Ho-Oh

I should take my donation back anyway.

I'll take my donation back.

If I had a Chillarmy plush, I'd be able to do that now.

It was already released, so...

I haven't seen anything about Chillarmy on Serebii.

Where should I look?

I changed my name to Milo, remember?

Yay xD

All right xD

But the profile picture looks a bit weird.. Guess I can live with that.

What Siggy said~

Your profile has... shrunk. I think xD;

This is a weird-ass profile.

I like it :D

I MADE IT!

NOT FOR ME! ;~; IT'S STILL THE SAME DAY HERE!

No, ILY.

But I NEED TO KNOW what it was going to be again. ;D

Yeah I guess I should.. haha..
And nawh.. I was just flipping around with the camera settings and the lighting. One I took with a lamp on next to it, and the other was just my room-light with a longer exposure..

A cool thing you can do in photoshop with the regular camera.. is that if you want more depth of field.. just use the blur tool and blur out the background a bit so that your point of interest stands out more. I dunno if I'd consider it technically cheating.. because just cause you don't have the big bucks to get your desired effect, you have the eye for it and just show your vision by using a different process, you know?

But yeah.. I had some unsuccessful ones.. like http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b314/ichigo_kura/Kura2/Christmas2010/DSC_0270.jpg isn't as good.. but with digital it's so easy to take a whole bunch in different settings and then just choose the ones that you like best :3

Hopefully you can get a new camera soon. Do you have boxing week? There are some crazy sales going on here for regular digital cameras.. you can get something like a sony with 3x zoom and 10 megapixels for like $60 .___. It's crazy..

Thank you! I only recently got a dslr (like a month ago) but you don't need one to take amazing photos. That's why I've been trying to give you good critiques on your photographs (rule of thirds, trying to frame your stuff better, natural pointers in the picture to the subject of interest) because I see you have the eye for interesting subjects but you need to snap your photos like as if you have a DSLR with more of the image as a whole in mind. People who don't have an artistic eye will still take "snapshot-like" photos even with an expensive camera. (Like the photos of me on my blog that my mom took with the same camera... @_@ They are very snapshot-like..)
You have an artistic eye but you need to develop it.

Basically.. you just need to keep practicing. You don't need a ritsy camera to take professional-looking photos.

Nica, my dear, do I get anything from winning the photography contest or is it just self satisfaction? XD

Just so you know, your pavlova needs more fruit on it. :D
