Notebook: Midori Traveler's

Yeah, Notebook time~  I have been keeping this entry for a quite long time because the internet connection from the place I live right now, it is pretty messed up ==.  

Ok!  Midori traveler's notebook is from Japan & if you are interested with the Japan's site, click me.  And yeah the 'Traveler' name is the company it's from.  The midori is green in Japanese.  

The MIDORI brand creates paper products, including letters, greetings cards, colored papers and stickers, and creative design stationery with sophisticated designs.  Since its establishment in 1950, the Midori brand has been popular with many customers and has produced many hit products and long sellers.  In addition to sophisticated designs, we manufacture goods that combine both beauty and functionality by paying special attention to beauty and materials used.

We can use this to jot down any important & precious moments when travelling.  But you may also use it for another purpose too; for instance, list books, planner & etc.  Just rely on your creativity!  

Below are some photos of the cute and classy notebook I found randomly!  They are not mine~

Tip: Photographing with Backlight+ Sun flare

Who doesn't love a glowing background? There's something so gorgeous about an abundance of light taking over a photo- casting the perfect light on your subject. To do this, place your subject in front of a light source (in this case, we used the sun) and don't be afraid to experiment. There's no right or wrong it's all about placing your subject in the right place and once you have your settings in place- have your subject experiment with different poses, which allows the sun to peek through various body movements. The outcome really is beautiful and has a tendency to have a vintage and classic look.

When we took these photos, Kelli placed Emma directly in front of the sun and then let her pose so that the light leaked through it different ways.

The best time of day to experiment with glowing light is during the magic hour or anytime when the sun is lower in the sky. This makes it easier to pose your model in front of it! 

Sun flare is a natural occurrence that can be unpredictable.  You can find this light when posing your model in front of the sun.  You'll be able to see it through your camera's viewfinder as you move around and find the perfect position.

And yeah I watched this a few days ago.

Smashbook is pretty much the closest thing to the art journals or whatever you want to call it.  They are amazingly brilliant ideas!  Too bad, we don't have it here in Malaysia :( but we can always buy online or make ourselves one!  Click here to pay a visit to the awesome site!  The website is beautifully made and informative.  We can check out other blogs suggested by it and also shop for their products.  I give two thumbs up and lots of stars for this creation!  And I would give more stars if the price would be much much lower.  At least for a person like me.  Check this official video from the company which came up with this product~
