Deep Blue...

And her sadness was as deep and as blue as the ocean...
AHHH, I finally did it! Oh yes, I wanted to try some drop photography since I saw the impressive drop works of .
And so, with her help, this genius tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=... and much experimenting I got a few nice shots and I think this one is the best of them... I know there's overexpose in this image but as I said- I like it for a first try. It was quite hard with focus and aperture... Almost everything that could have been a fascinating shot got blurry... And I didn't had to edit the colors- I set the white balance on "electric light" and the whole picture got this wonderful blue It was just normal water, no color in it! ^,^

Do you see it? A young sad lady, an ocean and the sky, full of stars? I love the slight bokeh in the background! *.*

I think this was such a magical shooting... I am definitely going to do something like this again. I know, it's a bit mainstream. Anyway. Why is it mainstream?- Because it's magical.
