92/65th

ivar

I visited my grandparents. Today's reason: their 65th anniversary :lust :barb

I took only a few shots, and most didn't work out the way I wanted to. I did like this one of my grandfather. He's 92 years old, here sitting in their living room, listening to one of the aldermen who came to visit and congratulate them:

What an incredible accomplishment. I think it was my parents 45th last month.

He's still got a lot of hair for 92. Looks good!

A great portrait, Ivar!!

You can tell in this photo that he's sharp as a tack, attentive. I love his expression because it is very involved and animated. That bodes well for the genes in your family!.

I like your processing, too, whatever you did to this.

He's a sharp dresser too.

Thanks for the comments, guys

Schmoo, the processing was done in LR. I used the 'direct positive' preset and a little bit of custom stuff. It seemed to work well for this shot.

92 years old, their 65th anniversary...that's lovely.

Myself, I enjoy listening to the elderly speak of their life's accomplishments and adventures; as time passes the story become more romantic and intriguing.

My folks are up to about their 62nd. I organized their 50th, and saved a manila folder with all the paperwork, and was able to retrieve the folder to make the 60th easier to organize. The biggest difference was no email addy's for their 50th Of course I've put the file away in the hopes I will need it again, and maybe again...

Those are some vibrant colors there -- are they really that bright or is that part of the preset you mention?

Thanks for the comments, guys. He does indeed have a million stories to tell, Hamster. He has led a very interesting life.

The preset does punch up the colors a tad. The jacket was affected the most, i think, it was a bit darker and more purple. The differences are not huge, though
