I heart you. Do you see what we see?

Yo estoy haciendo un curso de Photoshop, me encanta la fotografia pero no tengo una buena reflex. Hay muchas formas de hacer buenas fotos en blanco y negro pero sin duda estan preciosas todas!.

Increibles! No soy muy fan de la fotografia pero estas me han encantado

Que bonita esa bolboreta!, yo hice una muy chula de mi hermana, ya os la enseñare que la tengo en la otra sesion del ordenador

Me encanta!

Son preciosas!!! Se demuestra con esto que para que una foto sea bonita no tiene que estar llena de colores!! Me encantan!

A mi me gustan mucho mas las fotos en blanco y negro q en color.

Esta es la de mi hermana que hice yo.

Me encantan las fotos en b/n! Aunque tenga una buena cámara no siempre me salen bonitas, es mucho más dificil (en mi opinión) sacar una buena foto en b/n que en colores!

Ésta es preciosa

Que ilusión ver un trocito de mi tierra..Es Miramare, en prov. de Trieste, cerca de mi pueblo (en Italia)

Yo el efecto lo hago con el Photoshop, hay muchas menras de lograrlo y salen estupendas.

Muy chula la tuya Liza
