Xmas

 

This is why december is one of my favorite months :D lots of lights and colors! I spent the day decorating the house and setting up the tree, it was a handfull of work but it was worth it!:D I love to see the house all christmas like :3 Now the only thing missing is the christmas sweets and the smell of cinnamon all over the place *-*

Since I was decorating the house, I played a bit with the ligh...

ts and this is just a little teaser :3 the following days I'll try this kind of photography again but with the due time since today it was all rushed >.<' I barely had time to do the tree cut out for the effect...but next time I'll probably make some tutorial so other people can learn how to do it too ^^

Vacations?

I've spent the past few months working on a presentation about photography for my final school presentation and haven't had time to do anything else!!>:(

Yesterday was, finally, the day! Along with my class and a full auditorium ready to hear and learn from each and every one of us. It was probably the most stressful day ever, mainly because I was the 10th and as I watched my colleagues speaking one by one, the stress was growing and growing! Nevertheless, it went pretty well and I managed to explain the basics of photography in a simple and clear way, and I spoke about two famous photographers too :)

I took my cameras and portfolio to the presentation and the critics were pretty positive!^^ The photography bellow was used so people that were far away could see the cameras I was talking about.

I was pretty nervous but in the end it gave me motivation to study even more and try to graduate in photography and follow my dreams ^^ But for now I'll just relax and enjoy the holidays with my loved ones, bake some christmas sweets and hunt christmas gifts!:) I'll try to do some portrait photography projects too but I'm not sure I'll have the time, let's hope so!:D
