What is True Love?

“True Love” is this week’s theme for Project 52 over at Life with My 3 Boybarians.  I have to admit, I wanted to cheat this week and try to stretch it to fit one of my technically better shots.  I wanted to use a shot that I thought was one of my best and try to work the theme (stretch it until it practically broke) into it.

But the other day I thought of a pose.  A very common husband and wife pose that I knew would relate to many.
 

True love is letting your wife put her cold feet on you.  And warming them up for her.

Not to mention posing for a photo so she can keep up with her project 52.  {I love you, Honey}

Here is the stuff I would want to know, so I am sharing with you.  If you don’t care about the technical stuff, feel free to just stop reading now.  I will totally understand.  ;)

• I cloned out part of my window because it was very distracting in the frame.
• I did clean edits in ACR, but also added color haze layers in a soft pink shade and pale blue.  Both at 4% opacity.
• I then added Paint the Moon’s free texture Time Worn (the soft version) in multiply mode at 60% opacity. 
• I did a layer mask of the texture over me and my husband with a density of 70%.

This was shot with my Canon 50mm 1.8 (most everything I shoot is shot with this lens) and my speedlite (a Yongnuo YN560) used as a bounce flash off of my ceiling.  I took this at 9:30 pm so lighting was a big issue.  My aperture was 2.5, my shutter speed was 1/250, and my ISO 100.  Custom white balance, as usual. And I used my wireless shutter release.

If I left anything that you may be interested in knowing, please email me.  Does anyone really want to know this information or am I the only dork that likes it when people include it?  Be honest.
