As promised, here are some more photos from last night’s convocation. We arrived at the campus around 6:00pm because the graduands needed to be early for a rehearsal before the ceremony commenced.
Some tender loving words exchanged between mother and son before going into the hall. The weather was humid; can you see the beads of sweat on his forehead? I love the special moment captured here.ย From the west, as dusk swiftly set in by the minute, we could see the dimming horizon that added to the bokeh effect of this photo. ๐
I was astounded by the following photo that was taken without a flash fired. The distance was approximately 30m from the stage. Focal length 85mm, Exposure 1/125s, Aperture F2.8. ISO 320, Exposure Bias 0.00EV, White Balance Auto, Exposure Aperture Priority, Canon EOS 50D.
Assembling for a group photo.
The moment the graduates had been waiting for; tossing up their mortar boards in the air! ๐
Proud Mom with her two proud happy sons!
With friends. The night will be treasured forever in their hearts. ๐
Bro James,
one of the photo was captioned “Mom with her two proud sons!”.
I think it is more apporpriate to have captioned it “Proud mom with her two sons’. Haha.
Anyway, congrats Aaron, and time for the next milestone in your life. I am sure you know what that would be. Don’t keep Dad & Mum waiting…
