Special Selection "Engraved in My Heart"
The photos I like are ones that take a step back.
However, the photos I can take right now are close-up shots.
I didn't really like that until I joined the photo club.
I wanted to take better photos.
Of course, I still aim to take cool photos,
While working in the photo club,
This is the distance between me and my daughters now.
I was able to acknowledge my own gaze and realize that this is the moment I should take the photo.
I love how cute and dangerous the children are,
I guess I just can't leave.
I began to think that that's also a good thing!
And the current sense of distance and gaze
I wanted to tell my daughters.
Not just in words, but in pictures.
It was my first time taking a selfie using a tripod.
I wanted to take the picture with an old lens, so I set the f-number a little higher so that it would be easier to focus.
A composition with flare, an angle that doesn't overexpose the image, what is it that I want to convey? How I look at my children.
I worked hard, cramming all the knowledge I had learned in the photo club.
I had fun taking photos with the kids who came up to me and started to play around.
it was fun!
Once again, I was reminded of the gazes of my children, who cannot stay still and who jump at me unconditionally with smiles on their faces.
It's my irreplaceable treasure.
And I would be happy if my feelings could be conveyed to the children, even just a little.
