Processing Towards Perfection..

Wassup readers... I know i haven't been blogging for the past few weeks.. kinda busy with exams and assignments.. and oh yea.. my final exams are due next week... and I am still here busy playing with Photoshop Post Processing (PP).. Well.. I started PP-ing my photos ever since i met Master Zamrud from an outing organised my fellow Shutterasia members.. And to be honest.. I never liked PP-ing photos of models as those pimples.. wrinkles.. etc can make my life miserable... and in the end the final output sucks.. People mostly say my skin tones are uneven.. blotching.. 'overcooked'.. etc..

But then.. I just discovered a new and fast technique of PP-ing my model pictures.... The fastest and easiest way to eliminate the inperfections of the face... Saves me alot of time... and most importantly.. it does the job naturally without destroying the natural texture of the human skin.. and after that.. all i need is some time to dodge and burn my pics in Photoshop..

Cut the story short... These are the effects of my works... Although i do not shoot models anymore.. but then those pics i shot before can be tested for this purpose..

90 Days or 3 Months..

I still remembered the days when you and I are still friends..
And right now..
3 months had passed just like this..
I love the happy and sad moments we shared together...
The times we had fun..
The times we both burst into tears...
The times when we both laughed our heads off..
And also..
The times when u slowly whispered the 3 magic words into my ears...
You're there for me when I am sad..
You're the one who stayed up late to keep me company during sleepless nights..
And yet..
You're the one keep on giving all you can..
You're the one who's shedding tears all the time..
You're the one who's feeling sad every time we fight...
Thank You for all you've done..
I know you're the best....<3

Bye..Bye

Went out with Elizabeth last Wednesday.. Kinda fun outing as i get to poison her into getting a DSLR... Went to places with nice scenery and taught her the basics of DSLR photography.. Basic things such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure.. and many more... Overall, this gurl is a fast learner and soon to be pro when she gets her DSLR.. =
