Green Dreamin'

Composite Family Photo
(Canon 1D Mk III, 70-200mm lens)

Green Screen Photograph

Sometimes you just can't be where you really want.

Beth and Drew are normally in Brisbane, Australia where they serve as missionaries. While stateside Beth had Daniel at the young age of 40. Oops!

So now it is time for a new family photo to update all of their supporting churches. The only problem; they wanted something Australian as a backdrop. I'm not going to Australia anytime soon so if they wanted me to take their photograph we were going to have to improvise.

By photographing on a background consisting only of a primary we were able to superimpose their likeness (less the annoying green) onto the backdrop they liked much better.

After a few touch-ups we get a pleasing result less the $2500 expense of flying the photo man to Australia. Of course the baby was goofing off -- guess you can't have everything.
