Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on September 30, 2010

This is a special week for the Love Your Shot! | Link-Up, we’ve sprung a theme on you this time! We want you to show us “your favorite faces”. To help us choose the winner…oh yes, I said winner…we’ve asked a couple of photographers to help us out. You may know them well. But you’ll have to click on over to this week’s link-up to find out more. How’s that for leaving you hangin’! ;)

My entry this week is not only my “favorite face” but he is my favorite person, too! This is my husband, Steve. He’s sweet. He’s thoughtful. And he’s a total goof, who never fails to make me laugh (you may remember the fishing photo I posted a few weeks ago, nuff said). But most of all, he’s my world. I love you, Steve!

I shot this photo last night as the sun was going down. Steve and I decided to take advantage of the cooler air, so we went for a walk. Of course, I grabbed my camera. Steve’s getting used to the idea of my camera going everywhere with me, so he didn’t think anything of it. But I had different plans… ;) I needed a photo for our link-up. So, in steps a bit of trickery. You see, for this photo, Steve had no idea the camera was pointed at him…he thought I was shooting the landscape behind him. Well, the cat’s out of the bag now…sorry Steve…

This brings me to my tip this week…never rule out the benefit of a little trickeration from time to time. Because hey, sometimes it just has to be done!

Photo edited in Photoshop, using Photo Veils and Textures from Love that Shot, and Soft & Faded from the Pioneer Woman Action Set I.
