Photography n photoshop

Spending time looking for places to shoot and off work, figuring out the different effects one can work with photoshop.

Keeps me busy...but kinda lonely as well..cos its a solo event.

Tried my first step into stock photography, learn alot about the dos and donts. Expanding yr view on how to explore the different perspective one can have on a simple item.

I only have less than 5 so far, out of my hundreds overshoot which fits the requirement of a stock photography...and i think it takes forever for the company to actually approve my photos and someone to even buy it. But its a good exposure.

Looking for a new lens as well, 17-55mm, the price range about 1500. Just gotten my flash gun @ 472. Feels more complete when doing portrait or when there is indoor lighting.

Learn about white balance, colour balance, sharpening, blur, lens flare, noise reduction..blah blah...but none is still as good as creating effects for wedding photos...a trade secret...

Spend time looking @ great wedding pictures, how cs5 turn them from normal looking to a emotional, dramatic ones. Knowing yr tools, is almost 75 percent going to make a badly taken shot to a good shot w effects.
