I found a filter setting called "correct distortion" but used it instead to distort these grocery store snow crabs... after distorting the perspective I was left with a blank white background so I added a pattern background.  Best viewed LARGE for the perspective change.
Our college girl is home for the weekend so another busy weekend here! hope all is well with you :-)

I am preparing for another family photo shoot tomorrow.  I always spend the night before a shoot studying photos from past sessions to review what I did right, as well as study photos to see what I did wrong or could've done better.  This list is usually way more extensive than the things I did right list! :)  

Here you see the three boys in this family all finding their spots on this amazing tree.  The original photo was so flat that I had to do a lot of color correction, and it seemed a little more interesting when I saturated the colors more than normal.  It feels like a "busy" photo but there is something about it that I find so appealing.  It wasn't until I viewed the images from this shoot on my computer that I realized that big empty space directly in the middle would've been an ideal place to have the parents join in the picture.  I just didn't "see it" at the actual time of the session because I was concentrating on a bazillion other things.  So, I am sharing this photo tonight as a reminder to myself to think about not just what is in the picture but what might be missing from it!

My wife standing on the beach where she spent many a Summer at her Gram's house.  Fond memories for her indeed.

Stained glass window in the back of a mausoleum in St. Patrick's cemetary - DeKalb Pike, Norristwon, PA.  Not a great shot - but through a dirty window and with the plexiglass reflections behind the stained glass, not too bad, I don't think. But then again, I am a sucker for stained glass.
SmugMug > popular today > day 262: "infected". i have been reading "infected" by scott sigler. in the book one of the telltale signs of alien infection is the growth of blue triangles under the skin on various parts of the body. unfortunately my attempt at this looks like a bad tattoo! making it appear just under the skin looked like an overlay and making it puffy looked too much like a photoshop filter. oh well. a fun attempt nonetheless.
SmugMug > popular today > November 8, 2009 Celebration Florida
3 image panorama of Celebration a planned community developed by the Disney organization in 1996.  It's a pretty little town with several nice restaurants.  We had lunch there yesterday (our last day in Florida). We weren't able to be with Lori and the grandkids as we had planned.  As we headed for the airport we thought Lori was better (she caught swine flu) but she had a setback last night.  Alas, today is her birthday and she will spend it cooped up in a townhouse in Florida.  They had planned to go to the Magic Kingdom all day and end with a character dinner at the Crystal Palace.
If you've been following our adventure and want to send her a happy birthday message to lori@loriwilson.com it might cheer her up a bit.
Anyway, we're back in Chicago and (fingers crossed) appear to have escaped getting the swine flu.  
Have a great Sunday.
11-7-09 Distortion... I found a filter setting called "correct distortion" but used it instead to distort these grocery store snow crabs... after distorting the perspective I was left with a blank white background so I added a pattern background. Best viewed LARGE for the perspective change.
