Paul: These two pictures are lovely--and what a great b-day present to the
Mrs. the AWB did a nice job--it's great that you have that natural light
from your doors. I love the fact in the 2nd one that you can see the photo
in the book--you guys look great--I can't see the photo too well, but it
looks like you have a bit of the Warren Beatty in you, no? :-). Lovely
pics and gesture, Paul. Cheers, Christine

I haven't posted a PESO in a long time, which is totally out of
character.
That's due in part to the virtual reality photos biz, which has kept me
really
busy, shooting 1000 frames a week or so. It's also the result of a
project I
undertook: the restoration of our wedding photos. They were 37 years old,
cracked and creased. All of them had taken on a deep maroon shade. I
scanned
each of about 70 on the Epson 3200 flatbed, restored the color and
retouched
them. The book was falling apart, so I bought a new Legacy album as well,
which
is the brand I sell to my brides. I would guess I have about 60 hours of
work
in that project, but it turned out well.
Which brings us to Grandma's birthday, where Grace presented her with the
book.
(Grace is our birthday elf and is the central figure at every event.).
Here
Grace waits anxiously while Grandma reads her card:

And here Grandma asks Grace, "who is that?" as she points to a wedding
pic.
Grace was amazed to discover that we were once very young:

I didn't use flash with these, primarily because I was being lazy:-). I
shot
them at ISO 1100, f4 @ 1/30th with the DA* 16-50/2.8 on the K20D. I used
AWB and
didn't correct color temp. I was pleased with the way the camera balanced
the
warm overhead tungsten and the cold window light. And that's all!
