Easter Family Fun (with Multiple Exposures)

Today I went to Easter dinner at my sister's house.



Before dinner we had the Easter Egg hunt for my sister's Nieces & Nephew. I took some shots of their hunt:

Then I wanted to get some formal shots of the kids...





And then I made the family join in for a Family Portrait. It's not often that you can get a nice family portrait like this so I thought they might like to have one.



Then dinner was being served so we all went inside to eat! Here is my Mom and the yummy meatballs & sausage:



Always a commotion in the kitchen. My Mom, Sister and my Aunt:

After dinner it was on to the FUN!!! The kids and I decided to do a little multiple exposure fun...this is what the 4 of us came up with. They are so funny and creative...they had me cracking up with their expressions and acting abilities.

Soooooo Many Jens! Multiple Exposure Fun!

I got out of work early today and I decided I would have fun with multiple exposures. Since the ones I took (to test how this works) back in December were not the best quality lighting I wanted to do some that were good quality and really well thought out.

These are the nutty things I came up with. Now that I've done these I have a lot more ideas in my head for the future.

Tree Trimming with "The Jen's"

Here is one more I forgot about that I just put together tonight. I wish I did more exposures but I wasn't sure how it would come out so I only did 3:

All the Jen's Came Over To Visit At Christmas Time...

...and boy can all of those Jen's really chat it up!



Thanks to Julie for helping me finally figure out how to do this correctly. I've had these multiple photos since December 14th and I never got it right.

I have one more exposure of "me" to stick in here but this took forever and I'm tired and want to go to sleep! I'll add it tomorrow and share the final one with you all...

Added 3/19:

My friend George added hysterical captions to it:

Another Photo Trip Before Dark

Worked on editing photos all day and putting them on my website hosted by Smugmug.

Around 3:30pm I got tired of sitting around the house and I decided to run out to the D&R Canal close to my house to try to shoot some more RAW format multiple exposures to create more HDR photographs in Photomatrix.

Luckily the weather was a little warmer than the past couple days were. I took quite a few images while I was out and I'm going to be working on them tonight and tomorrow. Here are some new ones from today:
