Overcast
I think this photo is terrible, but it’s the only one I shot today.
Waiting
Day 3 of using a DSLR. Of course, these days aren’t consecutive - I just manage to squeeze in a shot or two when I’m not busy with work, and sometimes when I go out (such as last Friday’s Stormproof gig), I’m loaded down with guitar gear and can’t be bothered to include a big heavy camera as well.
I got one of my little brother waiting outside our church. For what, only he knows.
Alien in the Marsh
Day 2 of learning how to use a DSLR by myself. With the absence of pin lights (like a string of led christmas lights with different points of light) I tried using a candle and a mottled glass bowl so light would refract and break into points. It’s upside down in the background near the feet. I’ll have to try this bokeh effect again in the future, with BOTH pin lights AND transparent glass bowls. The more textures in the glass, the better, it seems!
With the same camera settings and lighting setup, I didn’t want to have to adjust anything in Photoshop, so this picture looks different from the previous post only because I had The Boy stand behind everything holding a black cloth up so light wouldn’t bounce off the white wall. If you edit this photo under Shadow/Highlights, you’d be able to make him out and his I <3 NY shirt!
ps. I fiddled around some more and got the lights to turn blurry and round with enough zooming ( this will probably not work on bigger subjects), in that manner that is so popular on tumblr and weheartit. My model is so pretty.
S’nothing fancy though. Here’s what’s really in the background:
A dead/dying emergency lamp, half of The Boy’s orange LED shoelaces, 3 candles of different sizes, an upside down clear glass bowl, and a portable mirror.
Monster From The Deep
Experimented with bokeh-ing an emergency lamp and a candle in the background, and lighting my favorite subject Mr. Grumpy with a regular desk lamp. Didn’t know if I could make something cool with no pin lights and a kit 18-55mm but hey, I can always say I have no idea what I’m doing cos i’z a n00b!
Here’s my setup:
Photos from tonight’s Stormproof gig, which I just got home from.
Uploading more tomorrow on our facebook page.
Husband took these with a Canon IXUS 130, low light setting (max ISO) = grainy but goody.
I’ve got a gig tonight. Roads blocked off for the Chinese New Year, on the Peace Street Arch.
Working on our EP album art. Pencil work by our multi-talented percussionist Dave.
Still trying to figure out where to place the letters for the album title. BAKIT KASI MAY WORD NA PENDULUM SA TITLE JAD
I inherited a Pentax K20. Yay. I have no idea how to use a DSLR, but I fiddled around with the controls and tested it on my dinner.
Artery-fest: Steamed broccoli with cream cheese, mashed and buttered potatoes, tenderloin breaded pork chops marinated in garlic.
My band’s been busy shooting a music video. <3
Had meetups for my hat customers today but forgot to eat any lunch.
My facebook is private but I made this video public so I could answer hair kweschuns about my hair colors. My hair isn’t this color anymore, though. But, yeah. In this video I go through:
Copper Brown
Red
Raspberry
Red with Pink Fringe
Pink
Purple With Pink Fringe
Blue-purple with cerise fringe (same as above but with a layer of blue over everything)
Blue with Teal Fringe
Right now my hair is teal and blue in front, pale pink (and ginger patches in the back where I couldn’t see and just threw bleach on there randomly) all over the rest of my head.
PLZ UNIVERS DUN MAKE ME GO BALD PLZ

Where do you buy blue hair dye! I really really want blue hair and I’m willing to order online but if it’s sold here then that’d be better! :)
I bought my teal hair dye at an obscure salon supply store, and they said they bought THEIR dyes straight from Japan, so I have no idea how you can get them in manila. my purples and pinks however, are La riche directions (plum and cerise) and you can order them on ebay or on multiply. I bought mine from an ebay seller called punk-in-the-uk.
Hair dream, achieve!!!
All I did was give the back of my head a bleach bath. I love bleach baths now because they lift color but damage less, and I think I will be doing them instead of full on hair bleaching from now on!
Lining up shades of my brown yarn (lol I own a lot of brown -_-) to make a gradient hat.
AH DO LOVE MAH GRADIENTS
psychedelicheroine replied to your photo: My mickey mouse hat in progress. Teehee. All…
is that Ate zie’s wallet product thingy in the background? awwww.
Yes it is! I love it so much, and I use it every single day! She calls them Bunjis. It’s one of the best birthday presents I ever got. I wish she still made her little monster products cos I would totally order another one. :)
