CDO Getaway Part 2

Camera: Standard Canon 600d

Lens: Canon 50mm 1.4f

Editing: Adobe Photoshop CS5

Please Note: Some of the photos came out a little grainier than originally edited due to photo resizing & I'm too lazy to re-edit them haha.

Comments: This was just a minor attempt whilst on the plane to Australia. I had used Adobe CS5 to edit the photos, I also prefer to use Adobe Lightroom as an alternative for when I play around with colors. Majority of the photos consisted of film grain, black & whites, selective color, curves and unsharpen mask to play around with the photos. Photoshop is really fun to work with if you want to try and be creative with editing and of course, to repair photos. Thanks.

Photography + Art Inspiration

Don't you just love the creativity and dedication that people put in towards art and photography? I love browsing through different art/photography blogs and losing myself after being redirected 4 or 5 times, ending up on random blogs from Bristol, Amsterdam, California or anywhere around the world. What I appreciate the most looking at photography blogs in particular is firstly the landscape; growing up as a child I always admired great scenery. Growing up in the suburbs, I didn't have much visual stimulation surrounding me. So when I started to visit more picturesque locations, my appreciation for architecture and natural scenery grew, hence my passion for travel was then instilled. 

Understanding the story behind art has always been a mystery also, because it's only the artist's themselves who truly know the story behind their work. Art comes in different shapes and sizes and every artist has their own particular style which makes them so unique. I'm really fascinated when I see a picture that portrays a story to me that when I ask for a second opinion, it's a completely different representation again. But thats the whole idea with art, its based on your own opinion and theres no right or wrong answer.

I've always said to myself though, once I've mastered photography - as in a point where I'm fully satisfied, I'll then soon one day travel and explore the rest of the world. Hmmm, I'd probably start from the hidden forests of Thailand then backpack my way through to the U.K. But for now, I'm stuck with admiring photos on the internet. Tell me what you think of the pictures I picked.
