Cyndy the Graduate

I took a few portraits of Cyndy in her graduation garb so she can give out a few pix to her parents and the like. The colors on the background are school colors. I created the text, modeled after the background used at the graduation ceremony. Mouse over for the before SOOC shot.

Shot with Pentax K-7 & 50/1.4. Flashes triggered with RF-602's, main flash camera left in softbox, bare fill flash camera right and slightly behind Cyndy. Slight levels adjustment in Photoshop CS3 and added the gradient color (overlay mode with mask) background and text. Crumpled white sheet as backdrop.

Graduation Day

PSU Graduation at the Rose Garden in Portland Oregon. I calculated there to be around 2,300 graduates filling the floor below us. It took them a half an hour just to sit down! We never saw Cyndy at all when they all walked in and we never found her until she was walking up to receive her diploma. Why? Because she was sitting as far away from us as possible (Note the red arrow on the left.)

For the photo geeks, this is a 4 image pano stitched in PS.

"Where's Mommy?" "Over there" We did that a lot and I just pointed to the general down there on the left area. :-)

Here is the lost Cyndy, where we found her, making her way to the podium.

No she found us. :-) It was a happy time for all.

Handing her card off to have her name called. We yelled but she cound not hear us. It was quite noisy out there.

Receiving her diploma....

Showing off her diploma. Good job honey. We are all very proud of you!
