Games People Play

Just got back from the annual family reunion in Vermont. As always, we play hours of games every night. C+C Welcome.








Can't forget about the outdoor games as well...

The last one is great! The indoor ones seem really warm to me.

Thanks Jan

The indoor lighting in these cabins is very difficult. It is pretty dark, which pretty much one overhead light taking care of the great room. I haven't done any post processing (I usually don't), but maybe I'll try and de-warm them somehow.

I really like your use of DOF in the indoor shots. Yes, they are a bit warmish, but don't remove it all. To me it gives a romantic, "Vermontish", cabin-ish feel........(if ya know what I mean.)

Number 4 is awesome, that expression is priceless!!!! I might try a cooling filter in photoshop to try to take away a little bit of the warmth, but like saurora said, I wouldn't make it too cool or you won't have that warm Vermont cabin sort of feel.

BTW....I absolutely LOVE Vermont, I think it's one of my favorite states and I would love to see some landscape shots if you took any.

Thanks for the comments and compliments. Because the weather was pretty bad the whole week (with the exception of one day), didn't get too many landscape shots. Here are a few from this year:





Here are a few (better ones) from last year:

Eric, i like composition on all of the people shots, but i must agree with the others regarding the color. I would say you'll need to play with White Balance setting to adjust it for the proper exposure, may be higher ISO and EV adjustment might help as well. But there is always Photoshop to the rescue!!! Thanks for sharing, games are always fun!
