exploded with outrage and violence. Protests erupted in cities all over
the country. Black Lives Matter became the battle cry and I attended two
rallies in Saginaw. I would not have gone if I feared they would turn
violent. I was relieved Saginaw’s rallies remained peaceful with positive
exchanges with police officers. But, violence, looting and protests

Creating composites is one of my favorite things to do with photography!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also boosts my portrait business to a new level</div>

because I can offer clients photos beyond the ordinary.</div>

I get asked all the time how to do composite work,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so here are some tips and tricks for coming up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with fun ideas and how to composite them into one photograph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing, is to decide your scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to peruse <a href="https://pixabay.com/">Pixabay</a>...a free photo site for inspiration!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the photo above, I was creating a Christmas card for two little sisters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I typed in Christmas on Pixabay and I found this photo of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the gingerbread house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That gave me the idea to make it life-sized and add the girls!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got the snowy background from Pixabay.</div>

Finding an interesting photo can spark ideas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to blow out the roof and side rooms</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I could see the outdoors and add snow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to create a fantasy photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a sky, and winter scenes, plus snow!</div>

I hope this gives you some inspiration to try some composites</div>

of your own. Just start playing with it by moving</div>

subjects to new backgrounds.</div>

It does take trial and error to figure out proportion, shading and light,</div>

Jill's Macarons</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Meringue: </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 egg whites at room temperature</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/4 cup granulated sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tsp. vanilla or other extract flavor (Try filling your tsp. 3/4 full of vanilla and fill the rest of the tsp. with almond extract! So yummy!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few drops of color gel to your liking</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Dry ingredients:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Almond-Blanched-Anthonys-Tested-Gluten-Free/dp/B00IDLV6OM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3A5PJNEX43Z8Y&keywords=anthony%27s+almond+flour&qid=1582313615&sprefix=anthony%27s%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-3">Anthony's Premium Blanched Almond Flour</a> (I got this from Amazon)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup confectioner's sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I put all meringue ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl and beat on high until the meringue formed stiff peaks. If you can turn the bowl upside down and the meringue stays put...it's ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fold in the dry ingredients and keep folding for about 30 strokes. You want the mixture to flow like lava from the spatula.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Place mixture into a 16-inch piping bag with a Wilton 1A piping tip. Pipe straight down and lift.

After piping, lift the cookie pan about 6 inches off the counter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and let it fall 3 to 5 times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As a photographer, I was first attracted to macarons because I wanted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to photograph their pastel loveliness!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Here are a few tips for Photographing baked goods:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gather a variety of matching plates, cups, flowers, and any other props</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you would like to include in your macaron photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to shoot on my kitchen table with my big picture window behind the scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Window light from behind or from the side is beautiful,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just don't shoot with the subject in direct, harsh sunlight.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See how I staggered my props depth-wise? </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taller bunnies are in far back, shorter props </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
staggered in depth behind the main subject...the macarons!</div>

It all started when my friend sent me a newspaper article about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a Christmas movie filming in the nearby town of Frankenmuth, Michigan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that needed extras to mill around in the background!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Frankenmuth is the CHRISTMASIEST town on earth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with holiday lights and finery dazzling all through the quaint Bavarian village.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have photographed there many times!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's also home to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the largest Christmas store in the world!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew it was the perfect backdrop for a Christmas movie,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I wanted to be in that backdrop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I immediately followed instructions in the article and sent off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an email to the casting company.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was excited actor Brant Daughtery from my hometown of Cincinnati</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and his then-fiance Kim Hidalgo (They're married now!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were starring in the movie!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Within minutes, I heard back from a woman named Tessa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
saying she would be sending the schedule soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guessed I was IN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Except...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never got the schedule or heard from Tessa again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUMMER!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, the movie was busy filming in frigid March </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so close to my home with locals as extras!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't miss this chance to experience the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making of a Christmas movie so,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drove to Frankenmuth on one of the last shooting dates</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and poked around town for a film crew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really, I just wanted to witness the making of a holiday movie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I am an avid fan!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I carefully dressed in a red sweater, with a red and white striped hat and scarf set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured if I looked Christmasy, they may let me in the film!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My heart started to pitter-patter when I rounded a corner and saw people</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
strewing quilt batting on trees and sidewalks to look like snow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLdBCmSAmMsupyh7oZrtzW_Fa4obKou1ZYQd-4QTmvqasI_DpqRDReYiS4ap8iEdVe1sBvynUZGbvQL4Bxe7mGSq1qXg-ockrNGM6jbtPpmD51zyZORfx4PxajSRdIU7k2psHRRl7R_Ays/s1600/IMG_2229+%2528002%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLdBCmSAmMsupyh7oZrtzW_Fa4obKou1ZYQd-4QTmvqasI_DpqRDReYiS4ap8iEdVe1sBvynUZGbvQL4Bxe7mGSq1qXg-ockrNGM6jbtPpmD51zyZORfx4PxajSRdIU7k2psHRRl7R_Ays/s400/IMG_2229+%2528002%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I saw men hauling what looked like film equipment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I clicked off photos as fast as I could figuring</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they would soon realize I did not belong there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and kick me out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OMG! I will, at least, get to see the production from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
behind-the-scenes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After snapping photos of the exciting set-up, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and still not kicked-out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned around and right there...across that little wooden bridge...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The EXTRAS!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZv5fz_SphSjBH9Yg2LIQ4z_awLMiBZkE_x7hRfS4omshIiKwr71EEzqhbdECi4kP3AQd6b-PK-HGtM4xwQz3WtW_0msb5iZaqm6YJguxk4SrJWS1pk_bqgHvu8ZSIXA8Q5Ruh6vmSrmf/s1600/IMG_2255+%2528002%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZv5fz_SphSjBH9Yg2LIQ4z_awLMiBZkE_x7hRfS4omshIiKwr71EEzqhbdECi4kP3AQd6b-PK-HGtM4xwQz3WtW_0msb5iZaqm6YJguxk4SrJWS1pk_bqgHvu8ZSIXA8Q5Ruh6vmSrmf/s400/IMG_2255+%2528002%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look closely at that wooden bridge because that becomes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
important later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I rushed across the structure and started photographing those</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
EXTRA STARS, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all aglow in their Christmas duds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were led by their own "extras director" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hi, my name is Ryan!" he shouted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recorded Ryan on my phone showing the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
extras exactly where to walk and how to space themselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was starting to feel like one of THEM...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was barging in and was right THERE</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
walking next to Ryan the king of the EXTRAS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's when my mouth opened and the words spilled out:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me: Ryan, do you need an extra EXTRA?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He sized me up in my Christmas hat and scarf :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ryan: You certainly look the part! Yes! We'd love to have you join us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was whisked off to a building to fill out paperwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Guess who was at the table?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
TESSA!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I didn't remind Tessa she never emailed me back or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
say, "See, Tessa...I AM in this movie!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turns out Tessa was SO nice and friendly and helpful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of colorful Christmas characters...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all from my local area milled about,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
excited and overjoyed to be a part of it all!</div>

They lined us up and took photos of all our outfits</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to identify everyone.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We bonded over the fun of Christmas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this new experience!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I'm on the far right in my strategic striped hat and scarf!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who WOULDN'T want me in a Christmas movie...ho! ho!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was time to start filming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tessa made me remove my coat because it was black and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they wanted Christmas colors on everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
UGH...actors must suffer for their craft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was 35 degrees out there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was paired up with a lovely young gal named Devin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who had already filmed for four days, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so she was an expert and knew the ropes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Devin told me to never look at the camera and to walk slowly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and follow the exact path laid out by Ryan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when they practiced earlier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, geez! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't paying attention then...I was snapping photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We practiced walking in a large figure-eight pattern</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which eventually crossed the wooden bridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They cued the extras to begin walking,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then a few moments later, cued the actors to start action.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS32E8tNO7_ZmPvRM6Jqx6Nj2d8DiuW3Pt_YlgkP5AF2U17BtMrTM9Xs6jwE_96xFlFxGLOvVN_nxq2IPRQ0Xy9RVenVHCj8mFJSgGNu4LgFigrSx3e_FfTdd9uD32Qv6Ep8QOM6HJBxw7/s1600/1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="580" data-original-width="1027" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS32E8tNO7_ZmPvRM6Jqx6Nj2d8DiuW3Pt_YlgkP5AF2U17BtMrTM9Xs6jwE_96xFlFxGLOvVN_nxq2IPRQ0Xy9RVenVHCj8mFJSgGNu4LgFigrSx3e_FfTdd9uD32Qv6Ep8QOM6HJBxw7/s640/1e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I noticed that the action cue happened right as Devin and I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were passing behind the actors on the wood bridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a few takes, a woman ran out of a building and gave me a large</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
present to carry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I KNEW if they didn't cut that scene, Devin and I would be in it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three hours later, dizzy from walking in that figure-8 and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pretty much frozen, my acting role</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, it was worth the winter chill!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eight months later, I sat on my cozy couch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watching "Christmas Movie Christmas" and when</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the actor's crossed the wooden bridge...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sure enough...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there I was with Devin, and my big present!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also showed up as a red blob in the background</div>

of a later scene.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spring has finally sprung here in Michigan...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about two weeks later than usual!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I met fellow Michigan blogger and Instagram-er Tracy from <a href="https://www.plaidsandpoppies.com/blog">Plaids & Poppies</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
online last fall, and since she blogs about gardening and decorating,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I invited her to meet me at the spring spectacular </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dow Gardens for a portrait shoot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, my! Dow Gardens was bursting with tulips, daffodils</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and all the spring bushes and trees!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you primarily use your phone to take photos,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you are probably disappointed when they</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turn out dark and drab.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Editing apps are my favorite way to create that light and airy look </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that is popular on social media platforms these days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apps make it quick and easy and you don't have to be</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a technical genius to edit with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite app is <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pictapgo/id585307861?mt=8">PicTapGo</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it because you can instantly lighten, brighten</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and improve photos with a few simple clicks!</div>

The best part of this app is the slider at the bottom of each</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PicTapGo is my GO-TO app for quick editing.</div>

Easter is late this year which gives us time to create<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some special eggs and photos for the holiday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are decoupage Easter eggs made with napkins!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A fun and easy project older children can try, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought pretty Easter napkins with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
various spring colors and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These designer napkins usually come in 3-ply,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so separate the colorful layer from the white layers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out the various designs so you have different size cut-outs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, use Mod Podge to decoupage the cut-outs onto your eggs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used wood craft eggs I found at Hobby Lobby</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I can use these year after year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But you can also blow out real eggs.</div>

I think they turned out so pretty and am proud to show them off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in my house, displayed in a pretty Easter basket...</div>

I also went crazy with baking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually hate to bake, but I think pastel macarons</div>

are lovely, so I HAD to try making them!</div>

I watched several video tutorials on how to create these pretty gems and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is the recipe I ended up trying: <a href="https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/easy-macarons">Easy Macarons</a></div>

plunged us into record-breaking cold temperatures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, as you can see in the photo above, </div>

Where I live, we hit 22-below-zero f, but others</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bottomed out at 56-below-zero!</div>

It was brutal, yet I was super excited to get some snow to play with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on my snow table!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cover it with a plastic table cloth that I clamp down so the wind doesn't</div>

carry it away.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the temps so frosty, the first thing I wanted to try was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
photographing frozen bubbles!</div>

I tried it on a day that was too windy and only this next bubble stuck:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to poke my finger in the top of the bubble after it has frozen,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to create a hole. This really shows that it is frozen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See that glittery snow around the bubble on my snow table?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's white glitter!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sprinkled it around the bubble to add sparkle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day, there was no wind, but it was 5-degrees...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
perfect for frozen bubbles!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the photos above and the next few...the background is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the snow that had fallen on my back porch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just pick a theme or color scheme and lay out a pleasing display.</div>

I also made a variety of flat boards for backgrounds by covering</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cardboard or poster board with</div>

bulletin board paper you can buy at the craft store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It comes in wide rolls in white, black, colors, plus wonderful wood grains in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
several tones...even stone for about $9 a roll!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While Christmas shopping downtown, I noticed this cute red car</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thought the green awning in the background looked Christmasy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I snapped a photo with my iPhone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photo was kinda boring, so I ran it through my </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FAVORITE painterly photo editing app called</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/brushstroke/id824421012?mt=8">Brush Stroke</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The app costs $3.99, but I think it's well worth it and I use it often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The app includes a ton of painting styles to choose from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how it gives the photo a warm, cozy feel...like a Christmas card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I wished I could add a snow overlay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did some research and found two apps that apply snow overlays!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first one is called</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.weebly.com/app-center/snow-effect">Snow Effect</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWEpalHkdHRe8ZhNdCbuCrwuOtSbA18_NFrRsNeKrNyuZx4NgCL4pAWps_qXW2t8uhQeZ78ktIOP2RVwcww0201I4gZYp1VxQf30tVzeZvVS2UfrU9mriLRpGtvIOJwRjETlKwHJ8mhxr/s1600/IMG_7413+%2528002%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWEpalHkdHRe8ZhNdCbuCrwuOtSbA18_NFrRsNeKrNyuZx4NgCL4pAWps_qXW2t8uhQeZ78ktIOP2RVwcww0201I4gZYp1VxQf30tVzeZvVS2UfrU9mriLRpGtvIOJwRjETlKwHJ8mhxr/s640/IMG_7413+%2528002%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The app is free, but I was annoyed by the ads popping up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It includes ten wonderful snow overlays that are easy to add to photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though it doesn't allow you to lower the opacity or erase snow,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this ended up being my favorite of the snow apps because of the great overlays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another snow app called <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snow-daze/id476090168?mt=8">Snow Daze</a> does allow you to take control</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of opacity and erasing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It costs $1.99.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with this photo:</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Changed it to a "painting" in Brush Stroke:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBznYu2lWT1XcyW_DEDz_e7tTib6T-vwjrdrGGuOw-fMhRXwLV3_uCPbv8WXkeU_VFajptUZcyiPoJFZVfwQbyeK5eZZFxhmVzShrZBdUQdqXGPvQSVYtvuzWGIKePdtsB7TpQiWwPlT7/s1600/IMG_7546+%2528002%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBznYu2lWT1XcyW_DEDz_e7tTib6T-vwjrdrGGuOw-fMhRXwLV3_uCPbv8WXkeU_VFajptUZcyiPoJFZVfwQbyeK5eZZFxhmVzShrZBdUQdqXGPvQSVYtvuzWGIKePdtsB7TpQiWwPlT7/s640/IMG_7546+%2528002%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then added snow in Snow Daze:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Snow daze also has adjustable cloudiness and extra whiteness,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I didn't like the choice of snow overlays as much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, it is nice to have control over the snow placement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here, the snow is distracting on her face and eyes:</div>

Miss Chloe</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Surprisingly, these were not taken with my big DSLR camera...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they were taken with my iPhone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally upgraded my iPhone to the XS-Max this fall,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I have been playing a lot with the portrait mode</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and want to share what I learned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting with the iPhone 7 Plus, all the plus versions have portrait mode.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To use it, simply click on Portrait</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the camera menu:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRA3Lc7NcL0SaFFNszx-lQOwReslN0h2APLQzSaO3lPhcpXv_BINO1lfQ_Khp2f5iFe0KMYrdot9NyuRqLuCUr7S4as9Qo4wC3vNQEKTYBJqtAn7kaSNUfZOzqtvldME6iuueW_7SFuh1/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="990" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRA3Lc7NcL0SaFFNszx-lQOwReslN0h2APLQzSaO3lPhcpXv_BINO1lfQ_Khp2f5iFe0KMYrdot9NyuRqLuCUr7S4as9Qo4wC3vNQEKTYBJqtAn7kaSNUfZOzqtvldME6iuueW_7SFuh1/s640/2.jpg" width="392" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The portrait mode will zoom in closer than the photo mode,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you will need to back up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You must be between 2 and 8 feet from the subject to use the portrait mode.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you see this warning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you need to back up until it disappears:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once, you're at the correct distance, use your finger to tap on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the screen where you want the phone to focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A yellow box will appear and the phone will focus in that location</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and intuitively outline the subject to separate it from the background:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been photographing Vintage Val for five years now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I especially enjoy the Christmas shoots!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, it's a PINK Christmas, and as always with Vintage Val,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the vision and props fell into place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started with me finding a vintage white Christmas tree at the thrift store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc0PQwAkdrUxj_27YdkB_hbbC-V8PpmdCk6RNLexAJAeRh_Ea6ShUEqbmQ4-BdiOzxvPR2YLphN2i6oLM6c9wyko473YiteN_2rNcF5WDyHGeIoRvLFe7j8HqseeeUeR9Wpj4bbFjK423I/s1600/z2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc0PQwAkdrUxj_27YdkB_hbbC-V8PpmdCk6RNLexAJAeRh_Ea6ShUEqbmQ4-BdiOzxvPR2YLphN2i6oLM6c9wyko473YiteN_2rNcF5WDyHGeIoRvLFe7j8HqseeeUeR9Wpj4bbFjK423I/s640/z2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tree was pre-lit and I asked at the store if I could plug it in to test the lights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Several parts of the tree didn't light,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I got a nice discount and stuffed the tree into my car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found pink Christmas lights at Walmart for $5,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and pink wrapping paper and ribbon at Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were all set for Vintage Val to be wrapping Christmas gifts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Val brought her pup Morty who posed so sweetly, AGAIN!</div>

As I've shared before,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always get visions for my Vintage Val shoot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the gift wrapping scene...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, there was MORE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While at a thrift store, I found the most gorgeous</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vintage pink gown and the visions continued.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband bought some pink rose' wine for the shoot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my blogger friend Terri had a vintage looking wine bottle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's August, and that brings our county fair to town!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought the fair would be a perfect place to try out some</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
slow-shutter shots!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I talked about creating motion while panning with a slow shutter in <a href="http://www.jillwellingtonblog.com/2012/03/panning-photos.html">this blog post.</a></div>

This technique requires it to be darker outside.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I shot these as the sun was just about down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That way, the long shutter would not blow out the photos.</div>

I figured the county fair would be colorful with lots of beautiful lights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I looked for subjects that were standing in one position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the fair, this was usually while they watched a swirling ride.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My ISO was 100</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to adjust the settings as the light changed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually changed the aperture,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but if it was exceptionally bright near a lighted area, I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sped up the shutter.</div>

I did this hand-held which was extremely difficult to hold steady for a full second!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your subject will most likely move a tad, so they probably</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
won't be in perfect focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had my best results with people glued to their phones!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sat like statues!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My motto for them: If you are on your phone...life is passing you by!</div>

I went back another evening with my friend Terri to have more </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
control over the main subject.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Terri writes a wonderful lifestyle blog called <a href="http://www.champagneandgrace.com/">Champagne and Grace</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to take photos for her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and use them for me to teach you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This technique was so much easier with a willing model!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Terri, stand there and don't MOVE!"</div>

stand absolutely still!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can try this with your kids, your family members or friends.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stand your subject right in the middle of the action to capture lots of movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or place your subject by a moving vehicle or in this case, a ride!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This really is a fun technique to try out and play with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think of dark locations like a busy city street,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or inside a bar...any place with lots of movement!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait to try this technique again!</div>

It's August, and summer is beginning to fade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One highlight of my summer is the amazing wildflowers that </div>

grew up to my shoulder along our nearby walking path!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a vision for that photo above, with Miss Ella's arms reaching wide</div>

Once you take your street photos, you will want to edit them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the first decisions is whether to turn them to black and white.</div>

I love color so much, that it just about kills me to remove color from my photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I must say, with street photography, I often prefer black and white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If a photo has a lot of detail, color can confuse the eye:</div>

Notice how the colorful background clutter fades away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and now the eye focuses on the subject...the waving beauty queens!</div>

Black and white can also help with lighting problems you may have encountered.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was at an outdoor market in France and saw this lovely lady</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a white ruffled dress. I stalked her a bit because I loved that dress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was finally able to snap this photo, but the bright sun created harsh shadows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The black and white fixed that issue.</div>

I think it's worth trying ALL your street photos in black and white!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll continue to show you the comparisons of the photos I shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this next photo, I prefer it in color...love that pink and green!</div>

Some people think you should not edit street photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I disagree!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Unless you are a photo-journalist and it is ethical to show<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it like it is...you should EDIT!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the very least, add a bit of contrast,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
boost the saturation if necessary, straighten the horizon, and sharpen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ALWAYS edit every photo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can edit as you please...you are the artist </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the photo and you can do whatever you want with it!</div>

that don't pop when they come into contact with a flower</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by adding glycerin to the bubbles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I searched all over town for glycerin at various drug stores,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and finally ended up buying it off Amazon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked this <a href="https://amzn.to/2LP1ZnA"><span style="color: #a64d79;">De La Cruz Glycerine and Rose Water</span></a> (Affliliate Link)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It worked great and smelled great, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I glugged a bit of the rose glycerin in with the bubble soap that I bought at the dollar store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I simply blew the bubble close to the flower,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it immediately stuck to the petals and leaves!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I snapped this with my phone to show you the size of the bubble.</div>

I used my Tamron 90mm Macro Lens,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but if you don't have a macro lens and don't want to invest in one,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can try extension tubes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I own the <a href="https://amzn.to/2Olhi9k">Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set</a> and love it with my 50mm lens on my Canon.</div>

Try out various angles and background light.</div>

This works especially well with the mottled light</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually, I like to think of it more as candid photography,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you can shoot great candid photos just about everywhere you go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watch for spontaneous moments during family time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of always setting up poses, look for natural MOMENTS</div>

I actually sat right down on the sidewalk and composed the shot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the sign to the left. I also loved the flag and pretty sky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to be eye level with the sign so those who viewed my photo</div>

In all fairness to Kim, I was teaching her street photography that day and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she did what most of us do...she got excited when she saw</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the little boy with the cone and quickly snapped his photo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from her eye level.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, if you want your photos to go beyond the mundane,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take the time to think out the composition,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We are always AMAZED at the different perspectives in our photos</div>

even though we were in the same spot seeing the same things.</div>

I am blessed to live near two friends who LOVE photography!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact, I met both Lucy and Terri through this blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both were learning photography and came across my blog</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then realized I live so close and contacted me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy and I have adventured all over our glorious state of Michigan together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
including this three day waterfall tour in the Upper Peninsula.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When using my Canon 5d Mark iii camera,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my favorite lens for street photography is the 50mm 1.4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This basic prime lens captures what your eye is seeing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you like wider angles, try a 35mm lens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, really...you can use any camera or lens that you have!</div>

I am having a fab time with my iPhone camera for street photography!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have the iPhone 6S-Plus, but I am drooling over the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
newer iPhones like the 8-plus and X for their dual lenses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a quick click, you can zoom in or use the portrait mode for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shots with depth-of-field.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, if I want to zoom in closer with my 6S-Plus, </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a great lens, but it's annoying to carry around and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
screw it in when you need it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I miss many good shots this way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will purchase the latest model iPhone with the dual camera</div>

when it comes out in September!</div>

Before we get into my tips for capturing stunning street photos,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you need to understand the law and ethics involved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In America, you are free to photograph people in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
public places, even children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I know this because I was a broadcast news reporter for 18 years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and every day we photographed people in public then aired it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the nightly news! </div>

take their photo on the street...they are wrong!</div>

Even if a person is on their own property, if they are in view from</div>

public land such as a street or sidewalk, they are fair game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just don't trespass onto their property to take their photo!</div>

You can snap photos with people including faces, post them on social media,</div>

blogs, even sell the photos.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, DON'T try to use a street photo with a face to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
advertise something. For that, you will need a model release.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In all my years of reporting and street photography, I have never once</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
asked for a model release. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yet, if you know you will use a street photo for commercial use, then carry </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
model releases with you and get a signature right after you shoot the photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Places like stores, malls, museums, and schools seem public,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they are actually private property.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thus, whoever owns that property has the right to ban photography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are uncertain and know you will want to share your photos publicly, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
simply ask the manager if you can take pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I don't see a sign banning photography, I usually go ahead and shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I'm at all concerned...I shoot from behind so I don't show faces.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many people were taking photos, so I did, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw this woman with an endearing hat sitting in the alcove</div>

and I loved the natural light. I composed my shot and</div>

She smiled back and gazed out the window again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think of how you would feel if someone snapped a photo of </div>

your dress blowing up and posted in on Facebook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then it went viral with a million views!</div>

Don't do that to someone!</div>

because that's when I get the most natural expressions, walking gaits, etc.</div>

In this next case, I saw these cute gals taking photos of each other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while sitting on a fancy couch outside a store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I casually sat down on the bench across from them and with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my iPhone camera, I composed this shot to include the interesting planter,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then sat and waited for an interesting moment.</div>

I never made eye contact with them. My eyes stayed on the planter and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the girls were not intimidated or had any idea I photographed them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to hold up my camera and appear to be scanning the area, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or gazing past my subject. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even while pretty much aiming my camera right at them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they relax and don't realize they are actually the STAR of the photo!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took their photo. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One was with a man in London. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kindly explained that I was a tourist</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shooting the scenery and he calmed down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually deleted that shot because ethically, I did not want</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to use his face when he obviously didn't want to be in the photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I snapped him from behind as he walked away:</div>

If someone looks alarmed because you're taking a photo,</div>

nod and smile, then look back at the scenery.</div>

My sister has five grandchildren and when each was a baby,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I photographed them and created a special composite portrait.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister ordered canvas wraps for each grandchild</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and has them on a wall in her home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The youngest grandchild lives in Cincinnati and I felt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so fortunate I got to visit when Abigail was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ten months old...perfect timing for her special composite!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The difficult part...it was March and still cold and drab outdoors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to share with you how we set up and photographed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Abigail in my sister's living room in a way that you can do, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I brought my tri-fold white foam core poster board and a piece of white foam core.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These two items are readily available at any craft store for cheap!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set up your scene facing a large picture window, preferably on a sunny day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't shoot your subject in direct sunlight, however...wait until the sun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is NOT shining directly into the room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My little white "studio" makes it very easy to extract Abigail from the photo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Photoshop and move her to a new scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also reflects light onto her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I did with that photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You would never guess Abigail was photographed on a drab winter day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I switched out the yellow flower for a tulip to match the scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By using natural outdoor light from the window, it's easy to move </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the baby to an outdoor scene as the tones are very similar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try different poses and outfits!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Babies between 6 and 10 months old are ideal for this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because once you sit them down, they really don't move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If they are antsy or fussy, give them something to hold that would go with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your scene. In this case, we had Abigail hold some fake flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As they are looking at that object, simply call</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
their name and CLICK!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DO NOT use added lights, especially from lamps in the room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as they will create a yellow and sometimes blue color cast that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
does not mix well with outdoor backgrounds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have always had a fascination with macro photography...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
zooming in super close to see all the details.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I never had the patience and was actually a bit intimidated</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to figure out how to capture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
these close-up gems!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After undergoing hip surgery in December, I was forced to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stay inside and decided to spend the winter FINALLY learning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
macro photography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am SO HAPPY I conquered the fear and confusion!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because I was sorta held captive at my </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kitchen table, I experimented over and over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what worked for me, so you can try it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Equipment I used:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Canon 5D Mark III camera</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tamron 90mm macro lens </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tripod</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Photoshop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't own a macro lens, you can purchase extension tubes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but make sure you buy the more expensive tubes with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
electronic connections so the auto-focus is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
compatible with your lens. The cheaper tubes will not allow you to auto-focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kenko-Auto-Extension-Canon-Mount/dp/B000U8Y88M">Kenko's Extension Tube Set for Canon</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also purchase the set for Nikon or buy name brand tubes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first attempts at macro were exciting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used auto-focus but set my own focus point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved zeroing in on close-up details while the rest </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the photo became blurred art.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned very quickly that with macro you have an exremely </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
narrow depth-of field...thus a teensy sliver in focus!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this next photo, the focus point is on the area where the stamen sticks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out of the flower, but the end of the stamen which is just a tad further away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the photo is blurred.</div>

That's when I began to study focus stacking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this simple pink flower, I stacked 10 photos and merged in Photoshop.</div>

That's when I realized, I need to focus in on every detail of the flower</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even if it takes a TON of photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo is 48 photos merged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice how all details of the flower are in focus.</div>

I took multiple photos with different focus points,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then stacked and merged them in Photoshop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Photoshop is AMAZING at figuring out the prime focus point from each</div>

photo and seamlessly merging them into one photo!</div>

Here's how I photographed for focus stacking:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created this cheapy little macro studio facing a large window</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on my kitchen table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply bought a tri-fold white board and plopped a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
foam core board on top and bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For backgrounds, I taped scrapbook paper on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the white board behind the subject or you can </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep the background white...or use another color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set up your camera on a tripod and make sure you shoot a bit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wider because when you stack all those photos and align them, you will</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have to trim down the mismatched edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set your camera to a 2-sec. delay or you can use a remote trigger</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to avoid camera movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Read your camera manual to learn how to put your camera into LIVE view.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a new learning experience for me as I have </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
never used the live view feature on my camera before and I love it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for this kind of close-up work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While your camera is in live view, you can toggle the focus point around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use auto focus!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See the little square? That's your focal point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a photo with that focal point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now toggle the focal point just a bit to the right or left...up or down and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take another photo. It's best to overlap the focus points</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a tad for better merging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try not to move your camera, but some movement is likely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Photoshop will auto-align minor movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continue doing this until you have covered all of the subject</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that you want to be in focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
