Motherhood - Romania2007-65.jpg

I wish I had moved around to get Cris out of the shot and get more of her face...this is a friend nursing her baby

My first go at wedding pictures. I toyed a bit with coloring and the mist...but overall, I was happy with the composition

Fun in the sun - Romania2007-213bwc.jpg

Here we are at the Black Sea. The color version is good but I'm a B&W fan and got to toy with a color feature in PSP. I also love the glare of light reflecting off of the water around her head

Another jab at depth of field. My only dislike is that the lighting at the top is too bright. May possibly toy with that later.

Lonely traveler - nicholasbdayparty2007-52.jpg

This was so much fun! I toyed with color and B&W but in the end, the sepia won out. It made me feel like she was back in the 1920's.

The sunset cast an interesting effect on the girls. I really played with this in PSP but it was fun to go crazy

Aquarium - June2007-61.jpg

My original camera auto-focused for me so it zoomed in on her reflection. At first I was unhappy but now I think it's a pretty unique shot

The ice storm had hit and I was trying to play with lighting techniques at night. Didn't quite do what I want (out of focus a bit) but it was a fun assignment

The family we visited had a roof of grapes. It is beautiful and I wanted to remember it somehow. Played a bit with the program to give the misting effect.
