Since today is kind of a special day, so many things happening, like Valentine's day, the Chinese new years, and it also happens to be my birthday, I tried to make this shot a little bit special, too.

Bought some cake from the store and some of those little candles and set them up on my balcony table.

Closed all the shades so it would be pitch black and I could work with decent exposures.

And this here is the outcome. All of a sudden the candle started going mental and releasing those sparks every now and then. Which as we can see, turned out pretty damn awesome!

So all my Flickr buddies, happy valentines to you! And happy Chinese new years, too!

As as side note, I know that "happy birthday to me" would make more sense but I just liked the way it looks.

Oh, and as for what I want for birthday... um... getting to Explore wouldn't be all that bad. xD

Week#39 Inspired by the movie- "DeathProof" by James

The idea came to me while I was watching this movie. I took the movie poster and tried to recreate it right down to the "lighted" headlights effect. I took my 1/24 scale Camaro and made the neccessary angles. Below is what the original poster looked like.

Bought a new lens yesterday! Originally I was on the market for the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, but by chance I found an ad for this lens posted on craigslist. Actually, the ad I answered was for the Sigma 10-20mm, but after speaking to the nice person on the other end of a long series of email exchanges, it turned out that the Tamron he was selling was exactly what I needed. It's comparable to the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8; however, is slightly smaller and lighter. Which I don't mind at all. If you look up the reviews it pretty much holds it own against the Nikkor version. So overall, I am very happy with the purchase, and really glad to have met the nice gent who sold it to me :)

This is for theFix My Pic Please group.

From an original by By Lauss titled, Shift the future....

I started from this fix that I first did:

www.flickr.com/photos/DCMemorialFoundation/2142328516/

You can click the link to see my descriptions there.

I then added several images of guages on new layers. I used the hue function to change colors, and added a zoom radial blur to a couple. Once the blur was done I scaled it down to give it more of a perspective. I applied these layers with hard light, and screen modes to help them blend with the image. The shots of the guages have a pure black background too. I positioned the largest one as if the logo was the hub of the guage.

Thanks By Lauss for letting me work with your awesome photo.
