May 31, 2008; Day 29. Once each month, my friends gather for a potluck supper. This month, we gathered in Deerfield at the home of my friend Bob. His house is a converted barn with a two-story tall great room. Along the walls are a myriad of plants and artwork. I'm using the fisheye to get really close to this piece, and I liked that this shot doesn't shout "fisheye" too much. I like that I included the original barn beam, but I wish I had observed the merge with the statue. And yes, I ate too much. My friends really know how to cook! Raw: WB: 2850K Raw: Exposure: +1.5 (hand held) Raw: Fill Light: +20 Raw: Saturation: +20 PS: Rotate: 1 degree CW PS: Crop: Just enough to remove the black bands from the rotation PS: Color Balance: Yellow to Blue +20

This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
