Santa Times Four

My photo-shop Santa project is almost over, and...with many issues...I did the best I could. Some of the problems?

It is a picture of a father and his 3 sons. However, the dad has passed away, and I had a limited amount of old pictures of him. Plus...in almost all of the pictures, he has young children on his lap.

Which leaves the 3 sons. Hmmmm...3 sons and only 1 Santa suit. I shot the son in the middle at his moms house, then he gave the suit to the brother on his right. I returned to moms house, and was able to pose son #2 in just the angles I wanted. Everything peachy, eh? Not quite.

Son #3 lives in Colorado, so they sent the suit out to him, and I sent him my pictures of his 2 brothers (via e-mail) with some suggestions of how I would like him to pose. Everything peachy, eh? Not quite.

He sent me his camera card, and it was so old that my card reader (and 3 photo places) couldn't get the pictures off it. Uh-oh. I then asked him if any of his friends could take his picture, and he couldn't find anybody to do it. Finally, I sent him a small camera, complete with new batteries and an SD card. He took the pictures, and sent me my camera and card back. Everything peachy, eh? Not quite.

When you have 4 people posing, you put them where you want them. But, in taking them one by one, the angles in which you want to "shop" them in...isn't perfect.

 I hope Mom is happy. Her 4 "boys" are back together again.
