weekly winners & shutter speed & chubby legs

f/3.1

in an effort to get to know my camera, i've been taking on different photography assignments each week.
the task this week was shutter speed, as per bloggography.  i was trying to "show movement" and these here are my weekly winners.

i think i'm really liking taking the time to take a whole series of shots just to see the differences a tweak here or there can make -- this is totally different than trying to capture moments or memories as they happen.

at the same time, i love the memories embedded in these shots -- i don't ever want to forget his soft, pudgy, so-kissable legs, his ever-speedier crawl, or the fact that every day he seems to be more confident ... pulling himself up in places i'd never expected...

Great shots of those chubby legs. They make me want to eat them up. My son had those kind of legs when he was little.
