Big Week: Day 1

My first day went much better than expected. I was able to photograph eleven people, which surprised me. I thought people would be less willing to volunteer to get their picture taken, but I was totally wrong. The responses I got to some of the questions were interesting, but nothing too amusing. My favorite was the response to the question, "How can you prove to me that you are not a figment of my imagination?" The girl asked if she could slap me across the face and I told her to go for it. She was really hesitant, but I told her I would still think she was a figment on my imagination until she did it. So she did! I have to say that was pretty fun. No other responses really stood out to me in particular. 

I've been going through the shots, and I want to experiment on Photoshop with editing, or perhaps even find some other editing software. I found this cool app called ToyCamera AnalogColor. I want to play around with that too. If you know any other apps, let me know! I think using Photoshop and reading up on it will help me learn a lot of new things with editing.

Here is my progress so far: http://lisaboneta.foliohd.com

I'm not satisfied with all my pictures. I want to work on the lighting of my pictures, and overall quality.

  1. I just took a look at your photos and I love the quality! What camera/camera lens are you using?

    Haha, I might just make myself a foliohd. It looks more "portfolio" like than my flickr account.

  2. Thank you! I use a Nikon D3100 and A Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens, I love it so much. Seriously, having the bigger aperture is so nice.

    Definitely make one! I have a Flickr too, but like you said it looks more like a portfolio so it's good to have :)
