Title: Left home alone
Post by: jonjon on March 29, 2007, 12:06:33 PM
I decided to let myself go while the parents went shopping. I'm not going out tonigt because i have work first thing in the morning and i really wish i could just go and have some fun - but i've already cancelled.

SO.... I threw my clothes on the floor, stuck on some 'feminine' (gender neutral) clothes, my binder, my 4" platform goth boots, some make-up, found out all that choccy i been eating has gone straight to my fingers as most of my goth rings dont fit anymore  :'( and put some electric blue nail polish on!!!

It felt so good! And i soooooooooo wish i was going out tonight cos thats what i would have gone out in!!

And plus i dont seem to pass as a guy that very well lately and people will prob just see me as some kind of butch lesbian. Thats my latest battle with myself these days >_>

Oh well. One day i'll have a real flat chest and i can show it off to the world and then look femme... I sometimes wonder if i'm just a male ->-bleeped-<- trapt in this female body  :-\ I have to laugh at myself sometimes >_>

I bet you look cute. ;)

Seriously though, at least you're figuring out what fits best and what not. It's good practice.

Lighting plus your eyes may have variations that are different from the camera, especially color ranges, like with your avatar. I would fiddle with your camera's settings, from color saturation to exposure times, you should be able to find the best settings for in-doors that way.

Yeah, just play with the buttons until you understand which feature what does. Like Color Saturation basically captures more data across all the Red/Green/Blue scales. Exposure time will increase how long the camera sensor keeps open so it means more data is captured [this is sometimes used in place of flash with cameras]. Those two tend to balance out issues where they apply [color saturation will make you look less grey and faded, and exposure time will let you turn off the flash and use ambient light]. :)
