Okay, I once said I would post 'Photography Tips' as some of you asked me to do so. Actually I'm not a professional photographer yet, I still have a lot to learn but I will share with you about how I set up and take my photographs. First of all most of my photographs are instinctual, they are simply snapshots but some of them are made from ideas I have. The most important point to get a good picture is lighting so I always try to choose a bright location, very well lighted with natural sun light, therefore when it's cloudy it's a bit hard to get a really good photo. Although they are exceptions; the location helps a lot even if it's cloudy and a good camera is also a plus, even if it is digital or film. I use a digital pentax k100 dsuper is not a bad camera but it's not excelent I broke the flash so I can't take photos at night, because the quality will be a bit poor but still is a nice camera. I need a new camera but I dont know which one I should buy . I also use a slr vivitar v3000 without flash it's also a good camera and it can take nice pictures but only in day light. I also have a fujifilm instax 100, polaroid onestep and a instamatic kodak 233 I'm not using them at the moment cause I have to buy a film roll for each. When I use a digital camera I edit the pictures on 'photoscape' it's a photoshop program which you can download for free ,just google it. I usually just play with contrast, saturation, fade in, tones, colours..!Sometimes I add 'rainbows' and other effects. What I do is simple, I just fade a picture into another, just take a picture of something you want.. flowers, rainbows etc and fade it into the picture you want to edit..! But I guess the main thing to get a good or perfect photograph is by taking a lot of pictures, carrying your camera everywhere you go when you see a good scenery you will be able to get a nice picture. Combining light, model, location you can get a great photograph.

Update



With a cup of coffee in my desk I intend to spend a few hours updating my tumblr which I'm right now posting my photography work. The picture above is how the home page will look like. I also needed to spend some time to clean up my photography folders in my computer and organize loads of photographs, perhaps that means I will stay up late today let's see how long I can keep my eyes open, hopefully tomorrow
is sunday. au revoir

It's 01:22 now and I'm not worried about going to bed late, I think it's because I'm on holiday and I can get up any time I want tomorrow, but I and my sister decided to set up a goal, which is going up to the park every afternoon to run, do abdominal exercises and eat healthy ha ha, I've never done that before so I know it's not going to be easy at the beginning but let's see how it's gonna be, ain't no big deal anyway. We gonna start tomorrow without delay, we promised ourselves. You might think I'm doing this because I want to get thin or super skinny, but it actually because I'm having a sedentary lifestyle and I know it's not good for my health, all of these things are important, it's gonna result in a better life, but I also surely want to get a bit thin ha ha.ANSWERS+QUESTIONS. Here are some answers for the questions I received. How do you see the world? I see it in every different way, it depends on my mood actually, sometimes only see the pretty things and life become so beautiful to me, but sometimes I see only the negative things and then the world looks ugly, but I try to see it in a positive way, because no matter how bad your life is, it's so good to be alive. how do stay fit? do you do
a lot of sports?
I mean you have a great body. Thanks very much although my post it's about it, I don't think I'm fit though. Do you know a photographer Nirri(http://weliveyoung.blogspot.com/)? What do you think about? Who is your favourite photographer? I have never seen this blog before the photos look great though, there's a lot but I'm gonna say Andre Kertesz. Who is your bestfriend and why? my really really bestfriend is my mother and sister the only ones I know I can trust. what are you doing when you are desperate and nothing works as you want it? at first I get mad but then I try to chill out.
