Brainstorming

[toosuto]

I'm trying to come up with a good image/photoshoot for christmas cards and I'm coming up dry (or my plan is too expensive, like the one that included a bunch of HO scale models I can't afford...) Any ideas that you'd maybe like to see in your mail box?

Christmas lights and Rona sounds like a good starting point to me.

I strung them up all over her and the results were not quite what I was looking for yet. Although she had a great time, and then insisted on wrapping some of her animals up in lights and taking her own pictures of them...

Yah! That's terrible, what are those manufacturers thinking?

Actually, it's easier to take a color pic with B&W-style lighting, then put a Hue/Saturation layer over it in Photoshop, scale the saturation to 0%, and mask off the scarf. That way you can adjust the outline as needed. (One favorite is to leave in the eye color as well.)

Good idea.

unhelpful, but...

The lighting in that shot is absolutely amazing. It looks like a still from a major theatrical release! Like, in the next few frames...

Dammit. I have no idea what happens next. But, it's a rich picture.

ET waltz's in? The lighting kind of reminds me of the lighting in the pizza/dinner scene in ET...

Christmas cards

How about Rona setting up a Creche?

Or Rona looking at Store decorations?

Or Rona (and her mom) making Christmas cookies?

Hmm, I am sensing a theme...anything Rona!

God knew what She was doing when She gave Rona and you to each other. The best photographer and the best subject.
