      Haha, thank you! :D

      What I do is that I use Live View and focus manually on the place where I'm going to sit or stand. :) Very simple!

      (2) did you do that? would you ever post a b/a of that photo, please? (just asking, it's fine if you don't want to post it of course :] )

      Thank you!! at first I expanded the photo,and I didnt like the grey skies, so I found a free stock image of a sunset that I put it. It was pretty simple, still I liked the result
      If I ever find the original file on my external harddisc, maybe I will :)

      This is a really interesting question. I believe if I didn't have internet when I started photographing, my style would be a whole lot different. I think flickr, and the internet in general have influenced my photography very much, maybe more than what it should. I believe somehow photography would be important to me, but I wouldn't be as good I guess. I learnt so much, and all the feedback have made me want to photograph more and more. To present my work isnt so important, I just like making photos. Its not so important for me to publish it or show it to someone else.

      I do a lot of different things when i edit. Color balance, curves.. Anything really. I select different parts of a photograph and edit them sepereatly as well as editing the overall photograph.

      Thank you ! :)

      Thank you!
      I always use to shoot the sky with the model, just i use a faster shutter speed, so the sky isnt white when i put it together in photoshop later.
      Sometimes i use skies i have shot at other times or use stock photos :)

      Thank you, I appreciate that.
      I do hope to grow more in my concepts, i feel in the 365 project I just had to smash something together without much further thought.

      It would have been better if you could tell me which photo you mean :)

      A machine that does all my homework, photos, everything so I can just sleep. And eat.

      I used to. But I have learned the last weeks that the amount of likes and favorites you have on flickr doesn't decide if a photo is bad or good. Its how you feel about it yourself, and it is so easily to let the popularity of an image decide if you should like it or not. I have had problems with this, but with time that craving for popularity has disappeared.

      Yes. But my school doesn't! Lazy school.
