January 1st: Going to miss each other
1st January 2008
Dawn gets ready to go to Calgary to help Rae move into her new condominium. Dawn isn’t the only one who is sad.
She doesn’t like this picture of her but the obvious sadness in her face makes this picture for me.
Shooting and processing notes
I messed around with the saturation, vibrance, and tone controls in Lightroom to get a washed-out look and cropped to a square aspect. I shot this with my 17-40 F4.0 L at 17mm and f4. It’s tempting to say that this would have been better with a lens with a wider aperture (and narrower depth of field) but I like including some of the detail of the village there to anchor this picture to the time of year.
