Ah bummer. Markie beat me to posting pictures first. :) I'm so envious of people who do weddings. What I would love to do is just tag along and do someone's wedding but NOT be the main photographer. That way there would be no pressure, but I could learn what to do.
Here are two pictures practicing DOF. I think I was able to get his lead eye in focus. Is this what you were talking about Erin? (ignore the evil looking tiny windows in his eyes) :)
Erin, I think I might have teased you about getting "bright eyes" when taking pictures at the family reunion. When I took over your camera for a while you told me to be sure and get bright eyes, and I laughed. I just thought I'd mention that because it was making me chuckle just now. (tee-hee-hee!) It is such a funny concept but it really does make the picture look so much better! I now have the bug and find myself looking for window reflections in everyone's eyes. :)
This one of Kendal doesn't have very much reflection in her eyes, but I thought the lighting was nice.
This picture of Kayla has nice big windows, but I feel like her eyes aren't very much in focus, even after using your REB Sharpen action. But still a nice picture I think.
And here is one of Kaiden:
Kayla is by far our most cooperative picture taker. So here are a few more pictures I took of her. I have tried doing different angles but probably could have been a little more creative.
And here are two pictures I liked used your orton tech action. I just love how it makes everything a pretty blur except for her eyes which are perfectly in focus. For what occasion would you usually use this action?
Sorry that was a bazillion pictures. This is just so much fun! Let me know what I can improve on.
I'm ready for more assignments!

So where are the assignments? I would like to learn DOF.
Just right below your wedding post. She has the assignment in bold lettering. The post is called something like "Depth of Field" and "bright eyes" or something like that.
I am going to tranfer the lessons to a different site. We will keep posting here or at the Cameron blog.
The eyes look great Debbie. They are what we are looking for. The one eye of Kendal's is a little dark, but that is where you use the dodge tool.
I do notice that you like to put the lead eye in the center of your picture. You have got the DOF thing down, next we will work on "The Rule of Thirds".
That one of Kayla looking out the window is my favorite! :)
