My week in pictures

September 3rd, 2010

I bought watercolors this week to finish my inspiration pages that I sent of to Ashley. You can still enter her project, deadline is September 15th. For more information have a look at one of my former friday blog posts.

I did answer some questions on formspring too. And I promise I will do a new tutorial soon! Just leave me a question or message here :) .

I picked up the new photos I did with my Supersampler.

If you are looking for inspiration head over to this website. Pieter Wisse is showing 1 photographer per day until he makes it to 500! The photos shown here are by Eric Ogden.

And do you feel it too? Autumn is here already, time went by so fast.

See you soon :) !

And it’s friday again :) .

I found out that lovely Rochelle has a blog now! Her photos are amazing and reading some of her thoughts too is really wonderful. Have a look here.

Finally got another film developed, curious about the photos.

I received the monthly newsletter from Miss Aniela, a great way to keep your fans up to date. You can sign up here.

Homemade plum jam :)

A wonderful series by Lucia Pang. Have a look at her blog.

My week in pictures

August 20th, 2010

Here we go again, week 3 of my friday series :) .

This week I would like to show you one of my favourite blogs, A Beautiful Mess written by Elsie. She does a lot of very inspiring and lovely post so go and check out her blog now :) !

I discovered this photo on my bf’s camera that I took weeks ago just today. I often grab his camera (when I am too lazy to switch lenses) and forget about the photos later.

I spent a lovely day with my family because it was my sister’s birthday this past week.

Things are also going well with our photo magazine, but you can still submit your photos to our flickr group (maybe already for our next issue?). We are also still looking forward to getting your submissions to our contest, read more about that here.

And the last photo shows this cute pattern I found at Ikea.

Have a lovely weekend!

My week in pictures

August 13th, 2010

This past week was pretty busy and went by so fast. I didn’t have any time at all for taking real photos to finally finish my 365days :( . But here are some happy thoughts and phone photos from these past days, enjoy.

After seeing Eclipse some weeks ago I read the book again and started with Breaking Dawn this week. I read it for the first time more than a year ago and I was really surprised that I got so emotional about it again :) . I love these books because they make me feel like being a part of the story myself. The emotions described feel so real to me.

I also read about a great photo series Rebekka did. All the huge food is real and not photoshopped. I love when photographers put so much effort in their images. Have a look at Rebekkas blog for more information and photos.

I made a heart shaped cake with grapes this week too.

Ashley Lebedev (also known as Bottle Bell) is running a great project. Everyone can create his or her own “inspire pages” and she will make a book out of all the pages she gets. Have a look at her blog (scroll down to 7.) for more information on this project).

I drank a lot of orangeade and ate apricots also.

Have a great weekend everyone and tell me what you did this week in comments or contact me on twitter and formspring (see links on the right).

My week in pictures

August 6th, 2010

I’m very excited about this new blog feature that I will be doing every friday from now on. I will show you what I did throughout the week in just 5 pictures. I take all of these photos with my iPhone, because that’s the camera I have with me most of the time. Here are the photos from this past week, enjoy!

Together with a lovely team I got my summer project public this week. We are creating a photomagazine! For more information about that have a look at my previous blog post here.

I also found a series of beautiful images in a Magazine. This was my favourite.

I do really enjoy reading a lovely blogpost whilst having breakfast. On wednesdays my favourite is Katie’s. Have a look at her blog!

This past week I did buy a lot of cute home decor.

And just today I found this wonderful image by Luis Sanchis.

Have a great weekend :) .

My little summer project …

August 2nd, 2010

I can finally tell you what my secret summer project is :) : together with a team of lovely people from flickr I will be publishing a photomagazine soon. The magazine is called INTENSE and it’s all about showing wonderful work of talented photographers, letting very inspiring people talk about photography and get everyone out there inspired. We are still looking for great talents to publish in our first issue, so please do submit your work. For more information visit our website, twitter, fanpage or our flickr group. I would love to see a lot of my awesome commenters and favers from flickr in this magazine, so please do contact me!

I am so excited :) , this summer some really great things are happening and I am very grateful for that.

Tutorial 3/3 The huge flower

July 30th, 2010

So this is the final tutorial of my series. Have a look at the other tutorials if you haven’t already here and here. And for this tutorial just click on the images to view bigger ;) .

I started with opening the image of the flower and draging it into my already existing psd file. Then it used the transformation tool (strg + t) to rotate the image so it would fit in my hand. You may also have to resize the image with the transformation tool.

When the image was at the right place I added a layer mask to that layer.

Click on the layer mask once to make sure it is the layer you are working on and start to paint everything around the flower away with a black brush. Vary with the hardness and size of the brush and zoom in really close to get the best result possible.

In the end I did use the burn tool to create some shadow from my fingers. For this last step make sure you are on the normal layer (with the flower) again.

I hope you did like this series. If you have any questions please leave a comment or contact me via email (info@evathoeni.at) or do message me on my social profiles (have a look at the right for links). Please do also send me your images you created with using this tutorial, I am very excited to see your ideas and results.

Today is the last friday in July and from August on I will have a special blog post on fridays. I won’t give anything away yet, just be curious and come back to my blog next friday (by the latest :) ).
