I finally got around to making and ordering my second Blurb Photo book. I have a lot of ideas for photobooks, but not enough time in the day to get them all done. Luckily, Blurb makes it relatively easy with BookSmart. They have really improved the software since the last time I made a book, including adding a photo spread, where you can have one massive photo have the span of two pages YAY
So my last book was about my mom’s adventures in the US, when she flew over to visit us. I shipped it all the way to Russia, straight from Blurb. This time the book was for me.

Animated GIFs – How to make one fast and easy- Selfie Saturday Week 19
11 
Before I go into today’s tutorial, I’d like to feature one of the submissions from the PERFECTION challenge. As usual, I loved every single photo of every single participant this week. I loved the submissions that said “I’m perfect the way I am, I don’t need to be changing myself”, I loved he submissions that said:”I don’t think I am perfect and it’s something I struggle with and therefore I won’t make any changes to my photos”, I loved the ones that made minor adjustments and the ones that went further. Honestly, that’s what is amazing about challenge like that- everyone is different.
But I’d like to bring to your attention Shalay’s submission. I think...

Perfection Link Up – Selfie Saturday Week 18

A quick post before I collapse (lol)
Here’s my submission to last week’s PERFECTION SELFIE SATURDAY
I’ve been slowly working on what will become my Pregnancy Book, which meant shooting some conceptual images when I can. It will be a mix of experiences, ultrasound images, and conceptual shots.
This shot is supposed to go somewhere in the week 6 or 7, when my nausea was at its worst.
Below is a gif of the changes I made ( aside from standard color and exposure adjustments).
The biggest change is the leg- I didn’t like how it was a bit uneven at the bottom- so I straightened it out.
Also, brightened the eyes and made them sparkle a bit.
If you’d like to know what tools I used to make them changes, please refer...

Scavenger Hunt
12 Yay! I finally had a chance to participate in Ashley’s Scavenger Hunt again.
I’m feeling slightly better so yesterday morning we took a long walk around the local nature sanctuary. I didn’t take too many pictures since it was hot and I was tired, but the ones I took were enough to participate this week.
This week’s items:
1. Natural Frame
2. Emotion
This was one of the first days that I was feeling better and just driving to the Sanctuary with windows open and music blasting was the highlight of my week. I was full of happiness and emotion. It’s great to be health (-ier)!
3. From a Flower’s point of view
4. Letters
5. Bliss
