More white balance experimenting, today I fiddled with the ‘Cloudy’ setting and here are three of the results and you can click ‘em for enlargement:

I did need to do some contrast adjustment on it with Photoshop because little did I know that there’s a setting in my camera to adjust the photo’s vividness and such, my father told me that afterwards so I will be experimenting with that next.

This isn’t a ‘photo blog’, I swear, haha, my camera’s just all I’ve been playing with recently. There isn’t really a lot to photograph if you’re more or less stuck on the 6th floor unless something lands on your balcony or flies over the building.
You run out of interesting things or unable to make something interesting seeing as there is no way a horse would mysteriously find its way onto our balcony — what a sight that would be though, huh?
Anyway, earlier today a flock of gulls flying and hovering between this and the building across the street caught my attention and I thought I’d try to catch one in flight.

Although they’re more like silhouettes, I am impressed with myself for getting them in focus. The original size is over here, it’s not too big.

Recently I’ve been trying to get to know my camera better because I’ve had it for almost 2 years now and up until last week all I knew for certain was what button to press to take a picture. But last week my father explained several of its settings to me and I’ve been playing around with the white balance.

So, taken from the 6th floor, hanging slightly over the balcony ledge, this lonely hut near a basketball field in front of our building. Tele lens, fluorescent white balance and a little color/contrast adjustment since it was rather pale at first.

Click it to see all sizes and view its original size because that’s how it looks best.
