Colin Woods Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Greetings everyone We have just finished a great subject and, as ever with these challenges, we had a great set of images to choose from. And now for the next challenge. The last weekend we were all mountain biking over at Mont Ste Anne near Quebec and I was marvelling at my son on his bike. He's 7 and he rides at 100% capacity all the time. Its so good to watch him learning his balance and position, just revelling in being in motion. Not just my boy either, all the kids love being outside and in action and its lovely to watch. Uninhibited joy in playing (and also not having cranky knees). So, this month's challenge is CHILDREN IN ACTION. Kids playing, having fun. It could be riding, swimming, running, with or without an adult. As usual, images must come from Alamy and entries close at midnight here on 31st July. Here are a few to get going My boy lining up for the next jump The kids having a blast on the sledges La Cocotte ripping along on her balance bike.

As a single male, being seen with a camera anywhere near kids in this neighbourhood would not have a good outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I do take photos of children, but don’t have much in the way of action.

Matt Ashmore Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I also have young children and they are one of my favourite subjects to photograph so this challenge was difficult for me from the perspective of choosing only 3 images.
