Description
I always liked the cover of The Fray's "How to save a life", so I decided to take some photos with a light bulb..I really love how the reflections in the bulb turned out
THANK YOU ^Shalora for the DD!
Custom bokeh with Christmas lights hanging down from my desk.
There are tutorials for it:
either here: [link]
or:
~roseonthegrey described it on here website: [link]
=YellowEleven has got a tutorial deviation: [link]
I think I have to recut the heart maybe...and it was kind of difficult to get an even distribution of the bokeh, but I intended to keep it more or less on the top of the picture where the bulb is, so that's fine
50mm f/1.8 lens. self timer.
I love the focus I achieved in this picture!
Cutting and colorbalancing in Photoshop. I also put a purple layer on it (about 10% opacity) to make the dark/bright difference in the background a little less harsh (yeah I know there shouldn't be one at all, it's the shadow of my desk
Noise reducing due to high iso. period.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

I can't say that I have, but I have heard they put on a great live show.
I do have some of their acoustic stuff on my computer, and it sounds pretty fantatstic.

Lucky! I would like to meet him. The only famous person I have gotten my picture with is the singer from Bedouin Soundclash. Wicked, but not "the fray" wicked. haha

This is absolutely amazingly done! I always liked the cover as well, and I have to say - this is an awesome twist to it The mood in this picture, the focus, the colours, everything also feels a little like the song. Well done and keep up the good work!
