Miyuki Is Shooting

[Gentile]

I'm going to attempt to get a picture in everyday. I need to start taking my camera out more :] I'm so lazy.
I'll start tomorrow haha.

First entry:

1 Some Photo Manipulation :]

[Grumbledook]

not a bad start, think it would be better with the framing shifted over to the right

cutting out most of the front face of the cupboards and getting the rest of your arm in on the forward recline

[Gentile]

Ya sadly I took the picture with half of her out of it. I'll totally try again though. I think I'll try myself today haha. XD

Nice shots Miyuki, the first is clever By the way, I was just wondering, where do you actually live? In your introduction thread I think you said America, on your DevArt Japan, and then you have a mixture of shots featuring Japanese and 'non-japanese' subjects (the train station is obviously Japan right?). Do you just move about a lot?

Don't worry i'm not stalking you, heh. Was just curious is all But yeah, nice shots. The first is my favourite

[Gentile]

Thank you!
Actually I live in Japan....I might have said I'm from the US since I consider my home to be California. I go to an International School though and an extremely international church so I meet up with a lot of foreigners.
And since I didn't have a chance to post last night...

Make up for yesterday...

Your portraits have a great character to them, they're kind of contemplative. I really like it, keep shooting. And ditch DA for Flickr, the quality is consistently so much better

[Gentile]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you :]
It's kind of funny though cause they never know I'm taking their picture XD. I just see people and if I think it would make a good picture...I snap away. I keep telling people my dream is to be in the paparazzi haha.
I will most definitely join Flickr haha.

[Gentile]

Sorry I didn't get to yesterday, didn't take my camera out.

Heh, that was me in the rest of my classes yesterday after an insane Greek Myths test.

[Gentile]

Haha. That was a girl before the class even started. First period.

[Gentile]

Gah I've been bad!

I like the high saturated/high contrast look of #10. Makes it interesting and surreal. Would crop a bit off the sides though.

Nice timing on #11. Maybe push the highlights a bit? What were they looking at??

[John.D]

Why does everyone in your classes look so bored?

They're more tired haha. Kids at my school get around 4 hours of sleep a night...freaking loads of homework.

So I haven't uploaded this thread in a while. Shame on me. XD I don't know how to cateogrize this pictures so I'll put it here, and try and get this going again.

I like the red/blue contrast in that one, but I think you could get a mysterious mood (if you want) by doing a tight vertical crop on the central part and playing around with it as a B/W.

[Gentile]

Ya someone else told me to try it B/W as well. I shall and post back later :]

Interesting color. You might want to tilt it a bit, but that could be hard to do without cutting the part at the top. Though you could add some white on top before rotating and cropping.

[electric utters (:::)]

#12 is my fav. I like the angle you shot at, and the tones in the image...gives off kind of a warm/mellow mood. You have a lot of nice work!

[Gentile]

Thank you =)
