Ahten'hut!



Photo tip:  Impromptu portraits.  Family expectations can put you in less than optimal position to take a picture.  My nephew was back home for Christmas a few years ago from a tour in Iraq.  He brought his Marine dress uniform with him and it made a great opportunity for a photo.  I really wanted a neutral background so I stood him in a garage about 10 feet from the side wall to minimize shadows.  I used the natural light coming in from the garage opening.  The photo on the right is the original.  The one on the left was edited with a free photo editing program using an artist element.  Can't even tell the soldier was barefooted.
