Hi to everyone....I apologize for being so absent at this site, but I do intend to make that up and start spending more time here. I love to critique and pick apart work,...and likewise I love having my work critiqued and picked apart. It seems to be the best way of learning I have found yet!
I went to a horrible wedding shoot, which was done outside at a farm. The weather was beautiful, unless of course you are a photographer! They insisted on using an old fence with decorated wagon wheels as the backdrop. They wanted both their horses included as well. It was nearly 90 degrees, with not one cloud to be seen, and they insisted we do their pictures at 1pm. Talk about a night mare!!!! There were three little children who were the ring bearers and the flower girl. Two brothers and a sister, aged 3,6, and 8. Because they were dressed up so cute, I decided to salvage something from this job, and went to work on a 'personalized photographic montage'. [We just made that name up, but it seems to fit.]
Please by all means, pick it to pieces!!! I have added the link as it is quite large, and posting it here would be pointless. Even this link though is a small version of the original, but hey, server space is expensive, and I try to spare those looking from long downloads if they have small modems.
Everything in this piece except the sky pieces, the shadowbox itself, and the sign, came from the pictures at the western wedding shoot. I made the sign from scratch, pulled the sky from another photo, [as there was NO clouds that day to be seen!] and used a shadowbox I had painted a few years ago as a craft project for the base.
Can't wait to hear to hear from some of you, and by the way,...I caught the shadow on the boys together being opposite, and as soon as I can find my original mix I will fix it. Just a heads up. The kids, the milk cans, pails, bales of hay, the laterns and even the grass are all from the original shoot. Hope you are all honest and honestly, I hope you all like it.
