from the trash bin right into the keep bin!

So many times when I am photographing something or someone, there’s always a few shots that come out bad.  I always shoot in manual mode and sometimes I forget to change my settings before the first shot at a new location (for example: moving from outdoors to indoors).  The picture on the left is a perfect example of, in my opinion, a shot gone bad.  I had been outdoors prior to this shot and had my settings perfect for the outdoor shots.  Once I got inside, of course I forget to adjust my settings on the first few interior shots.  I was going to trash this shot but then I got to thinking….

what if I lightened, ran a photoshop action, lightened some more, got rid of the ceiling fan…what would it look like???

And whala (is that how you spell whala?) an art piece for the bride to remember her bridesmaids just moments before the ceremony.

still not the PERFECT shot but enough for me to say “from the trash bin right into the keep bin!”

I’m returning calls and emails today so if you are waiting to hear back from me, I will get back with you as soon as I can!  Brandon is home this weekend so you know where my priorities are!  :)   Thanks everyone!
