Using Reflectors : Cat Images


Cat pictures! :3 

using a reflector...


The reflector is more useful than I first though... Back in high school they had a 
Film broadcast and everytime they interviewed people
you could totaly see the bright glare from them using a reflector...
he's not too interested in reflectors... little does he know the curtain also doubles as a reflector!


so for a while I was against it.. This is my first time using a Neewer reflector
I got of amazon for $8 

use the reflector whenn you can!! XD 

it makes a huge difference!!

Get as close to the subject as you possibly can without getting the reflector in the shot... 

or unless you want to use the reflector as a white background! ;) 

well this would be more educational if I added a with and without picture... hold up I'll go do it now.. 
but its late so I don't have any Natural Light to work with... and my cat's sleeping in a dark spot of the house... ugh.. okay hold on... 


okay so here's without the reflector. The photo is more contrasy and if you want a dark, lonely mood
then using no reflector is good :P  
it also looks crappy out of context so maybe moody isn't good... 
This is with the reflector. 
no settings on the camera were changed and both images were processed the same. (curves and sharpness)

but this one has a happier, more colorful mood. Also the Mega64 artwork gets some light shed on it... 

(perhaps I'll use a tripod one day... cause I did NOT move the cat.. blame it on the light...)

Harajuku - Fashion, Beauty Besides the Skin...

Every Sunday in the area around Harajuku Station, hundreds, thousands of teenagers flock to the area...  wearing the most outlandish, awesome, crazy fashion you can think of... and also to socialize among themselves and meet new people... Being there in person... It's another story... 






The styles vary anywhere from goth, Visual Kei,  cosplay, decora, punk and many made up and mixed styles... 





contest being held at Harajuku 
:)


Many fashion styles around the word originated from Harajuku and several countries around the world have also started having fashion meetups much like Harajuku. 




Its just a for fun thing... and also another reason why getting off the computer and going out into the real world is so much more satisfying... And another reason why Japan is a step ahead of the world...
