You can ask questions, and I will answer them as good as I can.

I will post the already asked questions here and update the journal regularly, so that you can also read the answers to other deviant's questions. Just click on the questions, and you will be able to see the answer.
You may also ask several questions.
And now: GO!
Already asked questions that may interest you (I will only list questions that do not have to do with my personal experience like "What is your best photo?"):
How do you get the star bokeh like in http://fav.me/d5p3f7b ?

Not Another ILUyes. Not another Valentine's feature again.Not Another ILU3 months ago in Personal More Like This
Love is not only 'red, pink, hearts' and so on... This feature is just the way to tell you (and me) that love is much more than kissing your sweetheart or being sad and distressed about you don't have one. I know myself that it is way too easy to forget this and you need courage to go on being alone at this day another time. I need courage not to slip into the dark waters of depression once again. But ive realized many things about facets of love during this long year....
Cats know much more about love than humans i think.
Sometimes it is like.. you meet a complete stranger and this stranger seems so cozy and charming to you.
They're so breathtaking that you feel like falling down through round

"Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck,
when you don't go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought.
And then you can get hit with a day or an hour, or half a second, when so much happens
it's almost like you are born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet."![]()

About my post-processing...(First of all... sorry for my English...)About my post-processing...7 months ago in Personal More Like This
I am getting daily messages from people asking me what actions, automated third-party plugins, premade effects, etc.. I use when I edit my photos. Many people think that just a "click" turns a photo into an artistic product print-ready, like Instagram (and I like Instagram, it's fun but not for my artistic or professional photos).
I don't use any of these plugins/actions/third-party effects for my creations and I think all these products are useless if a person knows how to use all the features of Photoshop. These products do nothing more then Photoshop native features, but they combine functions of the program, as the 'actions' do, but in a limited way because you never have full control, there are many limitations and often they ruin the picture quality (grain, unpleasant pixels effects , etc..)
I started using Photoshop since version 6, 12 years ago, when premade effects like Topaz & company did'n't exist (I think).
Over the years I h

50 essential shooters tips: 8 and 98. If you only buy one filter...50 essential shooters tips: 8 and 97 months ago in Personal More Like This
...make it a circular polariser. This is the perfect beginner's filter, and one that will have the biggest effect on your day to day photography, giving holiday skies a vibrant blue tone and accentuating the contrast between the sky and passing clouds to afford your images greater texture. Although you can add blue to your images in Photoshop or a similar post-production editing tool, the effect is never as believable when done that way as it is when shot using a lens.
Invest in an inexpensive circular polariser to improve the blue of skies in your images.
9. Don't confine it to skies
Polarising filters also cut through glare and reflection. Use it to shoot through windows and water.
We used a polarising filter when shooting this frame to cut through reflections on the surface of the water.

It's backAfter many months of feeling uncreative and uninspired, I think my love and passion for photography is slowly coming back. Now that I finished school and got more time for myself, I'm starting to feel the urge to take photos again - something that has been lost for quite some time now. It's almost like three years ago, when I started to take photography more seriously and fell in love with it completely. I hope it stays this way, because I really missed this feeling.It's back8 months ago in Personal More Like This
