January 10, 2012 – A year of portraits – Erica and Will

Sometimes photos just show up at my desk. Erica and her brother Will were making the rounds of the Newsroom taking orders for Girl Scout Cookies and took time to pose for this three minute portrait. I call it that because it took me about a minute to shoot 4 pictures with my iPhone, and the other two to pick the best one, open it in SnapSeed, edit it and apply the border to it, all while the kids watched the process. They liked the results, as did their mom.

Camera was the built in iPhone 4 camera with the editing done in Snapseed with adjustments to the shadows and highlights, the drama filter and then a frame applied to produce this final photo, all in three minutes.
