[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 253714, member: 12257"] Day 24 - L'amour Are the photos cliche? Yes. Is the sentiment? No. Spent the evening with my love of some 22+ years tonight, enjoyed a mess of cajun cuisine, shared some laughs, and worked these photos in really quick like at the end of the evening. Basically, I was just dabbling with ring placement, getting the right words to be legible etc. on a smaller Bible I had around the house. These were shot with the nifty fifty and heavily cropped, but I could probably get a lot closer with the 18-55 kit lens, as it would cut about .6 feet off of the minimal focal distance. The 2nd shot, I actually messed a bit with a tilt-shift blur and kind of overdid it a bit, but I was just testing the range of that type of editing. I like 1 a bit more than 2, but the 3rd is the one I like of this series.
