Wanda02_06_05.jpg

Today is of course Super Bowl Sunday. We thought we had better do a football related photo. I just had Wanda toss the ball in the air a little. It took us sixteen frames to get it just right.

This was an interesting image to pose for. I learned I could actually smile while trying to concentrate on tossing the ball just right. Not too high, not too low and to get the laces on the right side took a bit of practice! All in all, I was quite pleased with Myself on this one because I actually did it! (laffin)

We thought about using a real mans tool "duct tape" and a string and a little bit of clone tool work; but, some how that seems like cheating.

(Sigh) Wanda! Sixteen tries? Hint for NEXT year, ... suspend the football from the ceiling with a single black thread. It will be invisible in the photo and it will only take ONE shot to get it right. Of course, that will spoil Bill's fun of watching his wife tossing the ball up in the air over and over and over and over and over and, ... okay, nevermind. Forget my hint. Bill's idea was better! That would have been fun! LOL!

Lingerie Bowl Anyone? (Grin)

This was a fun picture to pose for and it was quick too! Got the right shot in less than 5 minutes!
