Can you spot the difference?

This photo is one that was taken of my family at Christmas just with the camera on self-timer on a tripod. For a quick family portrait before dinner, it turned out well, but a few (fairly) quick fixes were made before printing it in 8x10 for my family.

Look closely at the following two versions of the same photo. Can you spot the differences?

Leave a comment with the differences that you can see. I’ll post the changes that I made in a new post this coming week.

2009 – What a Year!

2009 was an exciting year for Ryan and I. We’ve both been avid amateur photographers for a long time, but this was the year that we officially started our photography business.

Shoot the Thrill Photography came into existence early in 2009 and we are happy to say that it is steadily growing stronger. We’ve had the pleasure to shoot several family portraits, 2 equestrian shows, a number of road races, and a wedding.

Of course, we didn’t strictly photograph for business, we took some fun photo excursions as well (ie. Toronto Zoo, African Lion Safari)

I am looking forward to everything that 2010 will bring, especially the weddings and portrait sessions that are already booked. I get excited every time I receive an inquiry or talk to someone about photography. I absolutely love taking photos and I know that Ryan does as well.

And what would a photography year in review be without photos?
The following are some of my favourites of photos I’ve taken in 2009.
