Lol yes I am straight meaning. Just wondering what would make you think otherwise? I dig chicks, but totally in a bi-sexual on-the-side sort of thing. No I'm joking.
Love u bye.

I appreciate your intrest in the piece but I was unhappy about some elements of it, I'm most likely going to be redoing it eventually and it will look much better. Thank you.

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I offer only the truth, nothing more.
Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill
spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

Hey there. Thanks for the message. I really appreciate it when people take the time to get to know one another - one thing that I think is lacking on DA. There's so much emphasis on commenting and favourites that there's little energy put into getting to know fellow deviants. I'm just getting tired of the system and I'm getting further and further out of touch with the people that in the beginning gave me so much support. Anyhow, in regards to the thumbs down icon - I'm just tired as I said before. I've only got a week left before I start uni and I'm feeling quite unsure about the subjects I've chosen. So yeah, not too bad, but depressing
OK, onto the technical stuff. I don't have any coloured filters for my camera. All of it is done with PS. I do however sometimes use an ND8 and soft filter for different effects. I get the colour through "colour overlays" (Layer>Layer Style). It takes a lot of messing around to get the effect you're looking for. The most important thing is the "Blend mode" which you'll see when you click on the "colour overlay" text. You'll always have to decrease the opacity so that you don't make anything too overpowering. The most important blend mode I've found is "colour burn" and "vivid light." Red is probably the best colour to use in most situations where you're trying to enhance the colours, but it always depends on the mood you're trying to create. Turning things different shades is best done with the "hue" blend mode. You can also do it via Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Under the Adjustments umbrella, there's a lot of different options which can aid you in getting the colour you want. Finally if you want to isolate a certain colour and change the colour, you can use the Select>Colour Range tool which you can use the eyedropper to select a colour you want selected. It's also best when selecting to use the Select>Feather tool which will make the edge gradated so that any colour change you make will not look out of place and pixelated - rather it will be smooth and unnoticable. It's also best after you've feathered the selection to copy the selection and put it on another layer in case you somehow lose the selection. That way you can also change the background more easily.
Yeah, I hope the camera won't be damaged either. That could be a problem. I'm already having a few minor problems with my Sony. The focusing ring is somehow loose and feels like it could come off. The LCD screen also changes colour sometimes but I discovered I can get it back to normal when I bang it on the table. Another thing with Sony's is the noise problem. You can use [link] to get rid of it though. It works beautifully.
Anyhow, I hope I've explained a few things sufficiently here. Thanks for the feedback once again!

OMFG! You spent $3000 on camera equipment?!?! Because of me?!?! Oh dear... I hope everything goes alright or I'm going to have this hanging over my shoulders! Haha!! What camera did you get? Oh yeah, I hope you realise that I do massive amounts of photoshopping on my photos... it's not all due to the camera.. Thanks for the comment. As always I'm very appreciative!
