What about O magazine? Did O beat me to this concept?

This idea was not consciously inspired by anything I've seen. I just went through the dollar store looking for props and walked out with the above.

Thanks

Very cute, very creative! Yet no one has asked the tough question. Did you do it timed, remote, or were you the third one taking the photos?

Hmmph.. darnit Oprah. I sent these out as Christmas cards but I think they are certainly different enough from the O cover that most people wont immediately think that was the inspiration.

Very cute, very creative! Yet no one has asked the tough question. Did you do it timed, remote, or were you the third one taking the photos?

EOS Utility's interval timer feature with the laptop facing us so we could see the resulting composition. Set it to take a shot every 6 seconds, then we just winged the poses for about 50 frames. This is my girlfriend and I.

Also I'd like to add this is shot with a 30D with the old non-IS 18-55mm kit lens. Shot in the dining room of my tiny 800sqft apartment.

Thanks for the compliments. Feel free to criticize/nitpick, Im here to learn :)

I hadn't even thought of the EOS Utility. Now I've learned something. Thank you! :D (You've made "tiny" look "cozy.")

Merry Christmas to the both of you!

I use EOS Utility a lot when I am testing out new lighting techniques & doing self portraits.

Thanks again & Happy Holidays to all :)

Love the photos, but wouldn't have been more fun if you opened up the gift and saw her? lol Was rhetorical.
