all that love, all those mistakes, what else can a poor man make.

Elsie of A Beautiful Mess Blog recently shared a very amazing photography tutorial she learned from her friend Sara of Arrow and Apple photography. It's a free-lensing technique that allows you to create tilt-shift effects with your regular lens. You can find the tutorial here. like Elsie said, it's quite hard, but really fun. today i noticed that one of our apple trees is just about to bloom, and i picked my camera and went outside to try this new technique. here are few of the shots i took, and yeah, it was a lot harder than i expected, but i'm definitely gonna practice it more.
