The Lens

It's not mine. My Mom bought that from my friend, for my husband's birthday present (and that made him accused me for assuring my mom to buy that for him on behalf of me)

The fact is: I want the lens but i need to save. So when my mom offered me to buy that, I said No. She Gave Me A Lot Already. But then she remembered we planned to travel (which we dont know whether it's gonna happen or not *sigh), she remembered that we love taking pictures. She remembered my husband loves to take my portraiture pictures.

So she bought him this as a late bday present. Well, but I must say I'm happy too.

What Does An Angel Look Like When She Smiles?

I was at my sister's art day @ school when I found this charming little girl (second to my sister :P) smiling amazingly like she saw angels performing on stage.

But, she herself does smile like an angel, right? ( Though I never saw one)

Photoshop and Lightroom

Wiama suggests me to start using Lightroom, and when i had it, I go all the way looking for tutorials and such. Then, I found something called "presets". Kinda similar to "action" in Photoshop, supposedly to make your processing job easier. I surf down the net and found this website, PresetsHeaven (which i found very much amusing!).

In one of his articles, the author wrote this:

Hi all!

Since I started using Lightroom I more often have a look at my old holiday photos. I believe the reason is because I like to play/experiment with them. Earlier I used Photoshop for this, but using “actions” in Photoshop is quite time-consuming since the only way of seeing an effect is to first apply it. If you know exactly what your action does, it works great though. If I’m just going to play with a particular photo, Photoshop would still be a good choice, but when it comes to multiple images…no thank you.

If I have 5 Thumbs, guess i'm gonna give it all to him. :)).

Lightroom is soo taking my heart away :P

process em or not?

there's this thing about photoshop actions. because i can just click it then zap, the picture's nuance changes.

later i realize that even using actions requires you to be creative, and sensitive. it made me learn (like it or not) to edit the pictures outside using the actions..

still, i love editing/post processing those pictures.

but, questions then arise. process em or not. i mean, I wanna use the DSLR because it creates different image from the ordinary pocket cam, so why still i edit them?

i dont know. shud i continue my editing thing??
