January 2nd: I’ll be back
2nd January 2008
Maya watches from The Grooming Spa. With Dawn in Calgary, The Grooming Spa provided day care for Maya while I was at work.
This one had potential but I didn’t spend enough time framing it (and Maya probably wouldn’t have held that pose much longer anyway).
Shooting and processing notes
Another shot with the 17-40 F4.0 L. Again at 17mm and f4. It was dark that morning so this is ISO 800. I didn’t get down low enough or make myself parallel to the plane of the windows so the verticals and horizontals that are so important to this picture were out of whack. I used Photoshop’s lens distortion filter to straighten things out but I didn’t do a great job. Not only does Maya end up looking short and squat, the door on the right is still out of whack. I like the transform tools much better for this kind of thing.
