I’m sorry for anyone out there visiting my blog that I haven’t been updating my blog consistently. I appreciate you visiting along anyway, I do. The thing is that I am lazy, I do admit. Instead focusing my total concentration on what I love, which is imaging (photography, animation and movies) I focus it else where. I guess it has to do with character and will…
However these days I have started to realise my potential and recognise that if you want to achieve something, you have to constantly practice and evolve every day. Which I find hard to do, my mind gets very easily tired of doing just one thing and easily attracted to playing computer games, or watching random videos or movies over the internet. And that wastes my time so much that I don’t even realise it, and then I hate myself for having achieved nothing… Something quite common these days for people I have seen… The answer I guess is just to keep doing what I have to do – keep photographing, which improves my approach after each session, keep drawing and noting ideas down about animation and movies.
I promise that I will do better than what I do now!
So here are a few recent images I took, using my filters, which help give that professional look of the photo so much which I didn’t realise up to now. Enjoy!
I will start off with this image of our back garden. Here I used a Graduate Neutral Density 2 filter for the sky,
it was a really bright sunny day. Also I used a circular polariser filter,
which got rid of all the light reflections in the leaves and grass,
and also it kind of gets rid of a lot of that nasty white ultra-violet light.
Ahh, the “Peaceful sunset”. That’s how I named this one. Here I used my Graduate Neutral Density 2 (GND 2) filter again,
as well as my circular polariser filter. I knew that the polariser usually works for reflections,
so this time I decided to use it for any reflections from the waters.
It turned out that the polariser kind of enhanced the blues in the sky and waters
and also changed the colour range to more stunning colours.
“The red window”
This image I took on my way home after taking the image above (The peaceful sunset). I was instantly struck by it.
The old stone house, the twilight and the vivid red coloured window reminded me subconsciously of a scene from a horror movie.
Maybe it needs a bit more contrast, or darkening the edges or something like that in order to keep focus on the window.
And last but not least I think a nice image for a conclusion of this topic -
my “There is only one way – the way to God” image
(I need to fix the shadows on this one, they are too purple)
