I really need to get them their own water bottle. They always want mine, and they always empty it (mostly down the front of their shirts). At no other time do they drink as much water as when they spy Nana's Very Special Camelbak. Do they make a little peoples' version?
Fabulous shot and yes they do make kids versions. Well they do in Australia so I suppose they do in your part of the world too. Just put Camelbak Kids into Google and you will find plenty of different ones.
Oh wow, three hours does seem a lot. Any chance you can automate the standard stuff with actions with fixed (often with heavy settings) actions on layers and then adjust down with layer properties and/or opacity, blending modes? As I commented on on from yesterday, are the drab colors and tones for choice? Have you tried (high contrast) B&W conversions?
