Dirty Hair Brush

These photos i shared above was taken earlier. I just barely finished my chores and decided to play my camera. So i saw my hair brush laying by the desk beside me. I practiced shooting to get some good angles but i guess no luck, i am not as good as other professional photographers that captures good images in no time, no sweat. I will get there, i know, i just need more time and patience to get the right angle i would like to hit. So for now since i am not as you call others "EXPERT" yet, this is the only i can share with you.

Stolen Shot

This photo above was a stolen shot by my husband. I just barely had my shower and rested by the floor in our bedroom and had a conversation with him. I put my camera in our bed because i used it earlier before i had my shower. Hubby hardly touches my camera, he like to take photos but he said that he's rather not to mess up the settings of it so i won't get upset. He is a very good husband, i love him more for thinking of me so much, he cares about me so much.

Anyway, as i was just brushing my hair through my fingers, i did not know that he was on top of our bed and ready to push the shutter button of my camera. He told me to look at the mirror, so i did. As you can see, i was brushing my hair but it looks like i was pulling my hair (as what my younger brother thought i did). Never thought hubby could take such a good portrait like what he just did. I so love the result, it looks so calm and expressive image!

Photography Can Be Frustrating Or Can Be Exciting

There were a lot of times that i get frustrated in Photography and there were times that it makes me excited as well. Frustrating whenever i see impressive and very excellent images taken by other photographers using not as latest as my camera. While i have a very nice camera but are not able to take those very stunning shots. I know i am just barely embracing this hobby and i am already comparing myself to those photographers that's been taking photos for years and years. I am not envy though, for i know i will learn eventually what they have been doing, in perfect time i will, i just need more time. Tweaking the settings of the camera, as what the speaker in the class i attended before said that, it's just all about skills.

Some photographers likes to enhance their photographs using photoshop. I myself is one lazy person when it comes to editing images. For i am so dumb doing all that kind of stuff plus i have no patience doing it. I only put watermarks on my photos but no more enhancement beyond that. My photographs are almost straight out of camera shots, no enhancements or whatsoever. I admire those photographs that are enhanced but i am more impressed of the Straight out of camera images.

This image below was taken not too long ago. I was practicing tweaking the settings of my camera and learned a little more about it. I am just glad that there are some photographers that are kind enough to share their knowledge about photography. Thanks to youtube too, they were able to upload their tutorials, from basic to advanced... So here's what i came up after practicing for a little bit. Looks like my potato is scared in this photo, but no, he just barely got up from an afternoon nap and wanted me to pick him up. I was doing something else and because he is a bossy baby, he cried and screamed and did not stop until i finally picked him up.

Addition To My Wish List

Hubby asked me yesterday how is my laptop going. I told him honestly that my computer is almost giving up because of my little potato. Whenever he gets the chance to grab my computer, he messes it up and it makes its condition even worse. It still works though, it's just don't work like it used to anymore.

Anyway, aside from computer, i also am wishing that i will be able to get another lens for my camera. I want the basic one that is great for portrait and for travel. A friend of mine told me that i should get the 50 mm lens for it is just perfect for what i want. I have two lenses already, but i want the daily kind lens and this one below is what exactly i am looking for. It's not that expensive that's why i am planning to get this next month as Christmas present for myself, i will save my little income from blogging. I guess time to buy for a remembrance again from my own savings eh? lol!

Memorable Place For Us

This is the place where my uncle took us with my ex-fiance' who is now my husband. That was over 6 years ago when i first met him, he went to Philippines just to see me and get to know more about me. I never knew that he already brought an engagement ring to propose a marriage to me. This place is a very memorable one, we had our misunderstandings and reconciliation afterwards. A lot of things that plays in my mind every time i see this picture. So, when we last visited this place, i took the chance to take a picture of it for i don't have a remembrance when we were there first time.

This is Dumaluan Beach resort by the way, located in Visayas part of Philippines, Panglao Bohol, middle south. A very beautiful beach resort that you won't regret visiting it. The white fine sand is just so inviting for the tourist to enjoy it. Even if you don't know how to swim or you are not a fan of beach, i tell you, once you see this beach, you will fall in love right away and would love to stay as long as you want (during your vacation). I told hubby that when we go back to Philippines sometime, we will go back there again and enjoy what the beautiful nature can offer.

Pine Tree Fruit Or Is It?

Whenever winter comes, i really can't go outside that much for it is too cold for me to stay outside. So that only means that i cannot take pictures as much as i would like to due to the cold temperature outside. But the bush outside in our backyard caught my attention this time, i never did pay attention to this bush not until i got my camera and was looking for something to take photos. For me, it looks like fruits of a pine tree, or is it?

Halloween Costumes

When we got to the park where the early trick or treating was being held, they were already starting. The costume contest was starting, in fact they were calling the winners already. My family and i sat down behind the crowd and this is what i saw in front of me, a clown and a military kid. I was gonna asked them to turn so i can take a picture of them but i decided not to ask instead because i don't know these kids, the parents might be unhappy if they see me taking pictures of their kids without asking permission from them. So i settled with this picture, it's cute though that i still can tell what are they, so obvious though, a clown and a military kid lol!

I Heart These Two!

I must admit that i am getting hooked up in my Photography hobby. I cannot stop myself anymore, i love to keep on clicking the buttons and experimenting on my photographs. I've got two lenses already, one is 18-200 mm and the other one is prime macro lens 60 mm. Hubby was gonna get the 105 macro lens but then he told me that since i am just starting with my hobby, he might as well get me the small one first, then he will get the big one later on.

I have been browsing the store where hubby bought my camera and found some good lenses that it got me interested to get. I guess this time, i have to save my own money so i can purchase them. I am already imagining and getting so excited for these two lenses i have been eyeing. I love the both lens because it has different features on how it works. The other one is wide angle and the other one focuses just mainly the subject you wanted to shoot. Oh lenses, you are making me crazy, lol! In time soon, you two will be mine, haha (evil laugh)!

Floating Flower

This is one of my favorite as my macro photograph. One of my fellow blogger and a friend in flickr account made a new group called "SOOC SUNDAY" which i believe it is not active anymore (i hope it will get active again), and this was my third entry if i am not mistaken. It's all about flower i think and this is what i came up to. I was so happy that some of my fellow flickr friends liked this perspective, a floating flower on the orange water (i dropped some food coloring in it).

Black And White Photographs

I have never done Black and White Photography before. But since someone showed me a link that is all about photography and saw all the beautiful black and white photographs they have in there, it made me think that black and white photography is not bad at all. So i tried some of my photographs of my little one using the photoshop editor. I was all surprised with the outcome, it's not so bad at all, in fact, there are some photos of his that it's much better than black white rather than colored. Take a look at these shots i had in colored before but i made it into black and white. For me, they are just beautiful, especially it is my son who's in the photographs, lol! So tell me honestly, do you see what i see too? I hope so.
