Lens-Artists Challenge #138: Natural Light

Published on March 7, 2021March 6, 2021 by Yinglan12 Comments

I love the topic of Natural Light because landscape photography is absolutely dependent on it, at least, in my opinion.

Lens-Artists Challenge #137: Soft

Published on February 28, 2021February 27, 2021 by Yinglan17 Comments

To me, the word soft can mean so many things – fluffy as in furs or feathers, delicate, and in photography, soft-focus, meaning the texture has been taken out of the photographs. This week, I hope these old photos can convey the meaning of soft.

Lens-Artists Challenge #134: From Forgettable to Favorite

Published on February 7, 2021February 6, 2021 by Yinglan16 Comments

A few weekends ago, I spent a few hours sitting before my laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic opened on the second monitor sorting photos. I knew I had a lot of photos but I was not expecting to be almost 5,000 photos. How did I manage to take so many photos and not remember that I took them?

Last year, with the pandemic underway and a little too much time on my hands during the weekends, I decided to take up crocheting. Aside from sourdough baking, this was my second so-called “pandemic hobby.”

Lens-Artists Challenge #133: My Photography Journey

Published on January 31, 2021January 30, 2021 by Yinglan20 Comments

I think my photography journey truly began when I took and posted this photo (above) at the end of March 2015. It was this close up of the Japanese Plum Blossom taken with a simple Fuji 7.2 megapixel point-and-shoot that got me interested in photography and I haven’t stopped much since.

Lens-Artists Challenge #131: All About Emotions

Published on January 17, 2021January 16, 2021 by Yinglan20 Comments

The theme for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge is Emotions, which really made me think hard as I don’t normally take portraits nor any photos portraying emotions. It resulted in me digging into photos which was an interesting task as I discovered photos I didn’t even know I had.

Lens-Artists Challenge #130: It’s a Small World

Published on January 10, 2021January 9, 2021 by Yinglan15 Comments

I love macros. They are so exotic and different and really only can be seen either with a magnifying glass, a dedicated macro lens, or in my case, a good ol’ regular camera lens with a screw-on macro filter. These filters are tricky to use sometimes as everything must be completely still and as you can see from the below photo, it only magnifies a specific area of the image while blurring the rest.

Since the pandemic began in March 2020, I had not had the opportunity to photograph with my macro lens filters as I was being driven by work and anxiety to the point I had somewhat lost my muse and inspiration to make photographs. I hope to make some in 2021 as it’s looking like spring might be coming early. Therefore, please enjoy some pre-pandemic photos. These photos were from the beautiful spring of pre-pandemic world of 2019.
