Christmas Portrait 2006


[Posted on Flickr by dianaschnuth].

After ten minutes of experimenting on myself, and ten more minutes of throwing a less-than-thrilled husband and cat into the mix, this was the resulting Schnuth Christmas Portrait for 2006. Not quite sure what I think of it, although it is definitely the best of the set. I think it might be an improvement on last year’s photo in some ways, although it’s still way ahead of what I did in the past.

Beth’s Wedding


[Posted on Flickr by dianaschnuth].

Finally got my pics back from Beth’s wedding back in February. I had experimented by loading some black and white film in my Olympus XA… but I forgot my flash. The pictures actually came out extremely well, though — I’ll have to post the rest here shortly.

Update, 5/27/06: I scanned in my negatives and posted them to Flickr. You can now view a slideshow of the ten good photos I took at Beth’s wedding. When I did my post-processing on the photos (i.e. Photoshop adjustments), I purposely left them a little dark, just to keep the ambiance. I was honestly surprised that so many of these came out — I don’t think they would have if I’d been shooting color.
