totally random

I've been bustling all morning - and as I just sat down with my afternoon coffee (I've gotten into the habit of making another pot about this time of day) (so much for quitting) I took another glance at last Saturday's wedding photos - and this one jumped out at me

(click to see it bigger)

I love pictures of daddies holding their munchkins.  This picture was shot straight into the sun - but it was one of those moments that I had to catch it as is and quick, or risk not catching it at all.  My preference is to catch moments that are happening rather than setting up moments to catch. 

So I took it, knowing it might not turn out. And -  if I didn't have any photo shop to rely on, it might not have - for here is the original, straight out of the camera version...

I don't know the exact steps I did to salvage it - I just tend to move things around until I like the look

I like the look

I think it looks great I think the light sets a mood you can't capture with planned photos.. a realism
