It saddens me to forward the news that our good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Quinn, has passed. As some of you may know, he had been battling cancer for a while and was on his way to recovery. Please take a moment to remember him in your prayers. |

Re: Thanksgiving
Well the whole key is to start with a super image that is set up to perfection in the studio.........Bahahahaha!! almost embarrassing to show the original image Steve, but for you I bare my soul....I'm all about capturing expressions, however and whenever I can, patience and living in the viewfinder I have found to be very helpful in this regard...for the highlight an shadow enhancement of this photo the process described in this video was most helpful. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fduNNlVd-90) enjoy Steve.

Wow, I'm so glad you showed the original. I assumed you used the car to get a dark photo and might have spent hours trying to reproduce it. Love it! S-

I love 'em both. It's a very cool out-of-the-box treatment of kids, and I like it! I had to look for some time to conclude that I liked it owing to having pictured many, many kids in my day, and then the mandatory rule was kids = light backgrounds, but also have eclectic tastes and this approach works! Kudos! 
Edit: OMG I didn't see the before, failed to notice there was a second page! Now I am even MORE impressed!!

All the great photographers use cameras! No, really.

Wasn't looking to impress Chuck, the hard part is catching the expressions, but thank you...when you don't know the rules you don't feel the limits...Charles Haacker wrote:I love 'em both.
