Out of My Box
Uploaded: September 15, 2008
My FIRST attempt at an SP....SOOO out of my box!!! :) This was probably pretty funny to watch....I had my camera sitting on a pile of my daughter's books, was laying on the floor in my dinning room, and was stretching my arm to reach the button on the camera!!! :) Obviously I don't have the proper equipment but I do know my daughter had fun watching me!! :)
Cropped, smoothed skin, and converted to b&w using virtual photographer.
Have a Happy Monday!! :)

Great job! It is a beautiful portrait. Your edits are fabulous!!!The picture in my head of how you did this makes me smile. Hope you didn't pull any muscles. Maybe you can figure out Amber's suggestion for next time. That way you only have to try to not trip and fall as you rush to beat the clock. Big :)
