what's in my head, of late
dateline for the photography project approaches. it's all i can think of at the moment. i have to shoot in RAW format, something i've never done before and am uncertain of how to process it, or how it'll turn out.
when it comes to shooting for an exhibition - there is just no room for uncertainty. being an amateur is no excuse.
in comes adobe photoshop lightroom. i've been toying with it, learning how to post process pictures and testing the capabilities of this software. so far - i LOVE it. download the trial - you get to use it free for 30 days.
am jumping between being mildly satisfied with the pics i've taken, to hating them all. the thing is this - i have a concept in my head. i love the concept in my head. but am limited by my measly equipment. i need a proper macro lense. which costs a bomb. so am doing something crazy - stacking THREE close up filters onto my lense and crossing my fingers, hoping that that doesnt compromise the quality of my pics.
i only thought this up two days ago, as i was finalising my pics the LAST FINAL round (or so i thought, tee hee). i think i have one last afternoon to shoot - this saturday. hopefully i can get some good ones that satisfies me.
why do good ideas only drop at the last possible minute?
i know this post isn't making much sense, am just ranting because i want to.
later peeps! might post a pic as a teaser preview to tempt you to come to the exhibition on dec 1 & 2 !!

ok i am just rambling here so don't take my word for it but i think it's the sense of urgency and panic that opens this secret door inside our mind. the treasure room that actually holds all the answers but can never be accessed on regular basis.
wah! for a moment it sounds so real... muahahahaha!

wei! i checked it out liao.... the latest photos a-g are a SPOT ON! finally the idea you have in your head has truly manifested itself on your lens. things are so in tune now.... i'd rather you just display all those that are imediately abstract (a-g and the other's that i've also commented)
but good also lah, now got 2 options. one's literal and the other is surreal....

Why didn't you ask me for the not so good macro lens. I had a 1:2 lens

Why didn't you borrow a not so good macro lens from me. I had a 1:2 lens.
