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.
