Practice run

Joey wants to ride to school (it's only about 500 metres), but she isn't very good at riding yet so this afternoon we had a practice session. This is the front of her school, they aren't allowed to ride up this part so I made her practice pushing her bike up to the bike shed. I'm such a mean Mummy. Bike helmets are compulsory (by law) in Australia and also school uniforms in almost all schools.





iso 200, f 10, ss 1/500, lens 70-200 f4L


Thank you for the comments on yesterday's post. Chris is fine - he actually thinks it was pretty funny (little ratbag). There are more dents in the front near the door, but I liked this angle better. I used my 17-85 lens set at 17mm to get the distortion, not sure if it completely worked, but I'm happy enough with it.

I like the composition of this and the colors on the building are great. They look like they deserve their very own picture ;)

Cool colors! Is this their school? So interesting compared to our industrial brick buildings...

Love the view of her pushing the bike up the hill. Great shot! It's just so neat to see other parts of the world... especially the regular old things like schools! TFS
