The design we finally decided on....

i was wanting a different look other than the typical family portrait christmas card...

what do u think

Awesome!!!

It's perfect. Very original!

It seems that a lot of people are doing that recently, somewhere in this forum is a similar pic. That gives me an idea -- try to eliminate the camera, possibly with a tripod, remote shutter, and a dark background.

yeah i tried that... VERY tough!

after about 30 minutes of messing with it i decided on this one. in fact this one was otugh b/c of the 100mm lens. any little movement and the ball would be mostly out of the frame! took about 10 shots or so to get this one how it is... hehe

i got the caption from another member here , he recommended it in another thread i made a couple of weeks ago..

this was the pic i first took that got me interested in the idea...

perfect. good job!

Amazing. What a nice composition. Good job!

Excellent!
 

Very creative, you better market it before Hallmark does!

that is fucking awesome. here is how i would have eliminated the camera. with a tripod, you could have positioned it a little to the right (your left, right if youre looking at the picture) it would have been partially behidn the tree, but most of it would be in that dark goldenrod-ish part of the wall. that is very solid colored, and could very successfully be photoshopped out.

That's way cool.

thanks...

we're gonna try it again tonight... it was about 10pm when we took that one and after trying to get my original idea to work we were pretty frustrated.. hehe...

i think i can talk her into making a new photo tonight... ill post it here if they come out ok. :)

That's a great shot. :thumbsup:

i knew you'd turn it into something nice.........great card.


when should i expect mine?...........j/k

It's beautiful...

That's way nifty. Nice job! :)

abel, is that bright spot on the ceiling a bounce flash or the hanging light fixture?

thanks guys!!! that hot spot on the ceiling is from the bounce flash... thats the only way i could light us up properly and not get a glare on the ornament...

that is so great...now my pic seems crappy

thanks... i think the friends and family will get a kick out of it since they are prolly used to seeing me with a camera in my hand

Very nice, and very original.

wow, very original concept.. i like it!

i love the originality =)

I like it so much I think I will use your genius for myself next year.

That's great! I love the idea.

Awesome idea!

yeah, that's pretty slick. i like the idea as well. looks professional ;)

very nice idea. i think i want a card sent to me.

wow, you and your reflection photos - i always love them! what an original design. very nice.

thanks guys i appreciate the compliments...

its gonna be tough to come up with something to top that one next year...

Reflecting of off TWO ornaments! Oh, the madness. :lol:

hmmm interesting, may have to work that one out somehow... hehe

Love it, wish I would have thought of it.

wow, that's pretty cool
