Street Photography

     After watching a YouTube video on photography tips I came across a suggestion to do a monthly challenge.  This month is a street photography. I have done some so far and I personally was happy to do any challenge and this one in particular was an interesting one.
     I think my main challenge in any challenge is to capture randome people as they are. No posing, no fake smiles, just as they are, awkward and natural. Some times it works, but most of the time when I try to take a picture, I have to be like a spy. People immediately turn around and look my way, they get scared and almost run away. I am trying to be as discrete as I can, pretending that I am taking pictures of something else but them. Hard and challenging, but this is how I like it! BRING IT ON!

Flowers

       I have been looking at some pictures of different flowers that people take and then post on their blogs, FaceBook, and other websites. And I thought that I want to do the same! I want to post some of my flowers there as well. Needless to say, I love what I do, and I want to share this with my friends, peers and other people who might be interested in this. 

       Soon there will be a new big bang that I will be posting here. It's a little surprise for those who follows my blog or at least looks at it!

Irina and Jordan

A few weeks ago I had a chance to take engagement pictures for my friend Irina and her fiance Jordan. This was completely new experience to me and I loved every minute of it. It was difficult at times but over all this was a great experience.
I want to congratulate Irina and Jordan with their decision to get married, I wish all the best.

Besides taking these pictures I had much to work on the editing. I was searching internet for some kind of interesting tutorials on how to edit pictures and make it a wedding/engagement style. It was a blast! I found so many different websites that offered free and pay-per-watch tutorials. I learned many different styles and interesting techniques that helped me along the way. 

My personal favorite style that I learned and used here are colored pictures with using aging techniques. They look like there was too much light on them, or a sun beam got into a camera lens. Basically something that's not a very ordinary at our time. Enjoy!
