new camera!

Hey guys! So my birthday was on Thursday (17 now woo), and I got a camera! It's a canon powershot sx600 hs. I don't know too much about it but from the many pictures I've taken so far, I like it a lot. Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken so far:

my eye; I love taking pictures of my iris because normally it looks so dark and you can't see any variation but in photos you can see the detail

my little sister's eye; how lovely is her eye color?

72x zoom on the moon; you may have seen this on my instagram. how insane is this?

      

other various shots; shoutout to my sister for being a cooperative model--there's lots more of her in my pictures folder

None of these have been edited and they are mostly just test shots. Also, I would like your help. Firstly, if you are familiar with this camera or powershots in general, any tips you have would be much appreciated. Second, I would like to start a flickr or maybe tumblr or instagram for my pictures but I am not sure where to do so. I am considering flickr the most but I am not so sure with the whole yahoo sign in thing. Anyway, any tips would be great and I hope you enjoy these shots!

 

storie: my new favorite app

So on Friday I discovered something amazing. Storie.

I found this app through funforlouis and as soon as I saw it for the first time, I couldn't wait for it to be released. The idea behind storie is to be a simple vlog-type video maker. You record clips throughout the day and then it automatically edits them all together for you when you want to publish. It's essentially a easy to use mobile youtube without the hassle. The community is amazing as well since it is only a few days old.

          

One of the main reasons why I love storie so much is that it allows anyone to share their day no matter where they are in the world. I love watching what peoples' lives are like. (That makes me sound like a stalker but I really mean it.) And can we talk about how pretty is it to look at? I'm a complete nerd when it comes to pretty looking things, even food packaging, but this app is just really nice looking.

Storie is currently only available on ios, but I believe it is supposed to come out on android soon.

At the time that I am writing this, I have posted four stories, and I plan to make many more. (I even show my face and talk ahh which is something that I never thought I would do--it is explained in my "hello" storie.)

I think this app is super great, especially since it has only been out for less than a week. I see a very bright future ahead, so jump on this train early! 

painting plants + youtube?

As part of my new year's goals, I have been drawing/making art everyday. Today I drew and painted some pretty plants and I recorded them. Now I have always been interested in starting my own youtube channel, but I never really had anything to post until now.

Anyway, I painted some plant babies and created a youtube channel.

I know this isn't the best video quality or editing, but hey, it was fun. I hope you enjoyed it and that this leads to more videos in the future!
