The wink

This bird was winking at me for the longest time, I think he gets photographed alot, cause he was just standing there and posing for me.

The original can been seen here.

+watch me here if you want to see the rest of this series!

As always, critique/suggestions in comments is appreciated!

HDR practice

Part of the series for Sunsets around the world.

This one was taking at Tsing Yi, Hong Kong.

I'm going to continue to play with HDR in this series.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

What I'm doing is actually just finding a composition with lots of lights and lots of shadows, setting the exopsures to -2, 0, +2 and letting it rip.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to doing HDR, feel free to share it in the comments. I would also appreciate any critique, here or on my deviantArt page.

Until next time

Sunsets from Around the world.

I feel like alot of my post are crappy in quality, so I'm going to try to put more effort into each one. By doing so, you all will see beetter quality work from me, but as a trade off, it might take me a bit longer to get the work out.

I'll try to have AT least 1 post a week, but I most likely won't be able to get a post a day like I use to.

I apologize to about the lot of 9 of my followers that actually read up on my projects everyday.

So today's shot is going to be the beginning of a series. I plan on(not sure when I'll finish) taking pictures of the sunset ALL AROUND THE WORLD(At least 1 from every continent)! This is my first set to this goal, the sunset in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong.

If you're interested in seeing the full rez(really big) picture, it will be here.

I'd love some critique in the comment, this was my first time doing HDR. and if you're interested in this seriest, feel free to +watch me on DeviantArt(for all you deviants out there) cause there will definately be more to this series!

Reague of Regends?!

My friend and I have been spending nearly a month working on this script(actually, just a couple days out of the month). Now we finally have a rough draft. We now at least know WHO the characters are, and what they're doing. I'm hoping to refine this to a working script by the end of the month, and I can shoot this in August.

::Background::
My friend and I were discussing how the League of Legends community is pretty awesome
I swear Vayne stole OUR dance!

but as we were discussing it, I realized the general conversation we had during a game was like this :

"Me(Katarine) : WATCH ME KS YOU ALL MUDAFUKA!
Him(Caitlyn) has scored a triple kill
Me: I hate you SO much.
Him: U Mad, bro?"

so after collecting some of our dialog, I talked him into helping me put together a little web short.


If you guys are interested in following this project, follow me here or subscribe to my youtube channel, I'm most likely going to be posting it there.
Look forward to reading your thoughts about this in the comments.

Regrets.

::Side track from my actual projects::
This has got me thinking about my life.
The top 5 regrets people had on their deathbeds.
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.




I try to life my life with no regrets, one that is true to myself and I think I did a pretty good job.
I try my best to enjoy myself, but I feel as if I've accomplished nothing, or very little.
I can make a small list of things probably only I have experience/can do that makes me unique, but that doesn't make me feel better. It actually makes me feel worst because I think of all these other unaccomplished people..
Reading that article, I feel even now,
that I have failed to have the courage to live the life true to myself,
how I stupidly worked so hard on things that didn't matter, and was how I'm not working hard enough of things that does, but I don't really 'regret it' all these mistakes that I've made, if I had the opportunity to stop myself from doing it in the past, I wouldn't because of all the valuable lessons, I got out of it (maybe not the motorcycle accident, but I learned my lesson!)
Even now, I do not have the courage to express most of my feelings, somethings it's a bit crippling, but not 'regrettable'
I've let so many of my friends fall out of touch, but I feel as there are reasons, so no regret here.
But I don't feel I keep myself from being happy, I just feel happiness is hard to come by for me..

All this, and I've only had the opportunity to live this life for 20 years.


TL:DR
"My life might suck/be awesome, but I'm still unsatisfied"
I'd love to hear how you guys deal with regrets. Got any stories about your regrets? Share them in the comments, If you guys are interested tell me, and I'll share some of mine.
