Our nephew, Matthew, is a senior in high school this year and I wanted to try our "portrait studio" technique with him. We went to Tim's sister's house for Thanksgiving so I toted my portable studio with me. Our niece, Hannah, has helped me before with shooting some photos, so while Matthew got ready for his pictures, Hannah sat for me so I could get the lights adjusted properly. We had a small room, so it was hard to get far enough away from the wall to avoid casting shadows. My granddaughter, Lila, also came in to see what was going on, so we tried to get her to sit, which was very difficult. I did get one decent image of her and Hannah looking at a book. As for Matthew's portraits, I could see a big difference when I used the "sharpen-unsharp mask" adjustment. But I think that's a filter which should be used with a light hand, as it's too easy to go overboard with the adjustment.
