photochop

I was tasked (volunteered) with taking a group photo of all the employees at work. We crammed nearly 100 people into our amphitheater on the 6th floor, I set up two small lights from my video light kit, and snapped away with the D70. Running a 12-24 Tokina zoom as wide as possible, I was at about 1/5th of a second shutter speed. Not optimal, but I got some decent shots. The problem is that two key people couldn't make it. Photoshop to the rescue. At first I was going to pass that off to someone else as I've never considered my self much of a photoshop jockey. But I figured what the heck. I snapped individual photos of the two others in the location they would occupy in the photo, and began to whack away with the magic wand.

End result? People who didn't know who was photoshopped in couldn't guess. Cool. This digital stuff is ok...
