Oh pumpkins… how fun!

It’s Halloween again… well, almost.
Last night I carved a pumpkin for the first time in a few years. Last year I spent Halloween at Disneyland, ironically enough, with Karen when she came to California to visit.

And in photo-related news… check this out.

I received a phone call today from Ray about his wedding that I photographed three weeks ago. They had a question about some of the images. See, we did some just-after-sunset photos of him and his new bride. And they were curious if I photoshopped the clouds.
I told him I definitely did not photoshop anything in any of the images. I simply color balanced and toned image for proper color and exposure. So, take a look at what they saw immediately in their wedding images…


See it in the clouds?

Now I would love to say that I’m “that good” and saw the clouds before composing this series of photographs… but honestly I was more concerned with my exposures as I was rapidly losing light for my shots.

I explained it to Ray as “It definitely wasn’t me man… It (your marriage) is just meant to be”.
And with as many signs as they had throughout the day about their union and the passing of their relatives I would take the clouds at this moment of their reception as just that.
