Ace Japanese photographer teaches us how to take sexy pictures of girls’ legs. I’m going to go ahead and get out in front of this one by assuring you I’m not in the least bit sexist and I don’t condone objectifying women in photographs and magazines. Besides, my mother and sister would literally obliterate me from the face of the earth if I ever did or said anything untoward in regards to the female sex.
That said, I think we can all agree that the female form is a thing of beauty – while the typical male body in general looks something like an extremely hairy potato that’s been sitting out for too long – and if you’re going to photograph girls, they deserve to be photographed right. So it was with open ears that I listened to ace photographer Yuki Aoyama‘s advice for taking sexy pictures of girl’s legs. Please use this advice responsibly and only take leg shots of girls who have given express permission; especially in Japan, there are way too many guys who think a girl just wearing a skirt equates to permission and we can assure you it most definitely does not.

It will put your place within the universe in to perspective and remind you just how small and insignificant we all are. The sad part is that most people have never seen it.
Over half of our planet’s population lives in cities where seeing the Milky Way is all but impossible. Even when people get out of the city and have a good view of the stars, they usually don’t focus on them long enough to find the Milky Way. Research, Research, Research Benjamin Franklin said so brilliantly that, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. The Milky Way by Hemispheres The Milky Way is only visible in your respective hemisphere during certain months of the year. Don’t Forget the Moon! The moon can make or break your Milky Way shots.

These portraits show the dramatic effect of good lighting on changing perceptions of people's appearances. Cogito Ergo Sum, I think, therefore I am. A clever man, was Descartes, especially considering that he was grappling with the very nature of reality.
A spot of Philosophy now, how much of what we see, smell and hear around us can we trust to be one hundred percent truthful? How do we know that what we perceive is reality? The simple answer is (if you can call it simple) that we don’t. You and I haven’t a hope of discerning what is really real beyond what our sense tell us, perception is reality, what you see is what you get.
Enough mumbo jumbo. Petrovski’s statement that accompanied the project at the time: ‘I perceive and I assume I can distinguish between true perception and false perception. When we asked him about the project recently, he had this to say: ‘I made this series of images to deal with my own struggles of perception. I don’t think the project has had any significant effect on people. It’s curious stuff, and since then Petrovski has grown and developed as a photographer.

Derek Ridgers On Jan. 13, 1973, Derek Ridgers remembers pushing his way through the crowd at Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert, climbing over the fence and joining the press to photograph the rock legend. At the time, Ridgers worked in advertising and was surprised how easy it was to fake being a press photographer.
He quickly realized a camera could help him approach his heroes and idols; he has been photographing famous bands and musicians ever since. Ridgers, however, didn't focus his camera solely on the stage. In 1976, he turned his attention toward another group of people: a loud and energetic crowd of punks. “What could be more photogenic then punks in clubs?” He asked. From 1978 to 1987, Ridgers would go out up to three times a week to Billy's, Blitz, Taboo, Electric Ballroom, or other iconic clubs based in East or North London. Derek Ridgers Although Ridgers’ book spans 10 years, that wasn’t the end of his longing to capture the punk scene.

Go big or go home You don’t want an image with tiny light trails. Get as low as you can, and as close as you can safely, to the traffic. 2.

To create an interesting abstract image of light trails, put yourself in a position where the lights from the cars are the only light source. When you open the photo on your computer, increase the exposure of the light trails while keeping the black areas black. 4. 5.

With an hour long portrait session photos with the sunset over and over can sometimes get a little repetitive.

MICHAEL WOLF PHOTOGRAPHY. Frisbeecam Records the Ultimate First-Person View. How to make a multiple exposure portrait | iPhone Photographer. By request for Suzanne. This is gonna be a crude how to from my phone since I’m 400 miles from my mac. Bare with me :). First, I chose an unedited selfie I took of myself on a mountain a few days ago. Once I knew what I was going to try and create, I needed a photo of some branches. I only wanted my face from the selfie, so I opened up PS Touch and used scribble select to make a selection of my face.
After it makes a selection, you can keep using green and red to fine tune the selection. Once you’re happy with the selection, tap the bottom right to add a new layer from selection. I deleted the bottom layer and saved my extracted head by itself. You can try to blend images in PS touch, but I like imageblender better. Next, I cropped tighter in Snapseed to get a composition I liked. I tuned the image in Snapseed, by adjusting the contrast, ambience, and brightness just slightly. Like this: Like Loading...
