Played with the custom setting on my camera a little bit today instead of using auto mode like I normally do. I like the way they turned out, any tips to make them better? I can make my shutter speed like 8" - 1/2000 but the aperture is very limited.

- it would be nicer if we could see his face
- blown out highlights and harsh light... get him in the shade maybe and practice composition
- I'm sure he was having some fun time

Appreciate the comments. Shade would have been nice, heat index was 108* today.

Here's a shot or 2 of his face if anyone is curious what he looks like.

he is a great subject for you to practice composition, google a bit for some concrete advises on composing subjects...
