Area 52: Week 2 (Holiday Edition in Two Parts)

Of course the holidays offer great opportunities for snapshots and get me:  I'm only a coupla weeks late posting!


This first entry is family snapshots, some of which I am genuinely proud.  Because I knew we would be inside, I slapped the 50mm 1.8 on Betty (don't judge) and fired away.  Some were taken with flash (an SB 800, bounced) and some not.

Shot o' the Day, I Think




Dad, immediately reading from his Christmas present, a coffee table/photography book on the history of Harley Davidson.  I used a template on this shot, one that attempts to recreate the look of Kodachrome film.  Successfully, I might add.




To the right, my niece, Q.  I used a B&W preset on this one, then bumped a couple of levels to get just the look I wanted.








And another niece: Madison.  No flash, but did use a preset designed to mimic film.










Bub, In Repose

And not to be outdone: my nephew Stetson.  Or, as I prefer, Bub. 










These are just a couple of family snapshots in various treatments.  Enjoy!

  1. Well done sir. Those days spent in total seclusion, reading your lil' books and doing test after test is paying off. Good captures and documentation of a fun family day.
