Well yeah, he's a leftie alright.

Potential for Singapore? Nah, let's see if he can get into his school team or not first...

Thanks for your comment and yes, he's a nice and funny boy; he told me that if Thailand had won the Tiger Cup from Singapore, it would have to change the name to Sawardi Cup!

No offence but I tink you compose your beloved son right at the centre for all pictures. It will be nicer to give some space either left or right depends on where he is facing to.

No offence taken bro.

I was using shooting at 5fps with my AI servo on, and the AF set to the centre la. I was doing the shots in bursts, so I had no time for re-composition and think about where to plcae the subject. Furthermore, since he's the only subject in the picture, and I thought, why not?

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Devoted father.. personally would see to use a zoom with a shadow DOF to make the subject outstanding.

Thanks dude! I was using the 70-200mm f4L....it was already wide open, but I think a f2.8 L will do the job better!

This adds impetus for me to buy the latter. Now the next hurdle...my wife!

Try observing DOF calculations more.. stay closer with the subject with a F4 in mind, that may be better.

Haha.. i experienced the same thing too.. it is never for dads to take major photography decision.

Thanks for your good advice, I'll take note of that in the future.
