it's me again. I have started a new phase in my creative live: Illustration! please visit my new website <a href="http://gemmadriessen.com/">gemmadriessen.com</a> I have worked really hard on my new website and it looks really good in my opinion :) . I am currently open for commissioned work so if you are looking for someone to make you a birth announcement card, a logo, a drawing of a whale riding a motor bike because you are really into that for some reason, or whatever please don't hesitate to contact me (see contact page on my site) :) I am also starting a new blog about drawing and illustration over there. :)<br />

Hi guys,<br />
this summer I went to Finland to visit my friend Emma. (read about it <a href="http://gemnem.blogspot.nl/2014/08/my-vacation-to-finland-photodump.html"><u><b>here</b></u></a>). Emma and I both like blogging, and so we decided to create a new blog, together. I will be posting about the same things I have been posting here, though I'd like to make it a little more personal. The blog is still very young and a tiny bit under construction but I feel like it's ready to be shown to the world. I would love it if you guys take a look there! And maybe follow along.<br />

Wanna make photos like the one below? Then I have 7 great tips for you. These are things I learned during photography and from other articles like this. Depth of field is the the area that is in focus in your photo. So Wen you have a shallow depth of field only your subject is in focus, when your depth of field is very big, everything is in focus. Not all of the tips work with phone camera's, but hey there is a reason people buy fancy cameras. So lets get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxq5SQcxD1CWPXEeekWQMfX3QcjIDihSsF-6uTfV9iDWIWMrPaCTOB9RV7kEdDRKf4xkQC2DdAzCoTbL22mLdY9dhZ4Z-Y__2W-LSI7sbI77vAn_KEP8yLppqjxu_AmqR_IVUGrRBggOc/s1600/unsharp+backgeround.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxq5SQcxD1CWPXEeekWQMfX3QcjIDihSsF-6uTfV9iDWIWMrPaCTOB9RV7kEdDRKf4xkQC2DdAzCoTbL22mLdY9dhZ4Z-Y__2W-LSI7sbI77vAn_KEP8yLppqjxu_AmqR_IVUGrRBggOc/s1600/unsharp+backgeround.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUL3orAxSD5QWa9mM82Fs5DPEi6S_xEMFdWTe34QJvp77yP1zCn2s9fpmofXXZ9bLfOQTgjLl0ABH5JvFnpZQNpNw7zIdoTvJLzQpH5ZBm55BcMcXEXqo3lSeGKIz25iz2A6Lvw0hrTms/s1600/aperture+size+%2526+depht+of+field.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUL3orAxSD5QWa9mM82Fs5DPEi6S_xEMFdWTe34QJvp77yP1zCn2s9fpmofXXZ9bLfOQTgjLl0ABH5JvFnpZQNpNw7zIdoTvJLzQpH5ZBm55BcMcXEXqo3lSeGKIz25iz2A6Lvw0hrTms/s1600/aperture+size+%2526+depht+of+field.jpg" /></a></div>
1. Aperture<br />
The aperture controls the amount of light that can come through your lens, it consists of blades that can narrow the 'hole' in your lens. You can see it in the pictures above. The size of the hole is indicated by the f-number, the smaller the number the bigger the hole (this might be a little confusing at the beginning). So f/4,5 is bigger than f/29. The size of your aperture influences the depth of field. You can see this in the photos on the right. So if you want everything blurry except for your subject, choose a low f-number.<br />
<br />
All DSLR's have an option to set the size of the aperture, mostly its called aperture priority mode or just A. Some compact camera's have this option too, Phones however never have this function because they have a fixed aperture. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPNpBpEqiPpKeBy7wcpBvFMUJyLmSPhAWqvWEvu-Nbd3AoPZgxPFzJ3YSdFC2g0EV97GXrnzqiCZDzWhlPoXh-j0q2uc8prhmKA2aUM3_9eB-NIr-pg7tNo2GhJVhhPQ9YJ03h-uf3SQ/s1600/get+closer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPNpBpEqiPpKeBy7wcpBvFMUJyLmSPhAWqvWEvu-Nbd3AoPZgxPFzJ3YSdFC2g0EV97GXrnzqiCZDzWhlPoXh-j0q2uc8prhmKA2aUM3_9eB-NIr-pg7tNo2GhJVhhPQ9YJ03h-uf3SQ/s1600/get+closer.jpg" /></a></div>
2. get close to the subject<br />
The closer you get to your subject the blurrier the background will become.<br />
<br />
3. create a bigger distance between your subject and the background<br />
This will make the background less in focus and therefor less sharp.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthK19EHjiVVcHzaTfmiZVVqO0xwyZ4jmmbvpWyyMXQYCXzWaczFZXoEvJi_zVg_FR8kAaB3i5okTj3tBsju-tk0ldDBKHWy6mELJN_d7dA5AsiQJhFBTLRbRiR9qqhvLiv86mUOXyQCo/s1600/zoom+in.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthK19EHjiVVcHzaTfmiZVVqO0xwyZ4jmmbvpWyyMXQYCXzWaczFZXoEvJi_zVg_FR8kAaB3i5okTj3tBsju-tk0ldDBKHWy6mELJN_d7dA5AsiQJhFBTLRbRiR9qqhvLiv86mUOXyQCo/s1600/zoom+in.jpg" /></a></div>
4. zoom in<br />
When you zoom in on your subject the effect will be similar to getting your camera closer. This only works with optical zoom (when your lens gets larger) and not for digital zoom (the thing phone camera's do when they zoom in). Digital zoom is just cropping your photo and doesn't change anything about the depth of field.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXL7Z4EEnjoxgi1fIV0cYz4R7sTCsZ5ASmGdW3W0RdaeH3PhjjxKOkBuZEFisbHTsAacXySEMQekHJ6F2GDp0eToDYU1UIHWa7r5s4TSrr6Rs5ES90D1ntuARYyhYCX-1XCW0SDW4lY-c/s1600/size+of+sensor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXL7Z4EEnjoxgi1fIV0cYz4R7sTCsZ5ASmGdW3W0RdaeH3PhjjxKOkBuZEFisbHTsAacXySEMQekHJ6F2GDp0eToDYU1UIHWa7r5s4TSrr6Rs5ES90D1ntuARYyhYCX-1XCW0SDW4lY-c/s1600/size+of+sensor.jpg" /></a></div>
5. get a camera with a bigger sensor<br />
The size of your sensor has huge impact on your photo quality, and also on the depth of field. The bigger the better. Phone cameras have really small sensors, compact camera's a little bigger onces and DSLR's have quite big onces. In the picture you can see the different in sizes of phone and slr camera sensors. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRj3MU4mFOpBgXLMQqtUG2BFVCLxEhyiK18jj7a4EwxA-IBJuZ8wp9QmBEp_UB-zJEH3yNVDHBitt3EeyXvgUf47yXuFywhPwfTjf_FVq2aHbQWHFu1cDzarLjkE7AXbgCxDQAJHshKw/s1600/editing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRj3MU4mFOpBgXLMQqtUG2BFVCLxEhyiK18jj7a4EwxA-IBJuZ8wp9QmBEp_UB-zJEH3yNVDHBitt3EeyXvgUf47yXuFywhPwfTjf_FVq2aHbQWHFu1cDzarLjkE7AXbgCxDQAJHshKw/s1600/editing.jpg" /></a></div>
6. Editing<br />
You can also blur your background with some photo editing. You can do it with photoshop, instagram, picmonkey and numerous other apps and programs. But as you can see in the photo above is the blur different. Personally I think real blur to be much prettier. With real blur I mean blur that is created by using one of the other options in this article.<br />

7 free lensing<br />
Free lensing is an awesome technique you can try with cameras that have interchangeable lenses. I wrote a post about <a href="http://submarinesandsewingmachines.blogspot.nl/2013/01/diy-free-lensing-also-for-sony.html#"><u>how it works</u></a> a while ago. Free lensing can make the depth of field very narrow. It has the same result as a tilt and shift lens but those are quite expensive. <br />
<br />
I hoped this helped you guys! If you know an other technique on getting a shallow depth of field please share it in the comments, I'd love to learn more!gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459309660164252733.post-56751239650559302272014-07-03T16:52:00.000+02:002014-07-03T17:00:33.623+02:00how to give your camera a pretty wooden look<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://submarinesandsewingmachines.blogspot.nl/2012/03/diy-customize-your-phone.html"><b>The very first DIY that I wrote</b> </a>was about customizing your phone with some contact paper. I still had some of that pretty wood printed contact paper waiting to be used. When I saw <b><a href="http://scription.typepad.com/blog/2012/11/canon-f1-in-wood-interpretation.html#.U7VXHXY_iDQ">this camera</a></b> on pinterest I thought "omg that's so pretty!" and then I thought "hey I can make that too" and than I discovered that the pretty pinterest camera was a craft by someone. Anyway, If you have a camera at home that can use a little makeover you should totally try this. And its not permanent at all you can just remove it, but it stays on pretty well if you do like it.

Okay, why would you want to shoot film when there are digital camera's out there? I'll tell you, it's much more fun! I love the look of those vintage camera's and the look of the photo's. And the surprise element of it is also fun. You don't know what the photos you took look like until they're developed. But were to start, and how does all this stuff work? I'll share some tips here for you guys.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Well the first thing you'll need is a camera. There
are so many different types of camera's. They all look different and 90%
of them looks awesome, but there is also a big percentage of camera's that are broken. Here are some tips on how to get one that suits you for an affordable price. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-Where to get a pretty vintage camera- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They
don't sell these things in the supermarket so where to get them? Flea
markets are great, but you have got to be a little patient, finding one
can take some time. Something you should try is asking your friends and
family if they have an old camera somewhere in there house. They
probably didn't use it for years and are happy someone els can have fun
with it and give it to you for free. Most old cameras aren't worth much.
Personally I would never buy a camera for more than 20 euros unless it's
really special. I advice not to buy them online, because these camera's
are mostly a bit overpriced and you can't check if they are not broken.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-what kind of camera do you want?-</span></div>
All that a camera has to do is project the light of the scene you want to photograph on the film. Some camera's can't do much more than that but others have a lot of options and buttons. Don't be afraid when you see a camera with a lot of buttons. When you're a beginner in photography and don't know yet how to use shutter speed and aperture to get good photo's you probably want a camera with a automatic exposure function or one that has a build in light meter. When your camera hasn't got a build in light meter <a href="http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2011106152612113.pdf"><b>this</b></a> might come in handy. SLR camera's are really nice to work with because you can see though the lens, this enables you to focus more precisely. When you can't look trough the lens focusing is just guessing. There are also simpler camera's with a fixed focus, like Polaroids, which means you can't focus, but mostly you get pretty sharp images anyway. So ideal for beginners is a SLR camera with a auto exposure mode. I wouldn't advice a Polaroid or other instant cameras because the film for them is so expensive, although they are much fun.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-What kind of film do you need?-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So you have an awesome camera, now you'll need some film for in it. There are a few things to pay attention to:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Size:</u> Film can come in quite some sizes, the most camera's use 35mm film. That are the ordinary film cannisters. This is the type of film you can still buy in some shops. In almost all 35mm film canisters there is room for 36 photos. Then there are bigger 120mm film rolls or medium format film. There are also a lot of camera's that use this type of film. Mostly there fit about 12 photos on each roll. There are more types of film but I have no experience with them and they are much more rare than these two sizes. When you are a beginner or can't develop your own film I advice to stick with the 35mm film and with a 35mm film camera. The type of film a camera shoots is also an important thing to pay attention to when selecting a camera. There are places where they do sell and develop other film sizes but they are harder to find. </div>
<u>ISO:</u> Besides different sizes of film there are more things to pay attention to when selecting film. One thing is the ISO number of the film, the higher the number the more sensitive it is to light. When shooting outside in daylight ISO 100 is just fine. But when you want to shoot inside a lot you might like ISO 400 film. In most cases an ISO between 100 and 400 works fine. Mostly you can turn a wheel on your camera to set the ISO number of the film you're using so that the camera knows how to expose the photos.<br />
<u>Type</u>: Then there are different types of film. There is black and withe, color and slide film. Slide film doesn't produce negatives like the other kinds of film but shows the scene in correct colors. This type of film is meant to view in slide shows, you can scan the images with a scanner to have them digital and print them. But color negative film is most ordinary to use. <br />
<b>TIP:</b> when the film package says 'develop before 1996' you can still use it. That date indicates the time that they can guarantee that the colors and stuff will come out normally. But a bit weird colors are fun so it's only more awesome.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">-How to use a vintage camera-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> So you have got that camera, and some film. Now lets take some photos! err, how? The first step is putting the film in the camera, youtube is your friend on this one. Search for 'how to load film in a ... camera' with your camera type in the place of the dots. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">And you might find a video where someone explains it. A user manual can be very handy too, if it didn't come with your camera try googeling for it. Something that helps understanding your camera too is chating with the former owner, he/she probably knows a lot about the camera. So when buying one, don't hesitate to ask a few questions about the camera. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> When you have shot your photos you'll need to get your film developed. There are still some places that do this for you. Places with photo printing cervices like some </span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">department stores often offer this service. There are also some websites that offer this and than you'll have to send your film to them, I never tried this myself. An other alternative is experimenting with developing film yourself. But I wouldn't try that until you are completely comfortable with analog photography.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>Tip: </b>don't shoot important memory's the first time you try out a camera, if something goes wrong and your photos are ruined you'll lose these important photos, and that would be pretty sad. </span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These last weeks a lot happened in my life, and when I was scrolling through my older blogposts I realized this blog isn't something I want to give up, so I thought lets update you guys! here are 6 things that I have been on my mind lately:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwRScmvjNFhyhFEILI4gBWGCS0RfUuKIZRoAHX7gAt2JdmEfUN7U-n_6Ngf3dpC_ABFPuIiQ-fsjqac6ews0BI1DU1GKbEp3M_w7PPQ77peI_jdb3qM_bvwPHa1eIHDj2XxV_x_lVVJs/s1600/school.jpg" /></div>
1. I graduated<br />
I passed my final exams, and with that finished my high school. I have been in a waldorf school for the 6 years of my high school and I have got to say that I loved it. All these years I made some great friendships. And I am definitely going to miss my classmates and the school itself, but I also look forward to the next step in my life, university. *this photo of our school building is not mine, but I couldn't find the original owner* (for architecture lovers who like to see more photos of the building just google 'marecollege leiden')<br />
<br />
2. I got selected for my study<br />
The study I chose has a numerus fixus, which means that they only let 330 students in each year. You can get in by <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="hps">drawing of lots or a talent based selection. And I'm proud to say that I am one of the 50 selected people. I'm going to study Industrial Design and Engineering at the Technical University of Delft. I am really exited because the study fits me very well, its creative but also technical. There will be a lot of change in my life the coming year, a new school, new people, a new city, and a new house cuz I'm moving out next year. A great adventure is ahead!</span></span><br />

5. I went to Portugal<br />
When the exams were over me and my friends took the plane and flew to the sunny city of Porto. Oh my we had the best time, after a busy year of learning for exams and making projects we had finally had time to completely relax. And what a beautiful city Porto is.We were there with 16 people and we had rented a cheap apartment, really everything is cheap in Porto, the food the apartments, the transport. Perfect for us :P<br />

And I love it. for most of these pics I used the <a href="http://submarinesandsewingmachines.blogspot.nl/2013/01/diy-free-lensing-also-for-sony.html#"><b>free lensing</b></a> technique.</div>
<div id="itamenu">
With free lensing you don't attach your lens to the camera, but you hold it in front of it. And when you tilt it a bit you get this great blur in some parts of the picture. It takes some practice and isn't easy at all, but the results are quite good. </div>

I finaly scanned the photo's I made with my zenit-E last summer, and I love them. And my uncle gave me his pentax camera, so all I was thinking about yesterday was analogue photography. I just love how the first photo always has this white piece. And don't you think my guy looks great in that pic. I love that it always is a surprise what your photo's will look like when shooting film. If you have a old camera laying around in your house, you should try using it once, it is awesome believe me. gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459309660164252733.post-6768344508486467502014-04-19T13:45:00.000+02:002014-05-26T11:02:36.507+02:00Happy easter, a tutorial<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy easter everyone. I hope you have a lovely weekend with your family. I made this coming-out-of-an-easter-egg photo as easter greeting this year. I was inspired by the awesome works from <b><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/joel_r/">Joel Robison</a></b> you should check out his work, its amazing. He made<a href="http://joelrobisonphoto.wordpress.com/2013/03/30/miniature-life-tutorial/"><b> a tutoria</b></a><b>l</b> on how he creates his masterpieces. This is a <b><a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/free_4_friends/60431568">Picmonkey</a></b> tutorial, and if you use this link you will get a free day of premium. <br>

There are only a few weeks of school left for me. Then there will be exams and then the glorious summer will make its way into my life. I'm going to do so many awesome things this summer, including Portugal, Finland and lots of spare time. And then I'll enter a new stage in my life, University. pam pam pam pam. I'm really looking forward to these things, and often that means I'm kind of waiting for the summer to come. I guess I should live a bit more in the moment, and enjoy my last days as a 'child' (I'll be 18 soon, and I guess that means I'm almost an 'adult'). blah blah, here are some pictures of flowers, cuz the greens in my garden are beautiful these days. I guess I'll should be studying now. hehegemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459309660164252733.post-55165886735392553012014-03-18T21:40:00.000+01:002014-03-18T21:40:10.443+01:00photo manipulations<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you might know I really like manipulated photos. I'd say
photoshopped, but I don't really agree with that term since you can edit
photos in other programs (that do not cost 600 euros) too. Anyway I
thought I'd show you some of my own works that I have not shown you
before. These are all made in <b><a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/free_4_friends/60431568">Picmonkey</a></b>, and sometimes I used Microsoft
paint too. Yay for free programs. I'll make a short note at every picture about how I created them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1uZrvNfR9mE0S7KFZYZDlWOHoHKNFhNgsGyF51fWa6F8htRDLqWP5pxq3ZEoxEXIYO83vyhJ2hV1OzYW8P9h_iV1Ed0hRdAVoQ6-2ghRGIDOQ-Ti75O2V6aD4OM4mt2WXpeoJbP18E4/s1600/z+cirkel+stuff+600.jpg" /></div>
-for this one I opened one photo in picmonkey and than added the same photo as an overlay. I fliped it and then I used the circular paint/eraser brush to make this pattern. It's kind of trippy, I like it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDX99OtDzLTOTedlUgmntbHdTXX76InflQN5yIB5-BBpRhbzIZFlJjrBnG7paSJCCxp1SCgVkj-BR2sZpsWnf-dRCHP6Jp0qEdFJl6VtHrPdp3l-e9hjZkO3NSU34jIlVACkSzAhyphenhyphencEc4/s1600/z+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDX99OtDzLTOTedlUgmntbHdTXX76InflQN5yIB5-BBpRhbzIZFlJjrBnG7paSJCCxp1SCgVkj-BR2sZpsWnf-dRCHP6Jp0qEdFJl6VtHrPdp3l-e9hjZkO3NSU34jIlVACkSzAhyphenhyphencEc4/s1600/z+collage.jpg" /></a></div>
This is a photo collage, also made using the overlay option. I used 6 photos on this one. It kind of reminds me of surrealistic art. <br />

I copied this concept from a photo I am unable to find. So I'm really sorry I can't give credit for the idea. I used Microsoft paint to make the triangle shapes, then uploaded those in picmonkey as overlays and adjusted them a bit. </div>

I always get so happy when the first warm days of spring arrive, and the sun rays warm your skin so gently. <br />
ps. I reached the 100,000 views, thanks everybody and especially <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/"><u>picmonkey </u></a>for putting me on their front page a little while ago, that really helped. <br />

woah who's that?! Don't be afraid, it's just me the person who vanished from the Internet, and probably will disapear again.<br>
It's been a while since my last post, and in that time happened some things. I have been incredibly busy with a project for school. It was a major project in which I invested 75 hours, it was a project about photography. I made my own camera and darkroom supplies (including the chemicals) from very common stuff, like instant coffee and ducttape. If you'd like to know more about this click the like to see more button. <br>
here is a photo I made with my self build (pinhole) camera. <br>

But that project was finished weeks ago. Right now it's winter, or at least it should be, where I live there hasn't been a single snowflake nor daytime freezing. We had the warmest December since ever. But I'm not that much into cold weather anyways so I'm not sad or anything. hehe. I have been to Keulen and Bonn in Germany. That was awesome. Although life can be busy I am happy. I noticed that doing nothing doesn't yield happieness. I was longing for having nothing on my to do list, but when that time came it was just empty. One or two days off are great but if I have longer vacations I really need to keep myself active. But whatever. I wasn't unhappy or something just a bit bored. <br>
Well I guess I'll continue being busy learning for my exams for now.<br>
<br>
bye,<br>

<br /></div>
I'm going to The tallest man on earth! I had bought the tickets quite a while ago but I haven't told you till just now. It's going to be so much fun, if you follow my blog you probably already know that <a href="http://submarinesandsewingmachines.blogspot.nl/2013/06/oh-sometimes-blues-is-just-passing-bird.html">I love his music.</a> I'm going to the concert with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timefortimxd/">my boyfriend</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/ankevromen/">a friend</a>. <br />
<br />
lately I'm pretty busy with school n stuff, thats why I'm not posting that often anymore. But my life is going pretty well, It just took me some time to get in the school rhythm again. I've been writing some poems lately, in dutch so I'm not going to share them. yesterday I had a very happy moment playing banjo at sunset in my backyard. And the photo above is from a little feather collecting photo trip I had last week. And I love listening to the new vinyl record I bought, The last waltz from The band. I can find some happiness in these things, and even though I have some bad days too I think my life is quite enjoyable at the moment, a little busy but enjoyable. gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459309660164252733.post-31826915738900978062013-09-27T17:02:00.003+02:002013-09-27T17:02:52.009+02:00Danse Serpentine<div style="text-align: center;">

Last week in my art history class at school our teacher showed us this video. It shows Loïe Fuller performing the Danse Serpentine. The thing that I think to be so awesome and inspiring about it is that this was filmed with an analogue camera in 1896 and afterwards the individual pieces of film where painted. And they made her dress shifting colors. It is just so awesome that they did these things in 1896. I'd love to do something like this once, If I only had a film camera and and a lot of spare time... <br />
<br />
this idea stuck in my head this entire week so I thought lets share it with you guysgemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459309660164252733.post-92132432294420928572013-09-13T22:51:00.001+02:002013-09-13T22:51:30.613+02:00monthly tunes september<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

that September in the rain, that song by Norah Jones is perfect for this month. Rain there is a lot of that stuff. A little too much if you ask me, but I shouldn't complain. Here are some songs I do love this month. I hope you enjoy them.<br />

the last weeks of my vacation consisted of hanging out with friends and Tim. Me and 3 friends of mine went camping at the seaside for three days, it was a lot of fun. And a few days ago I bought a vinyl record player, for only 8 euros, oh how I love flea markets. finding something at a flea market you where searching for a long long time is a really happy moment to me. my dear summer holidays, I am going to miss you. I only got 2 school less days left before my senior year starts.</div>

I had my film developed a little while ago, and today I'm sharing some of the pic's I made with you. I used my zenit-E to make the photos. there where none failed pictures, that made me happy in the first place. I really like this camera, I got it from a friend. the SLR camera has been made in the USSR a long long time ago (about 40 years). The thing that I love about it is that it works without a battery, but it does has a light meter. when you want to take a picture, you first have to focus, that check the light meter than adjust your aperature and shutter speed, than pull the leaver for a new piece of film and then finally you can make the picture. A lot more work than with a digital camera but I think it's fun. (I can talk about camera's all day but I'll stop for now)<br>

It has been a while since I posted a tutorial, since I have been away a lot lately, but here is a new fresh DIY post for you guys. Its about making a note or sketch book with a vinyl record sleeve as cover. I really like these little books and had fun making them. It is a good back to school project, but makes a great gift too! <br>

But here are ten new tunes of this month. since I have been on vacations a lot this summer I haven't listened to music that much so there are some all time favorites of mine like Ben Howard and Laura marling. I hope you enjoy them.</div>

last two weeks I went to buitenkunst, it is a camping in a pine wood. And it is one of my favorite places in the country. the awesome thing about it is that there are art workshops every day. I did some painting, singing, writing, and I even made a little animation film. I had a lovely time, the first week I was with my mum and sister and a friend of hers, and the second week I was with my little darling. It has been so inspiring to see other peoples work and just to be free of any <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">obligations (except for washing the dishes) and just be creative. </span></span>gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03317746768250231629noreply@blogger.com1
