| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
My son, Patrick, receiving his PhD in Comparative Immunology from the University of Alberta at Edmonton.
For Patrick this was the culminating moment of ten years of study. For his family, it was a moment of overwhelming pride. Pat is now at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, NM, where he will be doing post-Doctoral work for the next two years, after which he looks forward to a career in research.
This image is not the best quality, but it was all I could get given the distance from the stage, and limited flash. PPing included minimum cropping, adjustment of gamma levels, moderate colour correction, noise reduction and framing. |

Peter,
I can appreciate the difficulty in this shot having photographed my son graduating from SIUE engineering program this summer. The lights usually aren't conducive to photography and it's from a distance. (about 2,000 attended this one, not including the graduates)
I do think that marking the date with a photograph is important here. Very much worth the hard work and I bet the family is very proud like mine. Not so sure about the frame, are those his school colors?
Scott
