Family Portraits

For our assignment this week to do some people pictures, Natalie and I set up a little studio in our basement. I have a couple of lights and a tripod, so we put up a sheet for a background and voila! Mr. Mark's new competition. ;-)

I have started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to organize and edit my images. All I did for these was to crop them a bit and run the auto fix algorithm to see what would happen. I can't say I'm real impressed with the changes that the program made. No doubt this means I need to spend a lot more time learning what I'm doing.

Stop!

If your car gets this close to the sign on a dead-end street, you're in trouble.

The Flash Effect

Here is a similar picture of Natalie with the same settings except using the camera's internal flash.

Dust to Dust

This is Natalie on the stairs with dust motes in the foreground.
