Smash Cake

TTGator · 7th of September 2008 (Sun)

My son just turned one last weekend, so I had to do the obligatory smash cake

caredock · 7th of September 2008 (Sun)

hahaha...I love this. Great series!

AndreaBFS · 7th of September 2008 (Sun)

Awww... this is so sweet! I wish I had been able to do this with my kids!

stinky · 7th of September 2008 (Sun)

++1 to being able to do this with my kids at this age.

Good job and keep snapping pics of them at this age... they don't complain as much and love the attention.

Hah! That's a great series!

Cdeming · 7th of September 2008 (Sun)

Looks like he had a great time!!! Great capture!

oh my LOL, nice job! only thing: the shots on the right seem a little closer together than on the left, gives the series a cramped feel down that end. and number 3 his head seems to have suddenly expanded in size... breaks continuity a little

but on the whole these are quite successful and hes obviously having a great time

Awesome series. Gotta love the 1st cake expirience. My daughter had cupcake in her hair for days!!! Good stuff!

Thanks for pointing that out... I knew about the enlarged head, that's because he started crawling towards the camera. I should try to resize it down a little to try to get it to fit better visually. Maybe I'll try to slide some of them to the left a little as well. Going to be putting this on a 10x30 canvas.

Hahaha I love this, this is fantastic

TTGator · 18th of September 2008 (Thu)

Thanks. The new version (with the 3rd image resized a bit smaller and some of them shifted over to the left a little, as suggested by somethingsimple) is on the truck to be delivered today on canvas

I love this! Great emotions, I would be proud to have accomplished this.

James P · 18th of September 2008 (Thu)

I love the concept of this. Great work!

was it done in a studio with a white background or did you remove everything during PP??
