Short Story: Lost Love

Fly freely

Your messenger beeps! "How are you?" said the person on the other computer screen. The person you least expect to message you suddenly did. You don't know if you will answer or not but much to your surprise, your fingers were already typing the words. "I'm fine, how are you?"

Your conversation deepened and you both reminisce the time you were together. You felt happy but at the same time disappointed for he wants you back. Your instinct tells you not to believe hence you are just riding on to what he's telling you. Then it came to the point when you can no longer hold it and you spoke out, told him what happened and had done after your break-up. You told him everything you felt which you kept to yourself for a very long time. You told him you were ruined when you heard he got a new girlfriend several weeks after your break up. So you asked, how can you say you still love me if you were able to love someone else right after me? He answers, he needs to move on and that girl was available but then you are the one he's longing for. 

Photography: Practicing Long Exposure Shots

There are so many technical details one can learn from photography. I have just restarted doing it and when I read more about it, I get information overload. Recently, I really wanted to do long exposure shots but I really don't know how. Fortunately with thorough reading, I learned how to  set my camera hence I tried practicing it with the clouds every time I go bicycling. However, I was not lucky to produce the results I want.

Last weekend, I asked my in-laws to go with me to the swimming pool. It was a hot day so I wanted to swim and relax. I also intended to practice long exposure shots with the slide. It was really a hot day; I didn't bring my tripod with me so I had no choice but to lie down on a scorching cement near the pool to make my camera stable.  I had several shots because I almost got the results I want.

I used the shutter mode on the above three pictures. However, the results were not the ones I like.
