This time around, I wanted to get a little glammed up, so I grabbed some nice red lipstick and went to it. I actually wasn't too pleased with myself and it was tougher to find some useable shots. I think it had something to do with the fact that I was doing a million things and had no real plan from the get-go... also it was getting dark and I was losing light so my choices of locations were limited. If you have any themes or ideas for next week's edition, leave a comment and let me know! Anyways, here's what I came out with...
Still not sure how I feel about them, but oh well.
Things I learned:
- My face looks so much different in the mirror than translated to film. It's weird, and I don't understand it completely yet. I need to practice posing sans-mirror.
- Daytime photos are the best. Taking them at night just makes things much more difficult.
Here is my fav from last week's linkup:
She did some awesome bokeh shots!!!
