Lumos

Pronunciation: /ˈljuːmɒs/ lew-mos
Description: Creates a narrow beam of light that shines from the wand’s tip, like a torch (US: flashlight).
Seen/mentioned: First seen in Chamber of Secrets and then constantly throughout the series.
Suggested etymology: Latin lumen meaning “light”.
Notes: The counter spell, Nox, extinguishes the light. The caster of this spell can cast other spells while this spell is in effect.

I loved my first Lumos photo so much I decided to do another one. This one is done with my own wand that I made myself. I sanded the wood down, stained it, sculpted the vines and flower at the bottom (which you can’t see in this photo, perhaps in a future photo haha), painted them, and then coated it in sealer to give it a glossy look and a smooth feel. However, you can’t see much of it here, there are a lot of details you can’t see, such as the rose on he bottom of the handle and the handle itself made of wrapped vines. I want to show it off more so look for it in future photos. I’m really proud of my wand so I wanna show you all! haha (:

I’m also working on another wand, it’s shaped and stained but I can’t figure out how to make the design I have in mind work quite yet. So look for that one too!

I actually had to re-shoot this whole photo because I suck and the first version of this was just horrible. The pose was off, the flowers were badly focused and I looked super creepy in a bad way in them. So when I looked at them and saw how horrid they were I thought “crap I’m going to have to do this shoot from scratch. but I’m so glad I did the re-shoot because this is just how I wanted it to be!

I hope you guys like it too!

I almost never say this so when I do, I mean it….. Lightbox this one please!!

I want to hear more from everyone. I love to hear what people think the stories are behind my photos, and I love to get feedback from everyone! So…tell me what you think the story is here. Is she simply the victim? or is she a lunatic who can’t decipher whether killing is wrong or exciting?

As I mentioned today on my facebook page, I said I missed doing self portraits. So, I told myself I would do one today.. Et Voila!

I’ve been straying away from self portraits since I bought my 50mm and my 35mm and stopped using my kit lens (18-55mm).. and I know exactly why. I don’t have a remote (and my camera doesn’t support wireless ones anyway) and so it’s a huge pain to focus everything properly. The focus can make or break a photo. If it isn’t spot on, it looks off and unrealistic, which is key! For example, this photo would look awful if every flower (which was all the same two flowers) was a completely different focus.. it took a lot of photos to get this many good shots for the flowers. So, since it’s become more difficult to focus and since I have to have room to get enough in the cropped frames I’ve been using other people more often because it’s just easier to get the photo done.

Hopefully… I’ll be able to head back towards self portraits though. I really do miss them!

Also, sorry the flowers turned out more “beard-like” than I pictured in my head. :3

The Last One You Loved on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
So me and Lori went one our favourite spots we’ve ever been (which we had only visited once before today) and we were so excited to finally get to go back after almost a year! and then we got there…..

it was kind of a disaster, me and Lori just could not figure out what we wanted to do. We had no ideas, it was cold, the sun was about 2 hours from being gone completely, it was really windy and we both had to pee. Really bad. So, I shot this hoping to get at least one photo out of it, because I was determined not to make this a wasted trip. Although this image didn’t turn out how I would’ve like it to, it’s they best I could do with the conditions. (:

also.. Wanna be super awesome!? then check out my facebook! :D and I will truly think you are awesome… seriously, who doesn’t wanna be awesome?

This location was amazing! We will definitely go back there some day. I know we will, without a doubt in my mind. Especially with the warmer weather coming up, we’ll surely use this little pond more.

Lori and I both had to take a photo at this point because it was just so beautiful! so if you want to see her slightly different version of this.. then click here. (:

This is Zara! She is a wonderful Model to work with. I’m sure that you will all see her lovely face again in my stream.

An old couple strolled though this location during the shoot (as well as other people during teh whole day). They joked about worrying that she was dead for a minute. Also, i was sitting on a muddy hill for this with only my feet on some fallen branches to hold me up. It was hilariously difficult o get up out of this position, but i managed to do it somehow. for behind the scenes photos and a BEFORE/AFTER check out my facebook!

Had an awesome shoot today with Lori and her friend (and our model) Zara, who by the way was amazing. She was so willing to do.. like ANYTHING. haha. She got in cold water for us, and changed outfits in the middle of the woods (where people walked through fairly frequently) and she was even ready to do a nude if we wanted to! So, props to Zara for being awesome. And thanks o Lori for introducing me to her. She seems really cool! And she’s a natural model! Look out for more of her in the future! I still have a few more photos with her but I’m sure I’ll also work with her again some day. (:
