A photoshop trick

I was looking at one of my picture i took during my trip to ilocos and tried to make something out of it. While checking it on photoshop I saw that the histogram tells that there are no clipped shadows or highlights (Those excess graph on the left most or right most), which means that i can just use the levels to brighten it up a little. So sitting on it for a few minutes and after adding some more layers, I got this.

Just another boring night hearing my addict housemates(D.O.T.A.) play. So to make my self a little bit productive, I selected a few photos from our shoot last sunday, But what am i going to do? So i tried to remember about some of the photos Shot by my friends, and i remembered Sarah's work. (http://flickr.com/harrassed). And guess what I copied her Border hehehe... At least i ask permission but she refused, Anyway congrats on your new lens.....

A little of "Me" Designing

I always wanted to try to create something that looks like those good abstract and very well design wallpapers found around the web. But until now have'nt created something that has that special uuuuuuummmmpppppp. Though below are my tries. Tried to use the images of C2 and Carl (My officemates) I shot at intramuros a few weeks ago.

Stephanie Kulchar

Im here at tuguegarao for about 6 days now and last night my cousin Stephanie asked me to take a picture of her, so my ninang Jean lend some coats, spotlight and some makeup.

I have hard time thinking on what to do because its my first time to shoot with a glamour theme because i usually shoot cathedrals hehehe.

While im taking some photos my cousin used a cell to picture her self.....
