goodbye tarland

vignette ftw!
i don't think there's going to be a very profound blog post here because i am partially distracted by south park on tv (tv is evil, by the way HAHA)...

it doesn't really matter because i have other photos i took in tarland :)

this photo shows what i am going to be giving my gp before i leave! i had free prints from photobox and i ordered a set of 16 prints but they came out all wonky and undeserving of being given away... so i then ordered another set of prints from kodak (also free!)

i was really pressed for time so i couldn't really edit all pics in photoshop, so i just sent them via bluetooth to my phone, opened them with vignette and applied the palatinotype effect and then bluetoothed them back to my computer to be uploaded

(i know, i know, i should have at least done more editing after that in photoshop, but it was already very late at night and i had to wake up the next day for work...)

the photos in the frame were pictures taken from random places in scotland (i was toying with the idea of compiling my favourite shots - from the rest of europe etc - for him but i guess this is more relevant...), with the middle 2x2 photos being photos taken while i was here :) the picture to the right of the picture of the statue was the one that pushed me to convert all my photos into palatinotype this time! i'm glad i decided to just go ahead and do it, and to use the palatinotype effect instead of sepia because palatinotype suits the frame so much better too! :))

HAHA in a fit of narcissism i decided to sign my name in pencil at the bottom of the photos, i have to practise creating a more artistic signature instead of just signing 'michelle' in cursive -_- i love the frame... i wish i could get one in malaysia :/

(i also hope that they don't remove my photos and just use the frame instead :( )

ok i should stop rambling...

i'm going to be sad to leave tarland, it's been such a good block, in more ways than one, but c'est la vie!

here's to a relatively quiet weekend (back in civilisation!!!!! i know i've been overusing that phrase a lot, lol) and then to pisa and florence!

ps. postcards! :)
