Day 6, as presented on flickr:

Have a friend over today to play games. We’re having “mossaka” and salad for dinner.

A bit uninspired too.

This is the best I could come up with, it’ll have to do 😛

I really need to set some time aside to go through the camera functions. SO far, I’ve been enjoying the wonderful quality of the pictures the “Auto” setting can achieve.

I have been playing around with ISO and shutter speed, but mostly there’s just been stabs in the dark. Soon though.

Day 5 in my 365 days project turned out like this:

I brought the camera with me to school in the hopes of finding something fun to shoot. By five o’clock it was time to go home and I hadn’t found anything really impressive. Just as I was on my way home I remembered that the view from the fifth floor (which also belongs to our school) can be quite breathtaking. So up I went and managed to snap this shot and three others before I ran out of batteries. Quite embarrassing, but I can’t help but feel just a little bit more like a photographer now. It’s like “oh yeah, always check your batteries, yeah it’s happened to me”. It makes me feel more experienced and I won’t be making that mistake again anytime soon I can tell you!

What’s your most embarrassing photography blunder?

After two black and white photos, I decided it was time to bring some color back into the equation. Hence, today’s shot.

Johan had the day off today, so we spent some quality time together. This consisted of staying in bed half the day, nachos, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and just hanging out. Not much action today, but most definitely a wonderful day, the kind I look forward too all week.

Black and white seems to be turning into this weeks theme.

Today I listened to Hello Saferide and this one song stuck with me. It was the inspiration for the photo.

I’ve been playing around with slow shutter speed. Of course it resulted in motion blur, since I’m lousy at being entirely still. I like the surreal, dreamlike effect it adds to the shout though.

And suddenly, I don’t feel fat anymore
I don’t count my blackheads as a hobby
I don’t count the marks on the wall
And I don’t sleep well at all

I Don’t Sleep Well – Hello Saferide

Mattias, Emma and Märta came to visit today, so we spent the day hanging out at the bar while Johan tried to both work and be social. It’s been a really good day!

I’ve been playing around with Photoshop a bit. Today I found the filter function that let’s you add certain lighting to the picture. I’ve used it in my day 1 picture, as well as in this one, though I’m trying to keep it toned down to retail some of the natural feel of the photos.

My boyfriend and I have been looking for an apartment for some time now. Being picky didn’t exactly help us in our search, but we simply didn’t want to settle. We wanted an apartment in walking distance from the city center and with a unique, special feel to it. We want it to feel like a home, not like a factory made storage container for humans.

A few days back we were informed that one of the apartments we’d been interested in might be made available to us. We were asked to go look at it and get back to them with our answer. We went and looked at it and though we didn’t fall in love with it at first sight, it grew on us. So much so, that by the same time the next say we decided to accept the offer.

Since then we’ve been waiting, holding our breath, to see if we actually got it. Today we heard from them again. On Wednesday we have an appointment to sign the lease.

We’ve found a home.
