Steve and Rei Gene's Anniversary

On Sunday Sept, 29, Nikki and I went with my brothers family to the Planting Fields Arboretum for a picnic and a hike.  It's always nice to hang out with my brother's family and especially his infant son Liam.  I left the tripod behind and tried taking some handheld shot out in the woods, which made me wish I had my tripod.  I had much more luck with taking some portraits while we were lounging around after lunch.  I had one successful shot, multiple exposures combined in photoshop.  It's a nice photo of a field, and while it's not that exciting it a good test one using HDR with out the signature look of HDR.  You will have to let me know what you think.




This is my favorite from the day.  He was shadowed by his father, so the light was even on his face.  However, I was in the sunshine which reflected in his eyes.  I knew even on the camera's LCD that he was staring right at me and I was reflected in his eyes.  You can see me laying on the ground with my bright orange shirt.



In the photo below I used red eye reduction to remove the unnatural orange highlight.
