2 candid, natural light portraits

Here are two candid portraits I made recently during week-end in a cottage with friends (a now yearly "tradition" during which I wear my camera almost all the time - everyone's used to it by now).

Both were taken in natural light with my K10D and the FA77. I "made" myself use this lens for a few days because it is not a focal length I reach for "naturally". Conclusion: the more I use it the more I like (love?) it

1. My youngest son

f/1.8, ISO 400, 1/125s

2. A friend's son in full concentration

f/1.8, ISO 400, 1/60s

Great shots of your family.
Isn't it good when they actually sit still for a minute or two?
