When the sun goes down...

...the heroes goes to work. Cuz you know, the thieves and robbers like to operate in with the veil of darkness as their ally.

The day after Halloween, the kids wanted to wear their outfit. Actually, it was Terrence that wanted to wear his costume...but he also wanted the Spiderman outfit for Jason to wear as well. Pretty demanding these 3yr olds. We figure these costumes will only fit once and it allows me to get some better photos of them. They get so much attention going out with them on in public so it's certainly a treat for everyone. Fun and cute.

The setting sun always makes for gorgeous photos. With the sun lower in sky, the rays of the sun has to go through more of the atmosphere, scattering and diffusing the light, resulting in flattering photos. It's my second favorite time of the day. But the lower the sunlight, the quicker the light changes, eventually losing it completely.

So I was only able to get a few shots off before Terrence was joined by other neighborhood kids and the whole lot of them ran around uncontrollably. :)

Sunlight streaming through the trees. Side lite foliage is a fav of mine to shoot againsts. The colors are awesome.

Getting set up and had Terrence run down the aisle. He took off and was not seen by my camera lens until much later.

Oh well. At least I have one more subject I can shoot.

But that didn't last long. Having lost all my subjects and the sun quickly disappearing, I aimed my camera towards the trees instead, trying to capture the warmth of the sun's rays through it.

Once we were able to round up the kids, we did get some cute moments out of them.

Buzz likes to hug with wings and all.

I love this one.

I love this one. Wait, I already said that. :)

Here's a photo I had on facebook. But much clearer since Facebook heavily compresses photos, making it look so soft.

Such a perfect pose for a little spiderman.

Here's a clearer shot of Terrence that I shared on Facebook.

Here's an alternate, higher contrast version.

It's been an unusually warm Novemember thus far. So we were able to enjoy the soft glow of the reminding sunlight while getting these last few photos. We didn't stay much longer cuz my remote trigger battery is no more.

I'll leave you with one more shot of Buzz Lightyear. Three years old and growing fast.
