Michelles house!

For this Tuesday's photography group, we all shipped over to Michelles house, where she has some nice garden stuff and such things. We got some soft toys and a baby over there, and here is what I achieved!

Some people would say the word 'CUTE!' when they such images... That is the right word!

BMX shoot with Mattew Tew.

23/November/2010.

My photography group and I met up with one of Rotorua's best BMX bikers, Matt Tew. He is sixteen years old, and already up there with the big sponsors, and racing with the elite adults.

We spent a couple of hours with this legend, being his paparazi.

Here are my best SHOTS!



Jumpin' the gals...



Thank you to Matt for letting us shoot you (Photograph, not with a gun...). You are the MAN!

Walking down the street.

It is amazing how many interesting things there can be down your very own street!

I went for a wee walk down my very own street (The street I live in, I don't own it...) yesterday evening! Sunset is such a nice time to take photos because it brings out the nice warm colors! I love it!

Here are my favorite photos from my 5 minute walk!

Check 'em.



Taken with my 50mm f1.8 lens!
Lovely depth of field! Mmmmm!



Same! The sunset really brings out the wood color,
 making it more orange/brown.





Lately...

AYE! I haven't updated my blog for ages! Anyway!

Over the last couple of weeks I have set myself the challenge of shooting in manual mode ONLY, and editing on Photoshop CS3 (I usually use lightroom 2, but thats too easy!). My challenge has ben going very well and I am digging it hard out!

I have learnt how to make a sequence photo in photoshop as well! I am very stoked about that!

                                                     

( Open selected photos in photoshop, copy and paste them into separate layers, select all the layers then align them [Auto align layers], when they are all aligned, add a black layer mask to the top layer and paint over where your sequence is with a white brush. PAINT THE LAYER MASK, NOT THE ACTUAL LAYER. Move to the next layer down, and to the same... etc. Flatten image and do your effects!)

Chu hurrrr!

I have also created a cool new watermark!

Here are some of my other cool photos I have taken over the last week!



Capturing movement... Again! I love this!



I was helping my photography teacher with her landscape class.

We found this old, abandoned place where people dump their rubbish and probably get stoned and drunk.

Here is an example of the walls! This is my favorite wall.



This is just the cutest child in the world...

Churr!
