I wish I was a bird. 
 
Being a human, I hate it sometimes is all about money, laws, rules and so much more. We made these things happened by telling everyone else what to do or what we think and we need. Animals are quite same they are a bit simple. I do not care about money problems, law and they have more freedom. I am jealous of it, and they can travel for free . For us we travel by foot but we are too lazy and we take transport but it cost money.  I think they get away where they lived because they are unhappy or they want earn money. 
 
Human are animal right, why we decide to be different like them. They hunt for food or look for a challenge. Animals do not have a religious or a culture. I do not care about money and I have more freedom and more free time.Will I be happy, only thing will stop me if was a bird. It might a cat, a human or windy day or stormy day.  
 
 
Christmas coming soon, in my family we do not celebrate Christmas, we do celebrated on Boxer day with other family members. This Christmas I will with my friends and my boyfriend, who I have not see a long time. I miss him very much. When you think of someone special, you cannot stop thinking about. I want to see them no matter and no one stop me anyway. 
 
  
 
Merry Christmas, have a good holiday  and happy new year. 
 
Also it is my birthday on 3rd January I am going to be 22 , I have no idea what to do  for my birthday. I do not know I probably celebrate just meal with my friends and my boyfriend. Of course this Christmas  and new year I will more photos just for memories.

Waiting

The word waiting, I hate waiting, I never was patient person . But I have to be if I want something in life.  I do want something but it is someone, it can't hard get them because they are busy getting they working. I have to wait for them to see them again. There is saying good things will come if you wait. At  the moment I am waiting and still waiting, even thought if I made mistakes I still wait. Waiting is the most difficult thing do, I did some things keep myself busy doing projects and spending with my friends.

Same as photography, taking the right picture in the right moment, timing or  getting the process right of the picture.

Here are some images that I used the tool patient.

My work is famous now.

On 5th September I was really busy sorting things out for a special event called Yum cha , it is means a Chinese bunch for my friends. I am glad we have facebook to organized it and much quicker. Also I am delighted to hear and see my work on the magazine . I have been working for Demur for a month now. My work was there but I did not know it  all to be there. This  is good that they like them all and they published it. My photo of myself is a well. I told to everyone and I posted on my facebook wall and some of my family saw it. They were proud of me and I am really happy myself too.

I learned some work experience, such as you have to to confident to be ready for anything. Talking to strangers I do not do. Obviously as a photographer I have to. Some said yes and no. However as a photographer I am have to be an outsider. Meaning take picture that catches your eyes.
 


There is some set back I did not learned fully like working with studio only the street. This was new experience for me and I have to worked with natural lights instead of studio lights. I have to used my own equipment, my digital SLR camera and the natural light. I used Nikon D70 camera, this camera is fantastic gives strong colours and gives easy grip to focus. Some of the pictures I have to take without people know I do not really do that all the time. Some of shots were   bad.  I understand why some photographer to get the perfect picture for them. 
 On page 18 this is my work and I decided to do collage to shows interesting layout. I simply cropped and place the pictures in Photoshop. I put range of different types of summer and spring clothes from the different genders.
On page 19 and 20 I arranged them some of the colours, which were close together and standout together as well.


For the future I might do street photography, but I also want to experience of other types of photography. I have already work with studio, landscapes, jewellery, portraits, weather, mix media, digital media and animation. There is some photography I want to try such as Arial, furniture , documentary, Under water, commercial, cars and wild life.

Street photography

How do you take photos of people with them knowing, simple right ?
Sometime is is simple and difficult. You have to get it  in the right time. Plus you have to be careful and you know might met the same stranger or not.

Take a picture of something else or take a picture of them when they are too busy.
I love this picture that it caught his character  . They are look like a lovely couple.






There are some easy shots taking pictures when the people are sleeping or busy reading  and talking.




I like the last one a lot it remind me of a music commercial and I love what she wearing.
Taking of photos of strangers is quite dangerous but as long you don't  use for a weapon of abutment . I think Photography should give the freedom to  take photos of anyone or everywhere to show off your skills.



More photos

I was looking some photos of Crystal Palace, London and Malaysia, much more . I thought I should post them up. In the pass few weeks there isn't much happening. Mostly I have studying and drawing. I create ideas for eyeliner designers. Liquid eyeliner is an unique to use , I took some photos of them to keep a record of them. I love new camera Nikon D70 and quite light and the lens is fantastic great distance and close up shots.  What I really want a fish eye lens, because it gives an interesting looks of the image.

These are from Malaysia , this is new hotel and you get sleep house, for me I wouldn't I get sea sick and I don't know they are strong enough.













These are pictures are Crystal Palace and I used 18mm and 55mm lens great for distance picture and for the landscapes. The place reminds me of Alice Wonderland or Snow White.

Remember these dinosaurs there still here, there is only few there. There used a lot of there when I was six not now.

This picture scared me and I took this one.Imagine spoke to me, 'what are you doing?'



Next ones are London Parliament and they have wonderful statues .




The last photos Brighton a beautiful city full of art work  and places.






I enjoyed going to places here and They are beautiful and I wan to travel more and I want to learn so much .

My idol is Kyuhyun Choi


I studied photography to achieve my dream , to be a traveling photographer, but to achieve my dream. I have to work hard and shows educated of it . The person that who I admired is not a photographer is a singer, his name Kyuhyun Choi from Super Junior.

Or I called him Kyu for short. Kyuhyun is a wonderful singer and he is an actor in a musical. What word I would describe him is that he is ambitious person, who always work hard his dream no what matter what his circumcises were. Even he was in a car accident his father helped him and supportive his dream, although his father was against it. He is a kind man who keeps going on and doing his best. When I think of him I can understand him of  the struggle and the good outcomes achieving his dream.



 He did tired some new things such as acting,working soloing .In the musical the three musketeers. He was one of the three musketeers. On stage is a different place and acting is a totally different thing. I saw the play and it  was incredible. It is  similar to photography you have to prepare yourself what atmosphere that you are in.  



Kyuhyun is a simple person just like us, accept for  the frame and the money . Also the fan girls are crazy for him. For me not crazy about him, just I admired his characteristic. When he is singing and acting. Especially his smile lifted more in the Super Junior music called Bontannna . He is into gaming, which does not surprise me, because most of boys are in that. Even myself  well I am girl into gaming I love Noheroes  :)


He enjoys what he is doing, not treating the band as work but he treated as the band members as brothers. He was a lonely child so doesn't he much experience with kids.   He has worked solo and one of his songs,  which I like is dreams and  it is a soundtrack soundtrack from Baker King a Korean drama. This song about he continued achieving his dream and dreams are important to us.
 
Even if I have mistakes I will keep on going, whatever happen to me. Until I have achieved it just like Kyuhyun.
 

 

 


 









 Experimenting with ideas
This work was just for fun and I decided to cropped them and placed them in different places. In Photoshop I click on transform and then click on scale to change the size and I arrange them. Some I changed the layers(images). I like the first one and third one, because it has interesting and balance of layout. The second one is good but to me is a bit strange. It took three hours to do each one.
 

Today is such a nice and sunny day, but I am going out with my old friend tomorrow . I miss her and we are going shopping. Anyway through my trips; Crystal Palace park and London. I have a few ideas of fashion and posing. Especially in London, in the tourist places such as Leicester Square, Hyde Park, London Parliament, Oxford Circus and Westend . I love Westend, because it has some good ideas of fashion and the clothes shops are great. At the moment I am loving the leather jackets, but why are so expensive to buy :(

In Crystal Palace there were some people wearing nice clothes,  most were kids and they were climbing rocks and playing in the playground. This bring back memories, when I was a kid, I was clumsy one and the naughty one .

 



Last week I was going through some my emails,  this song in my head. Yes you guess, its a new song by Super Junior Mr. Simple, which came out this month. Their Style in the video is different with their other music videos . This was based on 60s style, but I like their clothes, because it is bright, crazy and creative. All girls would love to have a Mr. Simple, well I would . A simple guy who is funny, romantic and easy to talk to. Not complicated like some I would not name a few here. When I saw the video got some ideas for fashion for boys what they can wear.

 





My favorite one is Kyuhyun Chou or I call him Kyu for short . Kyuhyun 's characteristic well, there is one word to describe him that is, he is very ambitious. He followed his dreams no matter what his circumstances were. Even his father was against it, but  his father help him get better from Kyuhyun's car accident. Even though, Kyuhyun had the car accident and had another one in April. He still kept going to continue his dream. I think he worked with the Super Junior, because they seem act like brothers and his singing and deficient he like dancing . He is my idol that who I admired, because he followed his dreams and he is a very strong person.  I try best all the time not to be just like him, but I keep going, even if make mistakes or been in accident. I still kept going because one day I might achieve it to be Ariel Photographer or just a travel photographer.
  

When I was watching the music video . I saw Siwon's new hairstyle personally I don't like it, because I think it doesn't suit him . He reminds of someone, Haruko Akagi in Slam Duck  I watched this in the Malaysia and I love the opening song and ending. The anime was really good. I bet the stylist got the idea from the anime LOL.   

 











Camera is an unique tool to use in Photography, and filming . Photos build a story , memories and piece of art. Filming shows the same meaning. Camera can create a moving mirror and it record things around you . 
 
Photography is taking pictures,  but it means more than that , it  use for a purpose to improve an image in a better perspective. Some people do not understand the true meaning of photography, that mean they have not try it yet. I bet when they tried it for three weeks, they will understand a bit more of it.
