New at this

Well, this is my first post on this here blog thingy. I just joined the club last monday. This is a picture I took with my OneStep Polaroid camera. I taped the fisheye lens for my camcorder to the front of it and I've yet to take it off because of how satisfied I am with how the pictures come out. Especially when the fisheye isn't flush with the face of the Polaroid's lens, it ends up giving the pictures a vignette look which is cool. And yes, I do have a DSLR camera but I've been having fun with my Polaroid cameras lately.

experimenting

I've been addicted to a website called Flickr. This site has great ideas for pictures, and groups with hints and tips towards making your pictures even better. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is "DONT BE AFRAID OF GETTING CLOSE TO YOUR SUBJECT, STANDING ON A TABLE, OR EVEN LAYING ON THE FLOOR." Getting super close sometimes gives you some really interesting shots.

[Personally, I'm most definitely not a fan of roses but the picture on the left(the yellow rose) inspired me to take a couple of rose shots on my own. Again, i used my mom's roses. This was shot on an overcast day, without the on camera flash nor did i in anyway edit the picture. all i did was get VERY close :) ]

 

[for this picture, I sat in the almost mud of my front yard. My mom loves plants so we have like a jungle. I sat on my bum seriously, not more than 5 cm away from the flower. This added the texture and if you look closely, the dirt/dust particles on the flower. ]

[For this one, i laid flat on my back and shot the thorns of one of our many rose bush things. Being so close allowed me to have the thorns in complete focus and everything in the foreground out of focus]

So get close, lay down, and most of all, don't be afraid to EXPERIMENT!!!!

Picture Portraits

Its Miriam in case you were wondering.
First Author Invite-Isn't that awesome??

Here are some of my pictures that I have done in the last months, I thought it will be a good idea to explain what I was trying to photograph and how i fixed the picture. They all are portraits, I like photographing people. Tell me what you guys think! You can comment on here.

-This I shot agaisn't a white wall or rather a white closet door, my hot bright light was a construction light. I centered it in the person, you can see that in his cheek facing the camera.

I added some effects to this picture, I wasn't looking for something in specific, just messing around. I made it in black and white and added a vignette. The vignette adds the effect of the dark corners around the photograph.

-For this up here its my red wall (favorite wall) and I wanted to blend in the person so she wored a red shirt, this makes her face stands out, I think. I was shooting in AV, although I do not remember how much was the focus provably 4. The effect on it is called cinema scope, it makes it a grain like image, and adds the two dark bars on top.

-This is in the same prop as the other picture, I didn't add much just the vignette.

-This one was outside almost in the middle of the day, which is a very bad idea.

For those that are all natural and don't like to add or take anything away, this is one of them.

Although in this photograph I used the reflector on the sun, on the gold side. I faced towards the sun and angle it on the floor. This brought more color in the grass and kind of like a shine on the pink dress.

-This was done in the garden, obviously. I didn't fix anything. I did use some flash to make the green and white pop. The reason was because the sun was gone and everything looked pale.

*I really can't remember all of the technical stuff, like at what focus. This were taken some time ago. Soo, what do you guys think?

P.S. In case you were wondering where I edited the pictures its a website called Picnik.

Its free and you can make an account, but you could only upload 5 at a time, after that everything else is erased. Its really cool. Here's the link:
