This wasn’t as easy of a challenge as I expected.  The goal was to get a great shot from doing just as the title says, shooting from the hip, no peeking through the view finder.  On many occasions, I aim from above or shoot from below.  I have had some great shots in the past, but for this challenge, I just wasn’t getting what I was looking for, until today.  Yesterday I had the boys running around with just sweat shirts on, today we woke up to 4 inches of snow.  So our favorite neighbors came over to go sledding in our yard.

Here are a couple cute shots I got of Brayden and his best buddy as they were getting ready to go down the hill.  The ground was very slick, so to make sure I didn’t fall, I had to have one hand on the ground and the other with the camera stretched across my body, in front of the boys.  I am very happy with the outcome.
