Not sure what my favorite costume was there where a bunch of good ones. I thought it was cleaer that Louis was with Peter who was dressed as I assumed Peter Pan but maybe I got that wrong. Then the Tower's as pirates was awesome.. It was a great time thanks to everyone who showed up and (e:PMT) for hosting it and changing the night so there was no wedding conflict.
One Of the tough things with having a ton of pictures is you are often not sure where to call it or cut the blog to start part 2 it is tough to tell how many you have up and how it will be viewed by others so for now this is the end of Part 1. Hope someone enjoys the pictures of someone.
Well Part 2 is today. In terms of editing them I wish I had time. In the past I have tried with other software and what happens is some of them come out see able, but often what happens is the stuff with some light gets brighter but so does everything else and often there is just not enough light to enhance that.
Nice party pics as always. We have been dying for their release. So much fun.
(e:mike) and (e:paul) best costume and most naked. not surprised, but i liked it!
I think Oscar the Grouch was one of my favs. Somehow I missed that (e:Mike)'s sun was actually colored yellow - in the foyer it just looked white with glitter! Much cooler in the kitchen.
I liked the Xmas subtheme - (e:enknot), (e:paul), (e:libertad), my random acquaintance Kristen, and extending it some to (e:zobar) and the gladiator.
Thanks for taking pix, (e:Metalpeter)!
If you're using Picasa to export them in an appropriate size for estrip, you can also use it to edit before exporting. By double-clicking on any picture in the library, you open it to the editing screen. That lets you determine if it's a good enough picture, or maybe it needs some help like "fill light" which will lighten up the whole thing, or it's just crap and needs to be deleted. I delete nearly 50 percent of my shots, adjust some, and only post the best ones that really help illustrate the story I'm telling.
The "I'm feeling lucky" button will make a bunch of automatic adjustments that picasa thinks the picture might need. The nice thing about picasa is that it saves your changes and your original photos automatically so you don't lose anything by accident. There's also a very handy "undo" button in case you don't like what you changed.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for taking pics. I really need to get a camera. Mine disappeared at new years and my phone takes sucky pictures in low lighting.
