Family portrait

You know those old black and white photographs where the whole family would stand all nicely lined up in front of a cameraman? Probably a rare moment to take a photo and one or two chances to get it right.

That's what this image 👇 reminds me of :)
Stand still, keep your legs straight, look at the camera and smile.

I wasnt planning to shoot any animals that day. I took the old Helios lens which has only manual focus and wanted to catch more still objects with nice bokeh in the background.

I'm tellin' ya... moving animals and manual focus is not a good match.
At all.

But they were there. Looking so freaking adorable! Fluffy clouds on skinny ballerina legs :D

I saw them on the other side of their place and as soon as I got closer to the fence they came running. I wonder of people usually feed them with some goodies there, though they do have enough grass and other weeds to munch on.

Posed for a bit....

Saw that the grass I tried to bribe them with is the same they have on their side... so fuck it... "Who are you trying to fool Missy?"

And off they went not even looking at me anymore...

cool photos! And it is difficult to find sheep in our pasture.

I noticed they started to be more popular in Poland again. Which is cool :)

it's actually cool!
Mutton has also started to appear at our farmers' markets!

Hahaha, how cool family. They are adorable!!! 😍

They were! There was a small black one, but was too fast and I couldn't focus on it. So cute :)

The small black sheet of the family... too fast and not wanting to pose :)

So yes, a black sheep in every meaning :D

🤣 That last picture. COLD shoulder.

I like your family.

Hahaha my fam rocks! :D

The ignoring part really hurt y feelings you know...

I can only imagine! I would be devastated.

It looks like they know you're coming and start posing cutely there, but they're so cute, staring at the camera, that they probably think they'll look dashing in the photo. 😁😁 :V

Oh yea... showing off their best angles :D
But like any diva after 10 min they were bored already.

"I'm tellin' ya... moving animals and manual focus is not a good match." ha ha ha ha :)

You have made my day!

Thanks!

I tried my best :D
My pleasure!

I love animal photography, especially farm animals.
Beautiful shots @ewkaw
You should make a farm animals calendar with these gorgeous animals.

Oh me too :) Wish we had more of them around.

Ha! It is indeed :D

I hope ewe got permission to take those.... some of them look a bit Maaaaad at you for getting their Baaaaad side....

I'll get me coat 🏃

Hahahaha OMG 🤣
You couldn't fit any more puns in one sentence, could you? 🤣

they have fine fur and horns,

They were awesome looking beasties!

his face is like a wild animal that is already in a position ready to pounce on its prey

He is just pretending :p

pretending to be evil to protect yourself

Great photos!

It is a pity that they did not have time to go to the hairdresser 🤣

Hahaha nope.. all crazy hair style :D

👍
i.e. modern hairstyle 🤣

They are so handsome! Hilarious trying to feed them the grass they can get themselves. It used to work for me sometimes with horses and I wondered why they bothered haha.

I tried :D You know... grass is always greener...
But they weren't interested.

They have certainly been patient with you dear friend @ewkaw, These animals posed very intently for the pictures
Excellent shots, I really appreciate that you let us know
Have a beautiful night

Thanks! Glad you liked them :)

is it an ordinary bureau

They are cute… and all posed so well for you @ewkaw. 😊
I can imagine it was hard with the manual focus… your photographs came out very well. Love them.
They portray them well, also their characters.

Made me laugh when you said just like the old b&w photographs, it sure looked like that 😁🤣

I remember my grandparents photos when they all just stand straight in front of the camera.. It really looked like it :)

Yes, I do too… so different times back then. 😉
