Stuff in and around the house part 1

Its quite fascinating that every little thing that is around your house can be a seen as a beautiful object in varying lights, i mean the surrounding the way they look when its bright and sunny (which is bit rare in Birmingham ;)), when it is raining or when it is cloudy. I prefer the weather when its quite cloudy, because i think it gives a nice dull and dark look its just my view. I know most of them like it bright and sunny, I am not a big fan of sun considering the fact i am from India and I have hated sun for most of my life :P :P
Well anyways recently i have fallen in love with the black and white pictures. So here is a bunch of pictures which show the stuff in and around my house during day/night in a black & white view.

These are stuff around my house mostly taken through my window on a rainy day , i hope my neighbours do not think i am either a stalker or a spy coz they keep seeingg me with my camera through my window hehehe!!!
There is a part 2 to it, i dint want to annoy people by adding way tooo may pictures at once ;)

before i could upload the pictures, i will thank my friends for being my lab rats hehe :)
and here are the rest of the pictures from the best lot!!!
I loved the multi exposure of the first 4 pictures below

This Picture turned out pretty awesome, i mean people who see it as a picture might not understand

. As you can see there's a chuch and a sign board in the pictures, these are actually on the opposite side of a road. :D :D

I think

Now thats my face, when it comes to taking my picture i either panic or laugh tooo much!!!! Soon i am going to try out some self portrait kind of pictures and hopefully get over the fear of being photographed alone hehehe!!!

10 rules of Lomography!!!

I think its important to understand the basic 10 rules of Lomography!!!!

Here they are:

Take your LOMO everywhere you go.
Use it anytime - day or night.
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
Shoot from the hip.
Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
Don't think.
Be fast.
You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
You don't have to know afterwards, either.
Don't worry about the rules.

First Batch of pictures from my Diana mini

Here's are the pictures which i was supposed to upload long back.
These are the first trial pictures of my first lomography camera, Diana mini. The film used is 35 mm Lomography colour negative 800 iso and the film was developed at Jessops - Birmingham, as i was not sure where to get the film developed and printed. The pictures came out quite well except for the ones i used colour filter gel with the flash, i assume since they print in the manual machines which adjusts the colour when printing the pictures it might have done its part of damaging the colour. Now that i have found 2 places where they specialize in lomography printing, i will try it next time.

The reaason why i fell in love with the lomograpghy is as you can see it gives it a very dinstinct dark edges like a vignetting effect.

These ones are taken with the rectangular frame.

I was kinda trying to take a self portrait, i need to try it out with a tripod. ;)

This one is the one with a flash and red colour gel

filter, as you can see its not exactly how it is supposed to be.

A bit of multi exposure.

The next batch of pictures from my first trial will be uploaded sooon ;)

correct me if i am wrong?

Apparently the literal meaning of photography is art of producing the images of an object on a photosensitive film. Yesterday, i was checking out some websites on photography, cameras and photo contests and realized ofcourse all the pictures were taken by DSLR. Out of all the pictures i would have seen, i would say most of it was photoshopped to enhance the colour, saturation, sharpness, contrast, noise, colour balance, filter; You name it you can adjust it.

My question is what is the originality in the picture? are'nt you supposed to capture what you see? and not edit what you capture!!!!!

I do not mean that it is not real they actually look very impressive, but it looks superficial at times. Things in the world are not perfect and you got to see the beauty through its imperfections.
"Correct me if i am wrong?" about what i just wrote and I seriously appreciate your thoughts and comments :)

By the way i do not have anything against DSLR or Photoshopped pictures, its just a question / doubt which passed throught my thoughts when i was restless ;)

Restless child???

Well if you were ever so bored and are wondering why i have named the blog as a restless child... its simply due the fact i talk too much and ask way lots of questions, so this friend of mine calls me a restless child and to give credit to the person who always calls me a restless child hehe..... I now present

"Miss. Stella Daniels" *applause* appreciate you and acknowledge you *applause*

Initially I was thinking of naming the blog as "questions/thoughts of a restless child" but what the heck i aint questioning nobody or thinking anything.... Its all about pictures as they say a picture speaks a thousand words.... so let my pictures speak for them selves rather than me babbling or rambling away to glory....

Concert

Here goes another update!!!!
I had been to Ozzfest on 18th September 2010 in London. Ozzy osbourne, steel panther, Korn, Murder dolls and Skindred performed, the whole concert was amazing and I loved every bit of it. I took loads of pictures and videos and as i was in the level 2 and close to the stage i could get a nice view of the stage aswell as the audience. I took some pretty decent pictures compared to my concert pictures. These were taken with my Nikon s52 digital camera.
These are the best pictures of the lot!!!!
