 Hi Everyone:

 Weeks 42 - 47 are new, and you can view them if you like, but Darrel  I got 
 a real giggle out of week 47.  The link below will take you direct to the 
 photo.  Interestingly, this is the result of an idea our eye doctor shared  
 with us during our eye exams.  He thought it would be fun to take portraits 
 of his patients straight and behind the exam instruments.  I immediately said 
 I could do a test since I had my camera on me.  This is the result.

 I rendered the photo using the Old Polar preset in Lightroom and ended up 
 liking it the best.   Clearly the mirror hanging in the background is a bit 
 of a distraction, but using cropping and rendering, I tried to make it part 
 of the picture.

 Next time, I’ll take my tripod, so that I can do a photo of both Darrel and 
 I.  I can wear the more portable eye instrumentation and stand beside 
 darrel—or the other way around.

Nice set. Darrel's shot is a great portrait! And I like the story hidden in 
#42: the boss pigeon has moved the orange cone to let his buddies through, and 
he is just daring you to do something about it.
#43 is a nice enough composition but I wish there was a red top on one of the 
women, or some other splash of color to liven up the scene.

Cheers, Christine

 Christine,
 That's an interesting set and a fine catch at the eye doctors.
 I also smiled to see the Quaker Oats guy in a unique outfit.
 Regards,  Bob S.

 Hi Everyone:
 
 Weeks 42 - 47 are new, and you can view them if you like, but Darrel  I 
 got a real giggle out of week 47.  The link below will take you direct to 
 the photo.  Interestingly, this is the result of an idea our eye doctor 
 shared  with us during our eye exams.  He thought it would be fun to take 
 portraits of his patients straight and behind the exam instruments.  I 
 immediately said I could do a test since I had my camera on me.  This is 
 the result.
 
 I rendered the photo using the Old Polar preset in Lightroom and ended up 
 liking it the best.   Clearly the mirror hanging in the background is a bit 
 of a distraction, but using cropping and rendering, I tried to make it part 
 of the picture.
 
 Next time, I’ll take my tripod, so that I can do a photo of both Darrel and 
 I.  I can wear the more portable eye instrumentation and stand beside 
 darrel—or the other way around.

 Nice set. Darrel's shot is a great portrait! And I like the story hidden in 
 #42: the boss pigeon has moved the orange cone to let his buddies through, 
 and he is just daring you to do something about it.
 #43 is a nice enough composition but I wish there was a red top on one of 
 the women, or some other splash of color to liven up the scene.
