You know the drill. “Let’s just run out in the yard and snap a simple photo for this year’s Christmas card.” Not so fast. If you’ve heard me whine about this before you can skip to the next post. I don’t think I’m trying to make our life look “perfect” with a “perfect” picture, there are just so many factors that all have to come together to make a decent one: lighting, composition, focus, open eyes, non-bizarre faces, attitudes… Then you get some shots that look pretty good but you realize they may not accurately represent the physical appearance or personality of someone in the photograph, and you hate to give it annual documentary status if it’s not really representative.
So, here are a few outtakes:
attitude on the left…
bizarre in the middle…
subjects not visible; bizarre on the right…
eyes…
lighting…
56 options, and here was the winner:
Precious children!
