make sure it's in focus

we had a photographer come into the office offering his services once and his example photo on his card was fuzzy (pun not intended).

This is the photo I intend to use (feedback welcome and appreciated) -- (link) - Fuzzy Feb 12, 12:25 [flickr] 14
- The lighting is weak and the diagonal of the arm distracts (turn the image upside down and squint, all you'll see is arm and not faces) though the - zeitgeist Feb 12, 13:09 7
  - This is probably the best of the lot (though suffers from two very common amatuer mistakes) - zeitgeist Feb 12, 13:19 [flickr] 1
    - Thanks. The fact that I only understood about 1/3 of your post should probably tell me that I'm not ready to go pro. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 12, 13:28

    - I do agree about the lighting. it looks like a head-on flash. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:32 3
      - Really? I actually bounced it off of the ceiling. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 12, 13:33 2

        I don't know fancy talk for lighting, but when the picture is shrunk, it doesn't look right to me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:36
- I like this - I would do a matte finish. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 12, 12:50
- hmmm, I think I agree with spawn. what else are you considering? -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 12:42 3
  - I think this one might work really well. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 12, 12:46 [flickr] 2
    - Hmm.. I hadn't really considered that one. I assume you see that covering the entire card? My wife prefers this pic -- (link) - Fuzzy Feb 12, 12:54 [flickr] 1
      - I think it's a good picture, but you don't want to put an unsmiling kid on your card. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:26
- Uhm... how big is the card going to be? - Spawn Feb 12, 12:35
That just makes it artsy. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 12:19
