In Which You Ignore Awkward Expressions

Most of you know that I don't often post selfies on here... or anywhere for that matter. I'm super scared of the other side of my lens. Yup. It's weird, but it's true. I'm not a photogenic person. Here, see for yourself...

SOOC Shot

That's a tripod shot. And yes, that snowball is actually directed at you. And no, I don't often wear that expression.

SOOC Shot

Still awkward... but not that much.

SOOC Shot

Ummm... yeah...

SOOC Shot

This is a fail at a tuck jump shot. Someone pointed out that I look like I'm dying... which I don't deny. 

I can't even believe I'm posting these on my blog. Extremely humiliating. I don't normally look like this guys... really.

These are from last Saturday. Snow is all gone now though.

I love Christine in this shot! That's her genuine smile... which is really hard to capture. :)

If you buy Downhere's newest album (The Altar of Love) from their website, you can get one of their older ones for $5. Seriously, you need to get it. It's awesomely amazing!

I wasn't even taking this shot for the sake of the shot. I needed the page number for reference. :P

5. Always Look on the Bright Side

Brightness/Contrast Adjustment

You have no idea how difficult it was to take this shot! I took it yesterday while I was out in the front yard. It's been raining here quite often lately, so the grass was rather wet, and since I didn't want to get my pants dirty and since this flower was closer to the ground than I would've wanted, I had to get into the most uncomfortable position. I bent down really close to the ground, so that my knees were almost touching it, but not quite, and positioned my camera about 6 or 7 inches above the ground. Then I lowered my head to look through the viewfinder (painful!). Most awkward position you can get into (it looks worse than it sounds)! A little boy riding his bike paused to stare at me... and I don't blame him, I'm guessing I looked pretty ridiculous! :P :D But hey, looking at the bright side, I got this awesome shot!

Lightning

My first ever lightning bolt shot!

SOOC Shot

Here's how it happened: A few weeks back we were all out taking a nighttime walk at a nearby lake. Unfortunately (well I guess it's fortunately! :D ), a thunderstorm was coming our way. As soon as I saw the lightning flashing over at the other side of the lake, out came my camera and tripod, and I manged to get a shot of one of the many lightning bolts! Then, all of a sudden, it started raining... hard. Fortunately, the car was close by and we all jumped right in, I was still soaked though... but at least I managed to keep my Canon dry. :D

Here's an edit.
