Hello all!

Today's subject was self portraiture- a subject that I actually do quite a lot. But, instead of the usual 'selfies' I take, I wanted to change things up a little bit and play around with some different angles, lighting and colour. Below is my favorite image taken.

Hello all!

So today's theme was 'lazy' and I must say I relate to this theme a LOT. Why? Because I'm always bumming around on the internet trying to kill time and procrastinate. So I thought it would be fitting to base this photo off my two favorite 'lazy' inducing things: my bed and my laptop.


I attempted to add a sort of grungy black and white effect to these series of photos as I wanted it to look a lot more rough and plain. Honestly, I'm not particularly keen on this set, so I've decided to sit down and highlight the areas in which I can improve. I really like the idea of this, I just don't think I achieved the final image I was going for. I guess I still have a lot of learning to do!
Let me know your thoughts and CC's below- maybe you can help me on my learning curve.

Hello all!

Today is day three of my August Photo Challenge- the theme: hands.
I'll be honest; I didn't really think much on this one. Why? Because I've had a photo on file for a while that I just haven't shared. I've been sitting on the fence with this one, trying to decide if I like it or not.


I took this one with my best friend during an Alice in Wonderland themed shoot (a subject I would LOVE to revisit with some fresh new ideas). This was easily my favorite shoot done so far and, just because I loved it so much, I'll attach some of my favorite photos taken that day below.

Hello all!

I'll be honest; when I got to taking a photo for this subject, I really wasn't sure what to take. After a while of brainstorming I came up with the idea below... Glow-sticks.


How did I get this? I took the cover off a pedestal fan, sticky taped a bunch of glow sticks to the blades and turned it on. Word of warning, if you aren't using really good tape I suggest the keep the fan on low as you may have a few flyaway glow-sticks. Then all you have to do it turn off the lights and slow your shutter speed right down. It took me quite a few goes to get this result- so don't worry if it doesn't quite work for you at first. Play around with some different settings and see what you can come up with!

Before

After Okay; so I know its not ONE picture- but it was pretty hard to try and get both pictures into the one collage without making it look funny.. Background story? I was bored and saw someone do levitation photos on tumblr. Low and behold I tried to have a go at it and this was the finished result. Looking at it now I feel I could have touched up a few things; maybe its time I revisit this idea and expand on it? Whether I get around to it or not, this idea is definitely going back to the drawing board and added to my ever growing list of photography ideas and inspiration.
