{Photo Project} Day 4: B & W Self – Portrait

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Day 4. I honestly learn something everyday of this photo project and I hope Era also has learned something. Everyday, it challenges me to think of how to make use of my room (hahahaha!). Anyways, I’m going to tell later how or what I have learned tonight. :) I’m not going to be able to put some tutorial for now but I hope one day I can. hehehe!

Here’s my 4th day black and white self-portrait. Looking forward to Era’s entry. I will update this post as soon as I got Era’s link on her entry. ;)

I (paint) photograph self-portraits because I am so often alone,

because I am the person I know best. – Frida Kahlo

Ok, I’m going to give tutorial on how I did for my today’s entry. You don’t need to have those expensive flashes (I’m not a fan of flash :P ) and other expensive equipments for you to have this result. :) I realized it’s a good idea to post some tutorials from time to time, so I won’t tend to forget how I did to get that result. :)

I hope Era won’t mind I do a lot of post processing.. hehehe…

For now while I am still planning how to do the tutorial, let me share an interesting article for you to read. :) It’s all about the truth about manipulating photos, for you to further understand why digital photographers do as such nowadays. Here’s the link All Photos Are Manipulated.

Enjoy! Tomorrow is TGIF. ;)

{Photo Project} Day 3: B & W Self-Portrait

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Hello, hello! It’s the third day of our photo challenge, obviously (*chuckle*).  While browsing at the pictures I took earlier, I was kind of looking forward on what would be Era’s idea on next theme; hahahaha! we’re still on the 3rd day and I’m thinking of next weeks. :P I think it’s good though, I have something to look forward to, than get bored. :P

Here’s my 3rd day photo project.

Now and then it’s good to pause in

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Day 2 for our B & W Self-Portrait photo project. Unfortunately Era, wasn’t able to take her shot yesterday and she promise to post two pictures today. Let’s see! Can’t wait to see her shots.

Here’s mine.

 

EXIF Information:

Camera: Nikon D60 – 18-55mm lens

Exposure Time: 1/125 seconds

ISO: 400

Flash: Fired

Post processed to add more contrast using Photoshop.

LOL to the bath towel in the background, too bad I wasn’t able to get it. I’m kinda tired the whole day and it’s one of the reasons why I didn’t go to the gym. Tsktsk! I’m planning to sleep early tonight that’s why I just went home after work. I tried to keep my energy up for this shot, trying to mimic some energy here, (LOL), just don’t notice my eyes. hehehe..I can’t help..I wish I didn’t tell you..hahaha.!

I hope to have more photo project to come. It keeps my ideas coming out. Hmm..I wonder what will be my shot tomorrow?! (think!!!). 

I’m waiting for Era’s photo project entries. Will be posting the link as soon as she has the pictures ready. ^_^

It’s a tired Tuesday but I’m glad I did made some shutter-button-clicking tonight. Till tomorrow! :)

Aheee! Here’s my friend Era’s post for Day 2 of our Photo Project. Comments or Feedback is greatly appreciated.
