The other day I posted a couple family photos taken outside at Cracker Barrel. In both, I was the only one wearing sunglasses. The reason is because I took those photos with my iPhone using my Apple watch to “click” and the sun was such that I could see better with them on. I positioned the phone at the level we were seated, and all those photos were decent considering the subjects… but I was wearing sunglasses.
So when a passer-by offered to take a photo, I took my glasses off — but because she was standing up and Mom and I were seated on the outside of the group — our heads were distorted. I looked like an alien and Mom had a bulge on her head that wouldn’t have been worse if she’d just wrested a grizzly.
It’s a common problem. You’ve probably had it happen too, right? A couple clicks within Adobe Lightroom under the “geometry” tab and voila!
Today’s Tip: If you don’t have Lightroom, don’t sit on the outside of a group photo being taken with a phone. Thank me later. 🙂
And one more tip…
Don’t think if you plan to go from one side of Seymour to the other you can accurately predict how long it will take. My 3.9 mile drive home from the restaurant that evening took about 50-minutes. We have trains here. LONG and SLOW ones that block US 50 forever. My brother was almost to Indy before I pulled in my driveway.
TIL (Today I Learned): Dr. John Kellogg who ran the Battle Creek Sanitarium starting in 1876 believed that most ailments resulted from unclean bowels full of toxins from undigested food. To that end, he administered enemas with a device capable of running fifteen gallons of water through a patient’s bowel in seconds. **Pretty sure my Mom will appreciate this one.**
