Summer! Cherries & pools Day 156

Love RAW! I touched reds slightly to get rid of the bluish tint and voila, almost SOOC ;-D



Outtake

Electrified Day 155

Monochromatic sunsets portraiture with flash. Suggestion from Strobist: strobist.blogspot.com/

Subject here was rather unwilling and exhibited a particular warning behaviour if I stepped too close (for comfort) when I was looking for more powerful POV. Like sticking his tongue out, rolling his eyes, looking tortured... It was funny but had not helped with my learning. OK, it did :-) I learned what he considers too close i.e. rather use a zoom and back off ;-D

I desperately need to go through Strobist blog... & purchase some equipment... ahem, maybe I should hold the horses of excitement, this horsewoman is slightly terrified ;-D Nah. Diffuser for the flash first. Off to Strobist now...



I like him in choc ;-P

Nostalgia gripped me Day 154

This was fun, creating the 35mm film strip negative! PS of course. I lead a fully digital photo existence ;-) Oh, I'm still excited, this is such a neat trick. Completely useless but fun =D

Positive version below, bigger photos as well.

Actually, I didn't really pay attention to photo of the day project so don't expect good photos. I was location hunting and -ups- forgot. These are snaps. Oh, but it was fun, arrangeing them like that. Yipee =D

It's amazing what nature is up to, cyclically Day 153

Summer grassland in sunny wind Day 152

I liked the shadow. And the motion blur bokeh. And I'm looking for more excuses since I'm really hitting bottom with 365 at the moment.

Hate the games people play, much prefer the sports. Cleaner approach. Day 151

Favourite sport in our household - when one excludes swimming.

He was telling me a story Day 150

Probably precious only to me and hubby as is the way with these things. Top two expressions are legendary. Left one is a face he'd pull when unhappy even when he was tiny - we always burst out laughing. Right one you'd see at least twice a day.
