Inge Thinks...

Since I finished school really early today I had some spare time while the sun was still shining. The weather was absolutely great, spring, sunshine, warm – perfect. So I grabbed my camera and ventured outside for a bit. I again shot everything in the Aperture mode (no more automatic!), auto focused and picked my own ISO. I experimented with higher ISO’s too and this gave a real dreamy effect, you’ll see more of that soon.

This one’s SOOC, straight out of the camera:

The result of some Photoshop was this:

Hate the picture but ehmm, it’s about the glasses:

Yet my prayers do not seem to help, so I decided to do something about it myself. I got my supermarket-flowers and a desk light and created my own spring scene. Results:

I’m loving the 50mm! <3

These are the photos that I took for a schoolproject, for which I picked five different cultures. I picked Egypt, China, Russia, America en Brazil. I ended up loving Brazil the most, so:

For the full experience, you have to view it large and on black. Afterwards, the paint had to be washed away, hihi:

Some of the first shots, nothing special – just to show the magic (:

‘t Was all snowy outside again this morning so I decided that, round noon, I could have a break from my continuous work on my final thesis. And since it was all snowy and my hair was all crappy I figured I’d be.. well sort of artistic. The result is really not-me, so tell me what you think!

I don’t know about this expression but I loved how it looks so rough. My hair is like the biggest mess everrr yet it looks cool here. I loved this one the best in black and white because it really gives it this.. harsh, almost violent feeling. I love how you can just see the strings of hair flowing, how it’s all not-styled and so on. Cross processed and original below.

And then there’s this. I don’t know what my mouth’s doing here, but I really love the light. I love how it’s extremely lit at the right side while the left side is just dark. But then there are these strings of hair again, where the light just.. flows through. I also think the bits of hair that are too long at the front of my face are good. If they wouldn’t have been there it would just have been another photo. Again, it’s the roughness that I love.

The snow was cold so I went inside, near the glorious window light. These are the result. I did quite a lot of them, with different colouring and such, but in the end I love the natural feeling-one the most. And the black and white.

So what do you think? Should I continue experimenting?

School is about to start and the restlessness has found its way back into my head. The worries are back, worries about schoolwork and my future. It will almost start again. But there’s one day, one day of rest. Sunday. Fill me with Your peace.
