Some finished works

Really bad quality on here...sorry for that.

For the darker photograph I used brushes for the smoky effect. Downloaded from Falln-stock ( http://falln-stock.deviantart.com/)

Cheap flash reflector :D

Hi. I wanted to share something with you. I got an idea a few days ago and realised it yesterday. I made a flash reflector for builtin flas. It guides the flash to the ceiling or walls and then the light bounces onto the object. So the shadows wont be that sharp in the photo.
I used a small mirror, two-sided tape, velcro and a plastic sheet (can be reaplaced with cardboard or something like that)

Sorry, I'll take some better photos of it and also when it's attached to the camera.

Ofcourse the extra flash would work much better, but as I don't earn money by taking photographs, I can't buy all the extra equipments. They cost very much and I'm not able to spent that much money on a hobby.

Here is a sample (all taken with same shutter, aperture and in the same light conditions):

Surprise, surprise!

Better late than ever... =)

Happy holidays!

I know I should have posted Saile's photos before, but I didn't. :P I just can't decide how to edit them, b'n'w or colour ( cold tones or warm)...hehe. Anyways...before it's too late I would like to wish you all happy new year. :)

Hi!

Yesterday I had a photoshoot with Saile again. The photos were taken for my schoolwork. I had this idea for a long time actually, but there wasn't just a fitting weather for the shooting. It was quite cold and snowy a couple of weeks ago and I just had to wait for the snow to melt. Fortunately, yesterday the weather was absolutely perfect. Thank you God! :P
AND I thank Pille and Saile ofcourse who were very helpful. Poor Saile, had to pose for me with quite cold and windy weather. She's shuch a good model and never whines about a thing! :)
I actually haven't started with the editing yet. But I think I can post them soon.

Saile and Pille as usual...

I dedicate this song to you, Pille and Saile :P :

Photos of Saile

So, here are the final results. I'm open to critique, if it's constructive. (The photo above didn't really suit with other photographs because of it's warm colour, so I placed it a bit separately from the others.)Oh, and try to ignore the poor quality due to filepacking(or whatever you call it).

Behind the scenes

Hey! You probably were all thinking that I wouldn't post anything here anymore. Sorry for not doing it for so long time. I kind of didn't "touch" my camera for about 3 months! (Yea, I can't believe it either) :D I'm not going to whine here like " oh I've been so busy and tired and other stuff", because i've been completely OKAY. I just didn't feel like taking photographs.
Anyways two weeks ago I was shooting Saile. I kind of wanted to do something close to wild and native. I bought some fake fur, leather and fabrics with Pille and made some accessories and skirt really "fast" right before the shooting. Thank you very much,Pille, for the skirt and for assistance of the light.For animal-lovers,yes the fur she's holding is real, but it probably wasn't killed in a horrible way (probably during hunting and as we all know hunting is very essential) and if you really don't have any glue about it, then don't bother to post stupid comments about it. I hope I didn't sound too harsh here. :D
I still have some photos to edit and I will post them as soon as I finish the post processing. Right now I'll upload some behind the scenes. ;)
