King Kong vs. Godzilla
October 21st – We’ve gotten a few inquiries into whether or not we’ve been photoshopping Charlie into these photos, and the answer is no. As photographers, we pride ourselves in finding locations and framing beautiful photos without having to resort to photo manipulation. Up until now, we’ve only done minor color correcting. Today’s photos, however, would have been impossible without either having twins or creating a composite of two shots in PhotoShop. We traveled to Liberty State Park in Jersey City so that we could get a close-up of the skyline. I put the camera on a tripod and Caroline snapped away while I held Charlie in the air first as King Kong, and then as Godzilla. When we got home, I loaded both photos into PhotoShop, aligned the colors so that they would match despite slight changes in the brightness of the sky, and combined the two. The result could be the poster for a monster movie. I hope you enjoy today’s two-for-one special!
