The 52-Week Collection - Week 23: The Mask

It is not easy to shoot in the summer...I am so exhausted now after half day working, only 2 hours' walking and 1.5 hour's shooting in the evening...I can feel my body was drying up under the sun, but I am still grateful that my brain has enough room to shoot pictures after work haha. It is really important to squeeze time to do what we like in our busy lives, it fuels up our emotion stability tanks.

It's good to meet up with old friends, Daisy is my secondary schoolmate and now we are graduated and working, time flies. I am really glad to have known a lot of good friends at schools. I didn't realize I do like this style so much, black clothing, black long gloves, red lips and hat. I was watching Breakfast at Tiffany's yesterday and I do like how the women dress up back then. Watching old movies once in a while is really great.

Looking back at my photos now I think my works are too alike, which is not a very good thing, I need some breakthroughs to further develop my styles, think I need to look at more works by other photographers to grow and develop.

The 52-Week Collection - Week 22: A Drop of Effort



Week 22, The weather is so hot and unstable, I was planning to go take pictures of Vitoria Harbour but am a bit concerned about the sudden changing weather lately so I think I might have to do that next week.

Glad that I finally got a new ball head for the tripod, the old platform only allows me to take pictures in landscape direction so I think it should be great to get one that can allow me to take portrait direction also~ money come and go since the day I realized I like photography...

This is what I have done finally...I didn't know why would I do water but anyway...I have shot for about 2 hours and this is one of those done in the first half hour...so exhausted...not a very wise choice to shoot water again until I get a small spot light ($ again), the environment was not bright enough so that was a bit difficult. The liquid's color is from food coloring, hmmm wanna try blue coloring next time hehe
