Day 13 - Mother Nature

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 01:29:00 +0000

I did not feel well today.

I guess it is because allergy, hay fever, or sick... I am not sure.

While I was in bed for a nap, I was thinking about today's picture.

Themes are Architecture, Mother nature, or sweet dreams.

You know... I could just take a picture of me sleeping (pretend :P),

or I could be more creative if i want to.

But the only thing i could think of was.... a night sky with stars!

YES!!!

This is why I wanted to take pictures when I was 14.

I was fascinated by amateur photographers who took lots of night skies.

The beginning of my photographer dream♥

Anyway...

It started raining.

so oh well..

Another mother nature : rain.

Emma suggested me to take a rain pic. :) Thank you, Emma.

I could not take a rain drop on my window

due to heavy rain and no drops on the window.

So I used a window screen to catch the rain.

What I dont like about this rain is....

Sakura was about to be full bloom in a few days or so...

and it has been raining.

Hope I can capture FULL BLOOM soon.

This rain for sure damaged the beauty.

Sad.

今日は花粉症か、何かのアレルギーか、ただの風邪で、

体調が悪かったです。

昼寝中に、今日の写真は何にしようかと考えてたんですけど、

ちなみにテーマは　建築物、母なる自然、夢

ベッドで寝てるし、寝顔でも〜とかふざけたこと考えながら、

もっとクリエイティブに何かしたいと思って、

あーじゃ夜に夜空でも！と思ってたら、

寝てる間に雨降ってきました。

⁝⁞⁝⁞☂⁝⁞⁝⁝

残念。

エマちゃんが、じゃ窓にしたたる雨つぶは？

って言うから、そうしようと思ったけど、

激しくって、粒どころか、全体に濡れてて無理だった。

ので、網戸越しに撮ってみました。（写真１）

でも、雨ばっかりで、桜、ダメージ受けてるだろうなって

心配になってきました。

早く満開の写真が撮りたいんだけど、

どうかな〜。

Day 11 - Apple

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:43:00 +0000

Theme

Apple, ordinary beauty, or serious or moody.

I didnt have NO idea what to take...

Then I was like...

men, I shouldve bought some apples. :(

Apples...Apple... my apple...

ah I could use this apple. Macbook....HA!

I took this with my iPhone 4.

and used an app. :)

it could be a boring picture, but I did add some curiosity now?

Thank you so much,

Mai

------------------------------------------------

今日のテーマは、

りんご、普通（並）の美、それから　真面目か不機嫌なものでした。

何撮ったらいいのかわからず、

セルフポートレートもなーと思って、

りんご買ってこればよかったとか思ってたら、

りんごっていえば、APPLEだから〜

あーこのりんご使っちゃおってことで。

MacBookの。

iPhoneで撮ったので、アプリ使って加工しました。

ちょっとは味がついたかな。

Day 10 - time

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:32:00 +0000

Day 10

When I saw that today's topic, I had no idea what to take.

The only theme that I can get some ideas was.... TIME.

Time?

yea watch.

my watch that I wear every day with my bracelet.

This watch has been with me about 7 years.

My mom bought it for me when I started job hunting in Japan.

I didn't like feminine skinny watch,

so I had been looking for the one.

When I found this one, I fell in love immediately.

My mom thinks watches and shoes show how you are.

If you dont have watch with you, you might give people impression that you are not punctual or lazy.

If you dont have nice shoes, not only bad for your health ( posture ) but also bad because

people might think you dont take care of your stuff.

hmmm

some mornings, I forget to wear it..

I need new shoes...

ah I miss my mom.

(I guess I have to make a trip to Japan soon.)

haha

This edit is completely my style.

I added a light leak to add some fun :)

Day 9 モノクロ

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:09:00 +0000

Suddenly it rained here in Virginia this evening.

I have been fascinating with water and a drop of water.

and yes! I did it.

Thanks to this photo a day challenge,

I think now I know the setting to get a drop.

I love this splash!

I took it on my balcony.

That is why the floor is wooden.

Day 6

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:08:00 +0000

I should've brought a tripod....

I was looking for "straight" picture for Day 6 of my photo a day challenge.

I tried to hold tight, but haha

Learn from failure.

Photo-a-day challenge : Day 5

noreply@blogger.com (Mai Fujii) — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:28:00 +0000

Gooooooood afternoon (good morning in Japan!)

Finally, Friday is here. :)

Hope you are having a great one and its weekend.

Today's photo challenge is "Depth of Field"

and "what I am doing now" :)

I was looking at the tree's sprout.

I can't wait for spring.

Also I thought I didnt have time to take pictures before.

and I was making it as an excuse.

But you know what?

Once I started this challenge, I look for "the scene for today" every day.

This is fun.

And hopefully I will improve my skills day by day!

今日のフォトチャレンジは、被写界深度!!

と、「今やってること」をかけてみました。

窓から、アパートの前の木の新芽を見てたんです。

今まで忙しいっていうのを理由に写真を撮っていませんでしたが、

いざこうやって友人とチャレンジを始めると

結構できるもんですね！

毎日シーンを見つけるのが楽しみになってきました。

こうやって毎日写真を撮るうちに、

上手になってくるといいなーーー。

Photo challenge Day 3

- Emotion -

↓

Happiness ♡

As you know, I am just an new photographer.

Who is still trying to improve own skills and style.

When I am not feeling good or when I had a bad day at work,

I always check my "favorite" section on Flickr.

I sometimes check ALL the favorites spending about a few hours.

I want to get some inspirations,

I want to get some motivations,

and I want to feel like I can do it!!!!

After checking my favorites on Flickr, facebook, and other SNS websites....

I feel so happy, so motivated, and so fearless,

and and ... POSSIBILITY! :)

Thank you ALL for your inspiration and love.

I am slowly but surely growing. :)
