This set of two portrait photos were taken in the summer of last year at a local park. The first photo is a black and white portrait of my family seated on a wall of rocks - which looks good IMHO.

The second photo in colour was taken with a polariser attachment to the Nikon D70 kit lens. So the sky in this photo is not photoshopped and is totally natural. I

photoshopped the grass though. The grass was yellowish - but I photoshopped it so it would look more of a goldish hue. If you are aware of the Qantas commercials "I call Australia Home" - yes that was a model that I followed in this photograph. I guess one problem in this set up is depth of field issues as well as the clarity of other family members (!) - due to the distance of the furthest subjects. I guess it can't be helped in this setup - I needed the spread out effect - otherwise it would be just another two dimensional family portrait.

Taken with a Nikon D70 camera with kit lens.
