my bestfriend's model...

my bestfriend just bought a DSLR...wooohooo! magdiwang...and honestly my interest in photography started because of her, nung hi-skul pa lang kame parati nyang dala ang camera niya noon...oo yung di-film, meron pa nga yang camera na yung luma na may rotation button kada-shot...iikot mo tapos shot, tapos iikot mo uli bago ka magshot ulet para maadjust yung rolyo ng film sa loob...hehehe (super old school). Mayaman sya dahil anak-OFW siya kaya marami syang pampadevelop noon....hehehe

okay, so ano ba to? picture, malamang:P pagbigyan nyo na ko malapit na bday ko...hehehe. Nung nagbakasyon kame sa pinas malamang ako ang ginawa nilang malupet na utusan na photographer...so lahat ng pics ko (extra lang ako lagi) kulang na lang lumuhod ako at magmakaawa na makapagpapicture...jowk! so naawa naman saken ang bestfriend ko kaya lahat ng kuha ko e shot nya...so what's the point nga deth? okay in short gusto ko lang siya iencourage na may innate talent siya sa photography





kase ang gaganda ng shots niya saken:)) or pde rin na talagang cute lang ako:P (nyahahaha!!!)

Nikki-Tip: encourage you're friends who have the talent in photography to go for it...may photoshoot buddy ka na, may photographer ka pa...hehehe;) Happy Snaps!

How to Make Your Photo Glossy

I have another set of before and after for you guys...

Do you notice the really nice glossy look of photos captured by "pro" photographers(well I do) and yes we admire them and we think, well they are really good in capturing/manipulating lights and maybe they are experts in photoshop...

but... YOU CAN DO IT!

How can you make your picture glossy and more aliveeeee!!!? hehehe
This one is a very simple tip... using Microsoft Office Picture Manager: Contrast (slider button)

By simply adjusting the contrast (higher) this is what happen to my shot...


For me with higher contrast besides being more glossy it gives her face more highlights...creating a better portrait.

I have another one:

So take out your pictures and try to open it using Microsoft Office Picture Manager and adjust that contrast slide and see for yourselves if you think it's useful. Happy-Snaps:)
