Over the River and Through the Woods
Went for an early Christmas dinner at Susan’s Aunt Mary’s & Uncle Bob’s (or Sam; or Sam Bob). A few of us went trespassing–I mean, hiking.

A Sunday Afternoon
A construction site near my folks’s house drew me over Sunday afternoon. We were over there to celebrate mine and my Mom’s birthdays.

Serene Birthday
We held Serene’s birthday party today. You had to wear pink, “or be pinched.” A couple of uncles worked out a more…manly…approach to the Hello Kitty theme.

More Cornerstone Portraits
These are the last of the Cornerstone portraits. I learned a lot:
- The lights need to be further away from the subjects.
- 3 lights is probably better than just 2.
- I need a background 3m x 3m to ensure full coverage.
- Have an assistant.
- I need a variety of neutral backgrounds that can be chosen based on hair color and clothes. The idea is to have a background that can be easily separated from the subjects.

More Portraits
Got a few more of the portraits ready for printing. Susan and I are getting better at using Photoshop Elements.
NOTE: These are portraits taken at the December meeting of the Cornerstone Homeshooling group.

More Portrait Taking
Yesterday I learned how much more I still have to learn about shooting portraits. Everything didn’t go exactly as planned, but I learned a lot–about lighting, and about how to salvage images with Photoshop Elements. 😉 I used Elements to replace the background I actually shot against. If you go back through the blog, you should be able to find the images I pulled them from.
