Dream Camera

I love taking pictures. Every occasion and events I always love to take that special moments with me through photograps. In my entire life I owned 4 cameras. Two is from Minolta and 2 from Canon. The two Minolta's where given from my mom but I don't have it anymore. It's those film camera used back then. The first camera I bought was Canon Sureshot WP-1. I was so happy to buy this camera back then. Though it was quite bulky, the features of this one made me happy that time. You can't imagine how many photos I took with this one. Also the compilation of Albums I had which somehow was destroyed when I checked back the last time I visit home in the PI.
The second canon I have is the one I got as a wedding present. It's a Canon SD400 5mp. This time not a film but digital. No worries on film just to worry on the batteries life and the number of shots per SD. I remembered the moment I grabbed it in my hand. I was in the kitchen with my dad-in-law looking at the beautiful bouquet I have where I got no pictures of it. We were talking that time to have them keep it or preserved it for me I should say. Then hubby all of a sudden gave me a bag of box. He surprised me with this gift. I was so happy and I took pictures of the bouquet that I left that day in my in-laws house.


This 3rd picture is not a Canon but one of the products from Nikon. I have heard so many good reviews with this. It's a Nikon D80. Many amateur and starting photographers are using this. My wedding photographer in Cebu used this camera and the quality of pictures he took it at the occasion was so beautiful. That is the time where I am loving to get this. Maybe someday, have to save first or if lucky can get this for a gift. LOL!

Free Digital Make Over

We are in the digital world now. Most things are improvised year by year. I would only talk with photos with this post. I love taking pictures. I have a bunch of them that until now I still haven’t printed out. But with the blank cd and dvd, I can just put it all together. At most times when I got the chance, I make my own slideshow and video. The time of creating it makes a whole lot. When I read about Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover, it could be a fantastic way to do it. I hope one day I could get free from their service. I would certainly be able to learn more techniques and make a good quality creation. For the episode that it features on the site, I like Wedding Day Crunch – Meeting the happy couple. I just love wedding day stuff. To those of you who wanted to be feature on the site, it is your chance to win prizes. Join now and just like you I am crossing my fingers to win the contest.

My own Photo Collection

I haven't been progressing on learning about photo editing. Days are just hard at times when you mixed it with work and personal chores. From time to time when I have the chance, I make one something out from an ordinary picture with just a 5mp canon digital cam. I am hoping to get a better more powerful camera. I can buy it if I need to but for now there's no need for it. I will just have to stick on what I have. Besides, it is still functional and works fine. If in case, I could be needing one I am hoping for a higher mp like 10mp or more perhaps. I wish to find a better means of saving just for that alone. It is not because I don't have savings but I don't want to spend what I have now just for an extra pleasure. I rather want to spend when I don't worry about where the money goes. For now I am still counting of loosing it not having the pleasure to buy it. So I have to deal first with the old cam. I hope there will be one day when I can get what I really wanted.

Here are the photos I made this past few months:

I made to create my own background. It is quite hard to imagine certain backgrounds that you have in mind. But I just go with the flow when I make mine. So far I am liking the simplicity and cleanliness of my creation. I don't know if you could agree with me but this is just how I feel. LOL!

Wireless Mouse

I crack myself smiling from using the little wireless mouse I have. I’ve been using the laptop for 6 months. I never bother to use the mouse but one time I went to Fry’s electronics with hubby. I saw this tiny little thing I wanted to have it and so we bought it. I tried it once. I didn’t use it again for I don't feel like the hang of it. Now that I am using so much of my time learning to edit pictures using Photoshop, the keys are too painful it kills my time and precision. So today I am using the wireless mouse and it is so funny because I keep on forgetting that I have the mouse plugged in. I would still use my keys that I get a hard time finishing what I am trying to work on. I noticed how big the difference is by not using the mouse over using the keys. Working to edit pictures is much faster.

Creation

I am obsessed of knowing how to edit pictures. This had happened 2 years ago during the time of my wedding in New Jersey. I had all my original pictures and I am not so happy with the outcome. The photographer did his best to get all the photos he can get. I was happy with his attitude it's just the result that I am not happy about. It costs a lot of money too if I wanted them to make a college and edit my pictures. It geared me toward knowing how to enhance my wedding pictures. I had also the time in the world for I have no job, kind of lonely at home, no friends to hang out with, just me alone and myself. When I started learning, it became my hobby and until now that obsession keeps on.

Here is the photo collage I created for my friends. Just starting to learn some new techniques. I am a beginner and will keep on learning.

Digital Obsession

For weeks now, my mind is thinking about how to make a cool banner. I read so many tutorial online but not the kind of tutorial that I really want. It is because I am just a starter of knowing its technical stuff that hearing all the terms was overwhelming. I am still at the moment of confusion to the terms, functions and I don't know yet the technique. I already have a set of banner I wanted to create but when I tried to make one, it doesn't let me do it. I only accomplished making so far was the gif. I learned some parts of animation but just the very basic.

My readings is not enough and I need something like perhaps a book that could teach me from the very basic to complex examples. The sample tutorial online is just like a teaser to me. There are more things to learn and navigate. I hope one day I could get my goal straight up and can learn great things out from it.
