My New Phone

I got a new phone. I bought it from my older brother. It's very cheap that's why I'm so happy. :)  Though I'm missing the features of my old cellular phone . I guess, as soon as I get used to it, I'll be more happy and satisfied.

This is how it looks. :)

My First Encounter with Lightroom 3

I have always wanted to have my computer installed with Lightroom 3.  I've been hearing good things about this and I can't wait until I get my hands on it.  It was just recently that I had a firm attempt to look for a free version of this because I can't afford to buy this kind of software.  Though I failed to have a copy of a free full version, I'm still thankful that I got the trial version.  At least I can edit as many photos as possible for the next 30 days. :)

It was yesterday when I finished downloading the Trail Version of Photoshop Lightroom 3.3.  it took me 8 hours to finish downloading.   Thanks to the slow internet connection that we have.  Anyway, I am still happy I finished downloading it.  I was beyond excited to see how it works because I heard that it's very simple yet elegant photo-editing software.   I'm still familiarizing myself with this.  It's really amazing.  I love it.

Here’s the first output that I made using Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4.



Here is the original photo that was taken at Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines.



This is the photo that I edited using the Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4

I love how it added drama on this photo.   Another thing that I love about this is that it's not on the preset of Lightroom.  It's a customized effect that was brought about by my curiosity.  I think it's  not yet that superb because I'm still on the exploration phase.  Wait until I mastered it. :)

First Wedding Invitation that I Made

Our Company Cashier, Ate Malen, asked me if I can do her a favor.  She asked me to design the wedding invitation of her nephew's wedding.   Ate Malen, being sweet and very accommodating to my out of schedule requests, I said yes.

At first I was hesitant on what to do.  I was not confident enough to design something that is so important to people.  Imagine, that is a wedding invitation and an amateur artist, if I may say, will do the design.  Luckily, with the help of some research, available free Photoshop brushes that can be downloaded from the internet and the creativity I have, I was able to layout the wedding invitation quite nicely.

Here's the final design that I made.  I was glad that the couple liked it.

 * I did not include the wedding entourage.

Today is their wedding day.  May they have a meaningful and happy married life.
