Pre-Flower Project Experiment

Finally have some more time to myself! :):) Just started my CNY holiday! In this holiday I will try my very best to backup the photography work in the past as well as shooting more photos. :):) I have been motivating myself to keep my photography work going on a regular basis...so from now on I will do a little monthly project for leisure purpose! I chose flowers, particularly Lily and Calla Lily as the subjects I will shoot for my first little project. However the flowers lately are quite expensive due to CNY, so I picked up some flowers fallen off the tree from the park nearby to do a little experiment before I really start working on Lilies~

I set up my little "studio corner" to shoot this flower yesterday, no professional tools to begin with...just my beloved camera and the very solid tripod. Got to be creative when we don't have much money to buy those equipments right? haha
What I've used is just a big piece of black cloth, and some clips LoL, I tried to use a crappy USB light and iPod touch to brighten it a little, but it turns out quite unnatural. Sun light is always the best friend of flowers.

There are quite a lot of improvements to be made next time such as relocation my little "studio", the clips and the supporting materials.

I don't really like to retouch photos unless it's really necessary, maybe I am just lazy :P:P

Thanks for reading and be well :):)

Water Lily By Chauses

Water Lily By Chauses，原由 Chauses 上載。

so I didn't update this blog for quite a while, and after reading an article from bubbi I realize I got to wake up too to realize my dreams. After these few days of busy work at school I am gonna to start all over again to plan and to set my goals for my dreams :) I am sure my passion for cooking, crochet, handcraft and photography will take me somewhere I enjoy in the future. I hope what I share here will attract some people who share the same values. Let's work hard to realize our goals together :)

From bubbi:
"You don't have to be rich to be successful. As long as you are happy, you will be mentally rich. You can be a bin man and be the best bin man there ever was. Where does your passion take you? I spent too many years listening to ppl telling me what to do and what not. I only intend to walk in Earth once so somebody tries to stop your tracks? Tell them no and don't listen. If your soul is really strong willed, you will find your own way to make things happen. If you believe in yourself, dont jus sit n wait. As my friend says, to make dreams come true; you gotta wake up. "

Thanks for inspiring me :)

Water Drop

I am like many of you and think that water drop is a very attractive area in photography, every one of them's different and there can be thousands and millions' combination.

Hong Kong is not like other countries that almost everyone have a garden, here we need to struggle for more space for our bathroom and kitchen :P:P it would be very nice if you can go around you garden and try to appreciate every grass and flower around and take a picture of them sometimes :):)

Gardening

Red and green are always good combination, don't you think so? It is said in an old chinese language that no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they need the green leaves to make them look better, I think it's quite true!

Flower Photography

Flower is one of my favourite area in photography, when you see them pretty, you've got to take your camera out immediately, because they change every second! I personally think a clear background is good enough for flowers, because they are so beautiful themselves, fancy things around will just make them look less attractive, what do you think?
