52 weeks?

I think I have decided to start a 52 weeks project. Both to learn more of what I do, and to notice the fact that I have to challenge myself a little bit. I also think its a great way to keep up my hobby! And the only thing I have to do is to take one shot every week. It can't be that hard, can it?

Out of inspiration

I have really spent too much time inside on my computer. Even though its frost outside, perfect for great pictures, I have no inspiration and happiness for my camera. I would really like to get inspiration of any kind, because it ends up with just crazy looking pictures of me and my friends on school. I don't think my camera has been used in the way I want it to for months. I really need to get my inspiration back. Do you have any good tips for me?

My very first print!

This picture is now hanging in my mom's living room! I'm so happy, it came out so beautiful. This is actually a really early Christmas present for my mom, and she was really happy for it! What do you think?

Happy birthday to me

The 16 August was my birthday. Okay, its 15 minutes since now, but I want to write about it. I actually turned 16 years the 16 of August! A little cool, hehe. This picture is created by my frustration. I't might not look that way, but when I don't even found a single balloon in this house, to do what I had planned, I got frustrated.. Every piece in this picture, the flowers, my hairband, around my eyes, the butterflies, everything is actually from my scrapping things. None of it is photoshoped, simply because I suck at photoshop.

This day was actually good until the clock was about 23:45. Then my thoughts, feelings and everything just fall down again. I hate this periods.. I hate to think. Maybe I should use this time to try to get out anything of it in pictures?

Let me hide here for a while

Everyone tells me that "Sweden is right next to Norway, the language is almost the same, so I don't know why you not understand" yah, the language is sooooo similar. Its like saying cat and mean dog. Do you say I'm going to understand that? Somehow, I have been here for like three days, and I understand pretty much, but if something is hard to understand, English or Kurdish works out! (No, I don't speak Kurdish, but my boyfriend and his cousin that lives here does). With other words, its nice to be a little bit away from anything, like when I was out shooting earlier. The feeling of being all alone is so amazing, because every single moment there is people around me. If it not anyone I know, there is some of the people living here, that I have not met yet.

About the place  I was shooting, its really beautiful. This is one of the entrance to the house here, and the first time I walked trough it it was really scary. It was all dark outside and the trees is so lo that I got almost everything in my head.. But, when I saw it in daylight, I couldn't say anything but "This is beautiful!" 

This picture actually means a lot to me. You will probably ask why, but that's because of how I have captured it. My favorite motive, flowers and my baby(the dog) is both in it, and this two things is what keeping me up these days. Yes, I have my boyfriend and things like this, but seriously, my dog and flowers is what keeps me going at the moment. 

I know the dog loves me, and to have him cuddling with me in the bed every single night, and to take walks up in the forest with him, is so relaxing and warm. I really love him, and although his not been mine very long, he has taken a really big part of my heart already.

Jacki really love to play with balls, and to run after them. And even thought he's little, he is surprisingly fast!  

I love you

I got inspired to make a .gif today, but I don't actually like the way it turned out. I'll have to work more on the lightning and to keep my camera still. Maybe there is a good idea to move the camera out of my bed? But, if I spend some time at it, I can really make this thing look a little bit better. Just make sure my camera stand still, and experiment with some light. What do you think?

Reminds me of a tiger

The Lilium Bulbiferum is a so beautiful flower! And the pattern reminds me so much of a tiger. Especially the orange one. We have yellow ones on the garden too, but they haven't started blooming yet. Why the wall behind the pictures got all blue, I have no Idea really. But, I captured almost what I wanted to, so I'm quite happy. 

By the way, if you look a little bit to the right ----------->

There you'll see some buttons, a Flickr, a Facebook and a Twitter-button. When you click at those buttons, you'll come to my photography page on Facebook(if you click the Facebook-button) My Flickr-account(if you click the Flickr-button) and to my Twitter-account(If you click the Twitter-button)

So, that's all for now!

Bubbles and balloons?

Have you ever seen the Step Up movies? Have you ever watched the third movie, Step Up 3? Those are all great dance movies and so, but why I'm talking about them, is because if you have see'n it, you had understand why I thought of this movie when I should pick a name for this picture. Bubbles and balloons, is the name of Moose's first battle in that movie. So, I just missed the balloons in this picture. 

I think I have to barrow my sister's soap bubbles and buy some balloons for my next shot! 

This picture is actually put together by many pictures! I stood on the same place, and my friend helped me taking pictures after I had set the camera settings right. So, a big thanks to my friend, Caroline! 

Next time I'm going to do something like this, I'll have to be more prepared! Because this time it was just like; "ANDREA, can we barrow your soap bubbles??"(Andrea is my little sister) and then we started shooting.. Not good prepared, and as you see, the light absolutely sucks! 

I'm in love...

...with Digital Photography School! I have read, read, grabbed my camera and read a little more, for about 2 weeks now. So, really, I'm totally in love with Digital Photography School(or DPS as I'm prefer to call it). There are really so many great tips there, and you can learn so much small things that is so much worth, but that is hard to teach all by yourself!

When I'm already writing about this, I recommend you all to read  the "100 things I've learned about photography"-link, that you can find by clicking here.

The writer of the list is German, and writes his blog in Germanic. But he has translated the list to English for publishing to DPS. Nice guy, right?

A little fairy; selfportrait

Picture I took a while ago, edited on the wings and a butterfly in Photoshop. What do you think?
