Been away for so long...I'm changed, I'm not that girl Broken record in my head
But anyway, hey guys
Just a quick update of what I'm doing at the moment
I'm still alive, although I don't seem to be busy with photography. Well, that's partly true. I just struggle with two problems: There are still loads of motives here in Scotland for me, I still haven't discovered everything. Problem is, if I do see something interesting I don't have my cam with me. And if I do, it's often the case that I would need my tripod to get a proper photo. Sometimes it's frustrating, mais c'est la vie
On the other hand, I struggle with a lack of creativity when it comes to conceptual photography. I don't know, I've been thinking about my two lightbulbs for three weeks now
And I bet I will have a descent idea when I'm back in Germany...without my bulbs, of course
But I suppose you'll see new pictures next week or at least in the next couple of weeks in May. Uni is more or less finished. There are just one essay and two exams left, but that doesn't keep me from going out and taking pictures
Only the weather can do that, although rain could be awesome sometimes
And as I'll leave Scotland in about four weeks again (wow, it's really 4 weeks
), I really want to take as much photos as I can since it will be difficult for me to find any interesting motifs in Germany. At least there's nothing in my area that's better than waterfalls
Maybe, I'll try some architecture photos in Berlin...I have to learn that someday anyway
As for my exhibition: I have my first framed photo...and I love it
Although it's just my tree which is definitely not my favourite picture, it's nevertheless something special
But anyway, I was offered to have an official opening on the evening before the actual exhibition takes place. So, I might organise this, and I have several appointments at the local printing and framing shop to get everything sorted before I go to Germany again. And if...no when I'm back, I just need to pick up my pictures and everything's fine.
I feel
and since I still can't really decide between all of my pictures I'm thinking about 25 pictures...but pictures varying in size. I don't want it to look so...homogeneous.
Okay guys, that's it for today. My pageviews are running towards 12k which makes me really proud. The next news feature will be up soon, I think that will be the case next week....my last feature from Scotland....
Can't believe that time is really running, just three more years left, it's a shame
See you around
Nadin

Close-Ups has a new contest, the 'Yellow Contest'. I'll make some information available tonight on the club page. If you want to take part, just join us

A change of scenery is always good for your creativity. Look at old things, but in a new way, when you're back home. What used to be a bridge, may now be a balance scale. [link] You never know!~

Good nature shots? Or macro? You can find it in here, in my gallery
Why not try HDRi? It's like a whole new world.
I think you're a purist. Maybe that limits your horizons. Digital photography is boundless is you aren't afraid to experiment.

Most of the shots I use in these HDRi shots would be crap if taken separately. But you put two or three bracketed shots together and adjust about 15 sliders and you have this [link] . All three of the shots that make this up have blown out skies, and I don't know how in God's name HDRi knows what to do, but it does. BTW, this shot has the color turned up a bit because the cranberries look awesome, to me. LOL

I think that everyone gets insanely busy as the school year winds to a close. At least the American school year is... I just got home from a performance, I have a practice AP exam to make up tomorrow, a practice AP exam to take on Saturday, a real AP exam and a journalese news story next Tuesday, another AP exam the following Thursday... Then I have to find some time to print some poems off the computer before they get hacked and to edit a story for class...
But nothing that'll affect anyone but me (excepting the stories and performance). Your stuff is going to hit a ton of people. Will you take photos of the exhibition? That would be so exciting to see! The work of the famous ~favocal, on display in Scotland.
Good luck and don't drown yourself in too much work! Perhaps looking at the work of others will give you ideas? Read some stuff and see if it inspires you. If you're anywhere near Edinburgh, you might be able to get some shots there (I've heard that it's marvelous there). I'm not sure where to tell you to look, but you'll find something to shoot, sooner or later.

And yes, of course I will take pictures from my exhibition and then you can see what it was like, I'll do a collection then to include as many pictures as possible. But first of all, there are still a few months left...thank God. I wouldn't know what do to if the exhibition was next month
And surely I'll find some inspirational stuff,as always

I don't know how I take good photos. Really. I lose myself in the viewfinder and my subjects, and before I know it I've used hundreds megabytes on my memory card. So you see, I'm not very calculated in what I do.
The only reason i told you that is that I think you may think too much, not only while you shoot, but about about "things" in general.
Hope you don't mind this bit of "advice" .
