit. It was the first time we got to see our newest grandchild (#15). Augustus was a big baby at birth and at 5 months weighs just over 20 lbs putting him in the 97% range at his last pediatric check up. Good kid, he hardly ever fusses and other then waking up for a feeding or 2 from his mom sleeps through the night.

I shot this on our coffee table in our family room which I converted into a mock studio.

Gosh, he doesn't look Alaskan.

The sun finally came out after what seems like a whole lot of rainy weather. So I took my new Canon 7D MkII to my grandson's track meet and got some decent shots of him doing the Triple Jump. The camera can shoot at up to 10 fps so it's a great camera for action. I mostly used my 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

Nice new toy! The pictures came out really well.

Yes, excellent. Did you take four frames sequentially or chose these from X number of shots?

It really is an amazing camera that can shoot at 10 fps so there may have been a few I didn't use where his hand swung in front of his face.
