4 days 'till christmas shots

---

to the anonymous person who left a comment of the previous post, thanks for the kind words. i don't usually reply to strangers, but since binola mo ako, at dahil i easily fall for those who make bola to me, here's some notes about the shots -

first and foremost, both shots were made possible because of the flash (i'm eternally grateful to mads and kuya aries for this!). i directed the flash pointing upwards and placed a white piece of paper, on top of it, so the light only bounces to the subjects, not directly hitting them.

below are the camera's setting

for joana's shot
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/3.2
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO Speed: 800

for louraine's shot -
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/3.2
Focal Length: 24 mm
ISO Speed: 800

both of the photos were edited using lightroom version 1.2 (for color altering) then in photoshop cs3 for slight blurring (using gaussian blur) and for the borders.

hope this helps.

merry christmas!
