New banner for our Blog : Jul-14

One good Sunday afternoon, we decided to make good use of our studio strobe lights to take some formal individual shots for a new blog banner.  While spirit was high, preparation effort was also high.  Lights needed to be setup, backdrop needed to be ironed, clothes needed to be chosen, makeup, hair styling... we took at least 2 hours before everyone was ready for the shootout.  As usual, we had a merry time during the shootout session.  Although our white background cloth was not opaque enough to provide a clean white background, the photos turned out pretty decent.  We even invited our new family member, Tobby, to join us in the shooting and he cooperated perfectly.

After choosing the better shots, it was time for me to practice my photoshop skills again.  I took me a tedious few days to crop the pictures and design the banner, it turned out to be quite satisfactory since everyone was looking at their best at least.
