Description god, i love this.
i'm kudos-ing myself on my self-proclaimed skills of editing in a lomograph style!!

I love the sense of 1970's old school hippy photography... light an incense, smoke a jay, turn up the zeppelin and bring out the 35mm! It's got that kind of mellow-stunner effect to it.. it makes me smile and reminds me that things will be cool, if you just take it easy


please, pleaseeee view this in safari, or something with good colour viewing capabilities! This one's all about the colour baby.

edit: try saving it to your desktop and viewing it or sumfin! cause honestly, some browsers are gonna butcher this.

model; the lovely kinari

Oddly enough, ACDSee Classic (used it for ages) shows the same colors as Firefox, but in Photoshop the colors do look more saturated.

Mmmm, caramel and dark chocolate, they do look yummy together. (the colors of course!).

Cute model, lovely colors, great shot!
You have passed 'have someone else model'!

Who/what was she looking at, btw?
There's a devious twinkle in her eyes...

hahah so admit it! It looks a million times better in photoshop hehehehe yayyy! goody!

YAYY! *checks off list* go me!! I'm doing a decent job at this completing the list thing! Hopefully I'm going to have some time to take more photos in the next little bit! I'm in toronto again, so inspiration, here I come

She's not looking at anything... I think she was just being a joker with meeee cause I had been taking photos of her for a few hours. She actually hates this photo.. and she hates all the ones I love. haha!

but god, she's a sweetheart and definitely a great model!

Now I'll have to find a version of ACDSee that will do the same...

That was pretty quick, too!
I'll have to post a 'some random person on the street' later on

Tell her she's wrong and she'll have to like it
Aside from that, which one did she prefer?

Not many people respond well to having a big DSLR waved in their face, and she managed to look pretty natural .

Good model good protographer, great pic!

ahhh she liked a whole bunch of other ones..
but you know, it was one of those things where all of the photos seemed consistantly 'nice'

obviously she loved them, often because she doesn't have a lot of photo 'shoots' i suppose..


but i always feel i've had a successful shoot when i get that ONE photo that's just like, BAMMM: perfect.

and this was that for me +)

Wow, I learnt something new today. I'm using IE7 on my laptop with Vista. That is scary how it stripped so many of the colors out of it.

I love how this looks; it is truly a blast from my past. I have a stack of photos from my childhood that my dad took that have that typical color wash. Love it, it truly warmed me. Very nice model you used, kudos to you both.

BTW, I'm loving the variety of posts from you lately. I like to see your talents spread across a wide range of subjects. *hugs*

hahah I knowwww some things suck eh

I'm glad you like the photo I'm a big fan of it too hehee... definitely one of the favs! I've been working with some different colour washes and techniques... this one, I think, I got dead-on for what I was trying to go for yayyy!! the onlyyyy thing I'm debating is possibly adding a bit of 'grain' or 'scratches and dust' as if they were from an actual 35mm!


ps; i'm glad you're enjoying the variety it makes me happy to know that my other photos are appreciated hehehe

i never noticed the color difference. i'm sitting here thinking "what's the prob w/ firefox? she's said that on at least two devs now." so i downloaded it, stuck it in PS under original color space, and was like "OMG! No F***ing way!" when i compared it. so LOL now i knowses.

gj as always.

p.s. who's teh friend? or did you delibrately not introduce her?

haha I know, uhg firefox butchers the colours!! and this one is sort of important for colour haha! Ahh but now you know If you're on a mac, you gotta use safari.. but I don't know what's best with a pc. try a few out hehe

I introduced her; her name is kinari one of my bests (friends)!! hehe

oopsies missed it. yeah yah did.

on PC Firefox IS the best. just not in color space. someone needs to submit a patch. i'm too lazy to do it though. i just d/l and use Bridge/PS.

Whoa... I didn't know this about Firefox... it really destroy the colors... wonder how many pictures I've never seen it's it true magnificence. I'm on a Mac, but I'm using Firefox, because some pages I enter daily, need to be in Firefox, so I just stopped using Safari!

Also RSS is better in Firefox! But, I think I'll have to open both browsers now, and enter dA in Safari!

by the way.... great editing, I love the 70's even though I was born on the 80's

take a gander at your other fav galleries.. i bet you'll like 'em so much more in a better browser haha!

thanks a mil !!!

DaPuertorican In reply to karae [2009-02-04 15:29:45 +0000 UTC]

I think I'll have switch back to Safari then! It's just... Firefox is more "ergonomic" and easier to use!

But I did see the difference, although lately... Firefox been acting funny now, specially pages like Facebook and deviantart which uses a interface like Java/Flash. Right now I have both opened, because I have too many RSS feeds I see on Firefox, plus I like the tabbing system better there.

Anyways... keeps up the great pictures and the Safari tips

Oh yeah... and MAC ROCKS!!
