The birth of the much awaited project

I was planning to make a 365-day project but i am having second thoughts because if the classes starts, i won't be able to update my project.



The Opening: "midnight solitude"

The Experiment

As soon as i got the tips from the Expert, i rushed to my closet and got my kit to try this new setting i've learned. Well, it didn't end up so good :(













-2 stops, +2 saturation, lowest contrast, Nikor f1.8 50mm

Elite meets Amateur

This morning, i had a chat with my friend known as Deeman Franz WeirdScience. Here are his shots:


This is how they do it




I was curious about him doing post-editing works and the software he's using but he revealed the he just pre-edit. He blend the exposures, shutter speed and aperture before shooting... nice!  Wish I was that good.
The "expert" gave me some tips:
   1. Don't shoot at fixed contrast
   2. Lessen the contrast
   3. Blend the contrast in shutter speed

here are my attempts in doing the tips:


set on 0 contrast, less 2 stops, 0 saturation, vivid shooting mode


set on the lowest contrast, less 2 stops, +2 saturation, vivid shooting mode

still working on outdoor using these tips =)

we came for them

We went to Nuvali because I am dying to try some of the skills I learned. These trials turned out a little bit of a failure especially on the strobing part... still practising to perfect that.
