January 20, 2012 – A year of portraits – Tina Dillingham and Jax Kinney

This is co-worker and friend, Tina Dillingham and her 7-week-old nephew Jax Kinney during a visit he and his mom paid to Tina at the office Friday afternoon. Tina works in our advertising department at The Messenger and Jax, well, he does what most kids his age do, sleep alot. Just liked the nice moment between aunt and her nephew.

This portrait was created pretty much on the iPhone 4. I shot the picture with the default camera and brought it into the app called PerfectlyClr which is a nice app for sharping up your iPhone images. I then opened the photo up in Photogene and added the border to the print. The photo was then opened in Photoshop CS5 and I used the burn feature to darken around the two of them to help draw the eye to them.

Technical Details:
Camera: iPhone 4
Lens: Built-In Camera lens
Exposure: HDR and the iPhone doesn’t record shutter speed or aperture information
Apps Used: PerfectlyClr, Photogene and Photoshop CS5
