CAMERA OBSCURA

Q & A

Hey. I just wanna ask, what aperture, exposure and ISO can I use to have a bokeh effect in using a kit lens? thank you so much, I’m a big fan of your works and i always visit your blog.

you just need a large aperture (f/1.4, 1.8, 1.2) to have a bokeh effect! with a kit lens, you have to use your f/3.5 (which is your largest) but it won’t be as prominent as the larger apertures :)

how do you put domain name?

I asked someone to do it for me :)

can you get high quality photos from SX10 IS canon? is it good for photography?

why not? I think point and shoot cameras can do great things :)

Hello! which is better to use? CANON 600D or 60D? Thankyou so much. we’ll be having our photography class next sem and i don’t know what camera to buy. :-(

Well, if its just a photography class then use the 600D, because its pointless to spend so much money on a camera if you haven’t really mastered how it works :) and if you use the 600D well, it will perform just as great since its not really about the camera right?

Hi! I’m using the instax mini 7s, and I was just wondering how long would a film pack last if I put it on? ‘Cause some say once you put the film, you have to use it right away, how true is that? :)

you dont have to wait! haha i put mine and start shooting :)

Hi Kimi! What bag do you use for your polaroid? Can you link me to it? :)

I don’t have a bag for my polaroid! :)

Hi! Where did you buy your hardshell for your macbook?

Hey, Kimi! What were you like in high school? :)

well, i wasn’t part of the “popular” crowd if that’s what you mean haha!

what’s a leica camera and why is it so expensive?

Its a brand of cameras. They make digital cameras but make it look like a film camera and they’re expensive because the performance of the camera is wonderful!

Are you using BB cream?

nope haha i don’t like putting foundation on my face or anything sticky

do you have any idea how much it will cost to have a dslr’s sensor and a lens cleaned? do you clean your camera and your lenses by yourself? if yes, what do you use to clean it? your answer will help a lot :)

Nope! sorry! :( well i bought this cleaning kit that has a blower, a cleaning spray with cloth and cotton buds :)

Hi Kimi! I just wanna ask, where did you edit your instagram photo with the frame? I don’t know what its really called lol. It looks kind of polaroid-ish

I bought an app called ClassicINSTA in the app store :)

is that you and you boyfie? (kissing photo)

nope! thats my best friend bernice and her boyfriend icco :)

I wouldn’t say the D5100 is a flop. I’m having a lot of fun with it and it does take nice pictures. :) I love your photos by the way!

good! some just have a hard time maintaining it :) thanks too! :)

What do you think of the Leicas? :D Like the M9 or the ones that look like film cameras but are digital.

I absolutely love Leica cameras! but they are waaayyyy expensive! :(

Hi Ate Kimi! I hope you’ll answer this :) Your school doesn’t have any uniform right? What are the basic rules of the cloths/attire? Thank youu!

no uniform! haha well im not really familiar with the dress code! i just wear normal clothes that i know dont show much! :)

Hi Kimi. Just wondering how you make your photos sharp.

they’re sharp to begin with! i sometimes do a little noise reduction to lessen the sharpness haha

Ate Kimi, can you make some more actions. Oh, and can you teach me on how to download your actions, the site has so many download buttons and i dont know what to pick. :)

I am making more actions! im just not going to make it public yet! :) well, theres something wrong with the site wherein i uploaded my actions, but i’ll fix that and update you guys with a new link! :)

Hi Kimi! Can you suggest some movies that I can watch with my boyfriend? Like what movies have you and matt watched? We’re planning on a marathon but we don’t have any idea on what to watch. Thank you, gorgeous! :)

Matt and I don’t really do movie marathons, we go out and watch the movies showing at the cinemas, but you can try watching Dirty Dancing which is my absolute favorite! (if you like 80’s dance movies) haha :)

Kimiiiiii! You are really gorgeous! Really, really gorgeous. Teehe. I just wanna ask, what can i surprise my boyfriend with for anniversary? He really is a fan of marvel. I originally wanted to give him an iron man action figure, but I really don’t have any idea. I don’t know what to dooo. But I really want to surprise him. Helppp! Thanks. :D

haha thanks! :) well, i also have a hard time surprising matt during occasions but we get each other useful things, and things that we talk about a lot :)
