Sigma 24mm f/2.8 + tripod and remote

 

Another picture I took yesterday at the same time as this one. I really like this one alot too, I managed to get the focuspoint very good and a nice expression in my eyes and bodylanguage. Also... I feel hot/good looking hahaahhaha! [sometimes one is allowed to do that ;)]

 

Btw, it is very hard to get the focuspoint right when you use a lens with no autofocus. I have to sort of measure the focuspoint and take a f*cking lot of pictures, move around, measure again and shit like that. But once one succeed - it's freakin' good! Why don't I just use my 50mm?

Cause I am a fucking stubborn girl from the wildwoods of northen Sweden! haha

Have to start by stating that I do not smoke - I stole/borrowed a cigarette from Lucas [and almost burned a hole in my shirt!] Now then, why did I take such a picture? [not that I think one always needs a reason but...]

 

Well, the idea got to me a while back. I wanted a picture with a cigarette in the hand, smudged-out make-up and wet hair. Partially, I stand for the fact that I think smoking is hot. And partially I wanted to convey a dull/gloomy/sad feeling. It's been very dull and rainy outside for a few days now and I've mostly been inside/in bed doing nothing at all. I'm also a bit worried about my future and sad about my economy [hah..].

Or I just took the pic to convey a feeling and because it's hot?! Not often you'll see pictures in b/w coming from me btw...

In the future though, I could seriously be one of those women that walks around at home in a shirt to big for me and with a coffécup in one hand, cigarette in the other, sitting in the bed with my laptop editing pictures. Not a very promising/positive image of one self but...

More pictures from this series will later show up on my Flickr.

 

Today has been a terrribly slow day. Gray, rainy and I've been alone and bored. Lucas has been working and today of all days, I've missed him a lot. So today I decided to take a pic that represented my boredom and longing for him <3 We also celebrate 4 months together today - congrats on us! :D I love him incredibly much, he's the best ever and I'm so happy ^^,


Soon I shall force him to model for/with me.. hehe.

 

To use yourself as a model and want to photograph with a lens that can only focus manually... it will result into a few [very many] pictures before it turns out Somewhat like you've planned - it never turns out exactly as planned. I dilly-dallied between 2 pictures and was not completely content with any of them, but I ended up choosing this in the end.

 

Damn, my hair is really getting long.

The guitar is because I want to learn how to play it, and I have a boyfriend who's very good with it, so he's going to teach me :3. Whish me luck!

Besides, I've spent all day listening to some newly discovered music, John Butler Trio. Very cozy music, he has a nice voice and is extremely good at playing the guitar, I fell for him/them immediately.

Thinking of starting a 365 project..

The sun is shining, snow is melting and spring is finually on its way.
Yet somehow this saturday has a somewhat gloomy feeling to it.
I don't know what it is, but it's something.

Did not play WoW. Took some coffé, read The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe and re-edited an old pic instead.

Another pic + some "behing the scenes/funny pics" from when I was jumping around shooting myself out in the snow. My neighbours must think I'm a lunatic.. hah ^^"

This is what I looked like after a supercrappy morning, to little sleep and then my computer broke down.

I want my hair to grow longer now! Thanks to my friend Juxxe for the false hair, good photo-prop! :)

I had a pic in my head, inspired by Elin Ivemo, a girl who's blog I'm reading. But I need better light and perhaps not do something like this 20minutes before I need to go? XD ahah

And Qalille [the cat] refused to stay still. She does not like being lifted hah.

 

Ordered a photobook with pics of me and other stuff, will be a present for my grandma when she turns 70. Then I've been reading my book The Gargoyle and I had pizza as well. A typical sunday? ^^

Also did a new edit of an old picture

Pic from last month, newly edited [darn I look bored haha]
