Travel

My greatest goal in life is not to have a lot of money or have a wonderful job. No my number one goal that I hope to accomplish more than anything else is to travel around the world. Stay in places for more than a week. Be able to speak the language at least kinda well by the time I leave and have a lot of fun while doing it.

This would be something fun to do when I get to this chapter of my life. (take pictures everywhere we go) :)

Good Morning

Almost done with School/Photo challenge

Two weeks left of school. Pretty nervous! But I am also going to take a photo a day for a year plus some because I couldn't wait till the new year :) To go see these pictures go to my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/gisellecolonphotography) and like it. It would mean the world to me now that I'm starting to get serious about my photography.

I'm going to start posting more. For sure once school is done. I've just been so busy with school work and I made new friends! Well have a wonderful December :)

Editing Photos

Well I've now done my first family photo shoot and am very happy with the results. They came out really well and the mom begged me to look at the photos before I even edited and she was super happy with them :) It's getting to the end of the year and finals are coming up. Pretty scary but still I'm ready for next semester. Here are some photos from my first photo shoot.

Nikon D5100

So I'm trying to figure out what lens to buy for my camera. The only lens I have right now is the 18-55mm. I'm thinking of getting a 50mm cause it's on the cheaper end of lenses and I've heard good things. Any suggestions?

Photo Shoot today

Today I get to do my first ever photo shoot. I'm pretty excited and nervous. Here are some photos I took yesterday =D

Fall is here!

Ah the leaves are changing color and it is so pretty outside. Tomorrow going to take test shots down in Bricktown (OKC, OK) before the photo shoot on Saturday :)

Knit Hood

This is my own pattern. I took my idea from this pattern. But since I don't have circular knitting needles I created my own patter. (http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/outerwear/through-the-woods-hooded-neckwarmer/4282)


If you need clarification on the pattern please comment.

MATERIALS:

• Yarn
• Knitting needle 10mm
• Sewing Machine (or you can hand sew with the yarn)

KEY:

• cnf- cable needle hold in front
• cnb- cable needle hold in back
• lf- left needle
• *___* -repeat what is inside till end of row

What you will be making is a big rectangle. How long it is is up to you (How many you cast on and how many times you repeat the steps.)

Cast on a multiple of 14 plus 8. See Pattern.
This first part is for  where the buttons will be placed. You can repeat these steps until you are satisfied.

1. Row 1(RS): k

This part is for the cabled look of the pattern. Repeat as much as you'd like for the length of the hood (how far back it goes).

1. Row 1(RS): k4, *p4, k6, p4, *k4.
2. Row 2: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4.
3. Row 3: k4, *p4, k6, p4, *k4.
4. Row 4: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4.
5. Row 5: k4, *p4, slip 3 sts to cnf, k3 from ln, slip sts from cn onto ln then k3, p4, *k4
6. Row 6: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until you reach desired length.

When finished fold the work in half so that the right sides are facing each other. Sew one side of the work together to make a hood.

What's Up?

So my posting on here has been at an absolute minimum. Last week I had three tests and this week I have two. School is getting close to being over and I'm super nervous. Looks like I pull out this semester with four B's and a C. Not ideal but oh well.

This weekend I'm going to be doing a photo shoot and on Tuesday I'm going to go down with my man and figure out where I want to take the girls. Also probably take some test shots :) I'm pretty excited cause this is my first photo shoot ever and I think it will help me a lot with figuring out my style and what I need to work on. I think I might even go out today and take some shots. It's so pretty outside with all the leaves changing.

-.-

Sorry for not posting much this week. It's been crazy. Had my birthday and then I'm working a lot babysitting for a missions conference at my church and that along with my homework and classes... It's just been very busy. What I will try to get done this week is a recipe for some halloween themed treat. Haven't decided which one yet. And I think I'll be doing a process of drawing that I use tutorial. That's all I can promise because later this week I have a pumkin carving party, photo shoot, halloween parade and family bday party and also along with homework and classes. Thanks for sticking around and being patient :)

If you'd like to know what is going on with me you can follow me on twitter. I'm semi active on that =D And I will be tweeting about what is coming up on the blog =D

diy Henna Tattoo

I've heard a whole lot of diy Henna tattoos and so I decided to try one out for once. This one I found online but I did my own editing to it to make it last even longer possibly. I'll have to update this one later on to say how long it really did last on me.

Materials:

• Waterproof Mascara or Eye Liner or Lip Stain Pencil
• Waterproof Liquid Bandage Spray

STEP ONE:

Draw your design on your skin after making sure it is clean.

STEP TWO:

Follow the directions on how to put on the liquid bandage.

And you're done :)
