Pentax

Pentax, originally uploaded by Amanda Flagg.

This was taken with my father's Pentax 55mm film camera. I took a picture of my friend in a dark room lit by the kitchen. I then attempted to double expose the photo with some blurry lights on top. Instead of cranking the film all the way, I only advanced halfway. I am unsure what the second picture was, but this is my favourite so far.

Taken from my first roll of film from the Pentax.

Steve & Tristan Engagement Photos

I was lucky to have the opportunity to shoot my first engagement shoot a few weeks back. I met with Steve & Tristan at Deer Lake, near the Shadbolt Centre and the Burnaby Art Gallery. They are a beautiful couple, and you can tell they are very much in love.

Here are some of the great photos that emerged from our session!

But Soon...!

I apologise to my 4 followers on the absence of any postings lately. I have gone back to classes! I am also in the process of redesigning my personal identity as well as an actual website. It will be launched in the next month, as soon as I figure out how to design it.


At least I got my logo done...

Airbrush!

I found the airbrush!

It's a gravity feed. It's a bit corroded, but it's working well for me at the moment! I finally got something done with it, too! I painted a fireman's helmet!
I was sure nervous about it, but it turned out okay in the end.

Airbrushing

I am going to buy an airbrush!



My grandfather had one, and my dad inherited it when he passed 5 years ago, but for the life of us, we don't know where the heck it went!!!

I'm painting a fireman's helmet, and two goalie masks and I want them to look as good as they possibly could be. I knew immediately when my client told me that maybe he'd like flames down the side of his fireman's helmet that I wanted to airbrush them like they do on hot rods. I know it's ambitious. I need to have it done at the end of the week. But I am stoked.

Here is the airbrush I am hoping to purchase on Monday

Wish me luck! I hope I can figure out how to use it in time :)

The cute model is back

The cute guy is back! To model my shirts of course ;)




This one turned out REALLY nicely. I enjoyed doing that one a lot, I thought it was going to be horrendous trying to draw an aquarium, but it was actually fairly easy :) And the colours also printed really nice.

Photos!!!!


From my new 1.4/f lens I got for my Nikon D50. I missed working with that big lug. I think I need to learn how to use my lenses though! Sheesh.
Here's some good pics from the shoots I've had lately:
