This picture is straight out of my camera, no Photoshopping at all. Visit here and see technique #2 for an idea how I got the shot.

This isn’t the best example of the technique, but it’s a start. It would work better with more ambient light, but I didn’t get the idea to try the technique until 9:30 at night.  However, it is Veronica’s ass, so how bad could it be?
Maybe I’ll show her the technique and we’ll try it for my HNT this week

=====================================================================

There’s no Swing Shift column this week.  We didn’t have any inspiration, no one has suggested anything, and even if there was something to write about, we had family here all weekend and wouldn’t have had the chance to write a post!  I think Swing Shift might be coming to an end, or at least become less frequent.  We feel like we’ve covered a lot and don’t want to become repetitive.  How interesting would that be?  But feel free to browse the Swing Shift archives page (look at the upper left corner of this screen), check out the older posts, and suggest something if you’re feeling inspired!

I added a widget that should make my blog easier to navigate and to read on smartphones.  From feedback I received on Twitter yesterday it seems to work fine on a variety of mobile browsers, but if there are any problems please let me know.

I’ve got several blog posts percolating in my head, but also have a TON of real work weighing on me.  The next 2 months are going to be crazy and maintaining a healthy work/family life/other misc things balance is going to be challenging.  Wish me luck!

Happy Monday!!
