Tints of My Heart

Here’s my take: Old-Fashioned Coke advertisement painted on a wall.

Happy Week ahead!

Here is a series of photos that Hubby took while we were hanging outside the chapel of the Pink Sisters convent. Hubby used the auto-child mode and I tweaked the photos using the Itty Bitty New Color, Lighten Up and Light B&W actions.

I love my son’s smile and how his face can be so expressive at times. Look at this last photo, nakapikit pa na parang kakagat labi… Yes, Kapuso ako eh!

There’s something about snapping the backs of my boys really excites me, feels like I’m really capturing the father & son moment. I think I still have a couple of back shots of them. LOL. I LOVE this shot. How the B&W Itty Bitty action suited the photo.

Taken by my husband during the First Christmas Eve in our New House. Love the lighting of the place and though he didn’t use the tripod… Thank God it came out clear.

The only thing that I have in mind whenever I snap photos, of course, this doesn’t always apply. Take note that I am NOT a professional and whatever I post here will be something that I read from tutorials or learned and heard from hobbyists like me, a snap bitten lady who just wants to share what I always love to do.

The RULE of THIRDS

Remember this: Don’t put the areas of interest in the middle of the photograph. Move your point of interest away from the center of your photo and onto the thirds.

What is the thirds?

In Landscape: Use the horizontal grind lines for things like horizons and where water meets land.

In Portraits: Use the horizontal grid lines for placing people’s eyes, or, in groups shots — people’s heads.

Vertical Grid Lines: Use it for placing trees, falls or just a person with a background behind them.

DON’T BE A PERFECTIONIST (which is way too hard for me, if you ask me! *laughs*)! And sometimes (not often!), it is better to have your focal point in the center of the photograph. Sample insert {courtesy of the very talented Jessica Claire}.

So there you go. I hope this was helpful. So grab your camera and try it. You’ll see what difference it makes. Good luck!

Just testing the new site… Hopefully, I will have tons of photos to share and will have tons of visitors as well.
