365

Another flashback post. I’ve recently started adding some photos to facebook in an album titled ‘365 flashback’ – just some random images from my failed attempt at project 365. I lasted until mid June. I attempted a portrait of myself everyday… that would sum how my day had gone.. or something.. and then I also tried to take an image of something random from that day, or a memory… just something to look back on. As you can imagine, some of these images are terrible! But anyway, here’s the one I posted today.

28th April 2009 – These trees had lovely flowers, but I was terrified by them because they used to attract so many bees!! I would freak out every time I was near them, so this was incredibly difficult for me to take! :D

Fashion flashback

I’ve been in contact with a few models on model mayhem who are interested in shooting with me. So once I’m back in college and can come up with a few ideas, I’ll definitely be doing something about that. Anyway, on the topic of model mayhem, I noticed I had hardly any photos on my profile page, so I had a wee look around my pictures, and found a few I forgot about!

I did a bit of editing on this one, but I quite like it with the pink background. I really need to start taking more photos, and getting more experience. John was telling us that 50% of our final portfolio’s has to be self motivated work. Oh dear..

HDR Panorama

I’m having a lot of trouble with this project. I just can’t seem to get my head around the idea of HDR. We were told to do it in Photoshop by hand.. as in… don’t use the ‘merge to HDR’ button. :D

I’ve attempted one today, and I’m not sure if its HDR… I’ve tried, but I think I’ll have to look into it a bit more!!

Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow

I quite like the image, but will probably need to reshoot. I’ll use a tripod next time. My camera’s sensor is absolutely filthy, so I had to do a lot of retouching. :( Won’t be able to sort that out until the 19th of April – SAAS day. :D

In other news, I’m still on flickr strike, and it looks like my Easter Sunday roast is going to be super noodles. :(
