<\/a><\/p>\nDid some work in Lightroom:<\/p>\n
Then into Photoshop for the text (hopefully I can do this all in Lightroom 3 when it comes out):<\/p>\n So the computer editing is all well and good, but at this point Dallin just looks like he’s shaking his fist in the air. \u00a0The funnest part of this project is when you add the lollipop:<\/p>\n Full disclosure that I blatantly stole this\u00a0valentines day card idea<\/a> from Suzanne over at\u00a0Lookie Loo Photography<\/a>. \u00a0I am a huge fan of her work and if I were to have someone else take pics of my family, she would be one of the two I would go to.<\/p>\n So what is Dallintines day? \u00a0Last year when my son Dallin could first really register the word “valentines” he naturally thought it was Dallin<\/em>tines because\u00a0hey… how many words have an “allin” sound in them? So when I started thinking about recreating this idea in making a card for him to hand out, I thought it would be fun to include that on the card.<\/p>\n Dallin doesn’t normally like to sit\/stand still for my parentally enforced photo shoots. \u00a0Luckily he was kind of interested in this one after seeing Suzanne’s examples and so cooperated with me. He even did the arm on the hip like Suzanne’s daughter did without my prompting. \u00a0Here are a few more of the winning shots from the evening. \u00a0We got a few of each of them printed out to mix it up a little.<\/p>\n Thanks to Suzanne (who hopefully isn’t mad I “borrowed” her idea) for the inspiration. This was the most fun I’ve had taking pics with Dallin in a while.<\/p>\n I shot this in my basement with my two\u00a0AlienBees B800<\/a> studio lights, two yards of fabric from the fabric store and my normal camera gear. \u00a0The fabric is actually clamped on to a boxspring I have standing up against the wall… nothing too fancy.<\/p>\n I got the studio lights after the first studio lighting photowalk<\/a> back in 2008. So far all I’ve used them for is pics of family (and the occasional macro<\/a>). \u00a0I really need to break out of my comfort zone and use them more often so I can get good enough to charge a few bucks and get the cost back. \u00a0But until then, I sure have lots of great pics of my boys and their cousins \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story behind this down lower… I started with the following picture: Did some work in Lightroom: Then into Photoshop for the text (hopefully I can do this all in Lightroom 3 when it comes out): Final Product So the computer editing is all well and good, but at this point Dallin just looks like he’s …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,59,8,68],"tags":[35,74,4,13,71,73,94,72],"class_list":["post-131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-family","category-how-its-made","category-people","category-projects","tag-canon-40d","tag-cards","tag-efs-28-135-is","tag-family","tag-fun","tag-holiday","tag-projects","tag-valentines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":137,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131\/revisions\/137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.aaronbarkerphotography.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"20100203-7-2\"](\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4040\/4332970875_e73ff94bbc.jpg\")
