Songs inspired by books

There are two book series called The Mortal Instrument and Infernal Devices. They are book series that I love (and everyone must read them).

The other day I saw two songs of two girls who had composed some songs for the book series. I found they were very well made and perfectly matched the letters with books, so I'm going to leave here, for fans of the series to hear them.

Fire and Ice - Olivia

Just him and her

It was a perfect afternoon. The sun shone as ever, clouds seemed more cotton than normally, the grass had a lovely green, the birds sang while the whole park was quiet.

And he was there.

He was the most perfectly of that afternoon.

She looked at him. He smiled and kissed her.

In that momento they seemed they were infinite.

Their lips joined in harmony, as they’ve always done. They seemed to be made ​​for each other. They fit perfectly, like the gears of a machine.

It wasn’t necessary talking when they wanted to say something. They just have to look each other. “The eyes are the mirror of the soul.”

The boy's brown eyes with the girl’s blue eyes.

He saw in her eyes all that the girl did not say, because he knew she was shy. The brightness of her eyes reflected her happiness. And that was what he liked the most.

He loved her for almost everything she was.

He just loved her.

 As she loved him too.

The sky is yours

If you try, you can get all the goals you've set.

You have to try, sometimes with more effort, but in the end, all your efforts will be rewarded.

As this song says:
"The sky is yours".

 

Sonohra - The Sky Is Yours

Lost

-I'm not very good at writing, but yesterday I started writing a text of a story. I like how it went (more or less) so I decided to post it. I hope you also like it.-

She stopped running close to her treehouse. The tears ran over her face, from her eyes to her throat.

She heard a car. It was the police car.

She climbed up the stairs and went to the house. The girl prayed that the police hadn’t seen her.

After a while, the girl stopped hearing the car. In fact, she heard nothing. All was silence and calm. She told herself that she would be safe, but her body didn’t believe it. It didn’t stop shaking.

She remembered what had happened a few minutes ago. She remembered the knive. She remembered the scream. She remembered the blood.

Her hands were full of blood. She didn’t have time to clean them.

The girl screamed. She wanted to forget everything, she didn’t want to remember. She wishes she could erase the past. How many times the girl had dreamed with a button that erased the past, just a few hours. She just wanted more time to think and reconsider what she had done. Now everything was actually done, there was no return.

The girl was terrified. She didn’t know where she could go.

And she was alone, as she had always been.

Nothing lasts forever

Yeah, everything ends. All things in planet have their own end. Even the planet, and our Sun.

But humans normally love holding on everything. We are not with the idea that we have to change. The world changes and we must do the same. But of course, it is very comfortable sitting on the couch, doing absolutely nothing.

If we love something, we find hard to get rid of that. But sometimes you have to see that it’s finished, or it hurts us. Then, we have to change.

Nothing lasts forever, and we must understand, although it costs. In this world, everything is passing through, and we can’t stop it.

Oblivion

We pretend to forget. If someone hurts us, our defense mechanism is forgetting. But sometimes you have to remember. Yes, remember, because this way we won't fall into the same mistake. We must learn from our mistakes, accept them, know that they are there; because although we try to forget our past, you can not erase it. Remember and learn.

Appearances

 

"Don't kid by appearances. - The old woman warned - Because beauty is in the soul."

Magic.

There’s magic everywhere you look at. You just have to look around you carefully, and you'll see it; and the most important thing: Believe. Don’t stop dreaming. Never.

Montaje Homenaje a Nuestro Instituto: Apariencias.

Estos son unos montajes que hemos ido haciendo en grupo sobre nuestro instituto.

En ambas fotografías, se observa nuestro "gran" dominio del photoshop. Son unas imágenes tomadas durante las clases de audiovisuales de los exteriores e interiores de nuestro magnifico centro escolar. En los exteriores podemos observar el parque Abelardo Sánchez y la avenida de España. El instituto como podeis observar es majestuoso e imponente y es uno de los pocos edificios emblemáticos de Albacete.

El primer montaje lo hicimos siguiendo un tutorial que vimos en Internet.  Este tutorial explicaba como crear una imagen compuesta por varias imágenes. Para ello lo primero que hicimos fue seleccionar las imágenes que más nos gustaban y las colocamos en un documento nuevo.  Luego lo definimos como un motivo  personalizado.

En otro documento  pusimos la imagen de fondo y creamos una nueva capa que rellenamos con el motivo que habíamos creado previamente. A esa capa le reducimos la opacidad y a las dos imágenes les añadimos unos filtros artísticos para que se vieran un poco mejor.

En el segundo montaje buscamos la imagen de un charco en internet. La abrimos en photoshop y pegamos la imagen que queremos que se refleje, girándola 180º. Tras esto reducimos la opacidad y hacemos que encaje en el charco borrando las partes sobrantes. A continuación  buscamos en internet una imagen que tenga agua para hacer el efecto de esta. Esta imagen la pegamos en el documento en el que estamos trabajando y hacemos que encaje. Para terminar reducimos la opacidad y aplicamos un filtro de desenfoque, en concreto el Gaussiano, para que no se noten los bordes tan marcados.

Esperamos que os haya gustado este tutorial.

Última entrada de Photoshop

Bueno, pues eso es todo sobre photoshop. Ahora, lo que tenemos que hacer es: La portada de un disco, la portada de un libro, y un anuncio.

Como ya habréis visto con mis montajes de photoshop, no soy muy buena utilizándolo, y tampoco soy muy creativa, así que sed benévolos cuando juzguéis mis montajes.

Portada de un disco: Supersubmarina.

 

Portada de un libro: Lo hizo todo por mí (Relato de una amiga mia, que publicará muy pronto en su blog: http://www.losuenosehacenrealidad.blogspot.com.es/ )

 

 

Por ultimo, el anuncio, que yo he elegido anunciar la tercera temporada de Juego de Tronos, que es mi serie favorita (os la recomiendo, es muy buena):

 

 

 

 

Montajes con Photoshop

Esta vez lo que hemos hecho ha sido cambiar las caras de las personas que hay en una foto por las que nosotros queramos.

Esto es más complicada de explicar que lo que hemos hecho anteriormente, ya que deberás ir modificando la saturación o el brillo y el contraste según sea la foto.

De todos modos, explicaré lo que he hecho en las siguientes imagines:
Lo primero que hay que hacer es abrir las dos imágenes en photoshop. Una vez hecho esto debes cortar la cara que quieres poner en la imagen, y pegarla en la imagen en la que quieres cambiar la cara. Cuando lo pegues, tienes que rotar la imagen o cambiarla de tamaño hasta que cuadren la cara original de la imagen con la nueve que queremos ponerle. Para ver cuánto tenemos que girar o agrandar o empequeñecer la imagen, bajamos la opacidad de la nueva cara. Cuando ya cuadre totalmente volvemos a poner al 100% la opacidad. Ahora es viene la parte más difícil; tienes que ajustar el color de la imagen original con el de la nueva cara. Esto es lo más difícil, ya que muchas veces hay mucha diferencia en una imagen y en la otra. Para ajustar el color, debes mover las barras de brillo/contraste, equilibro color o tono/saturación.

Una vez igualado el color, ya está terminada la imagen. A continuación pondré algunas otras imágenes que he hecho:

Incredible, just incredible and cute.

I saw this fantastic and incredible video a few days ago, and I thought everyone should watch it.
In this video, we can see a cute dolphin, who’s got a fishing line on his fin and mouth. He decided to ask for help to the diver who was filming a documentary of sea life.
That person cuts carefully the fishing line of the fin and mouth of the dolphin.
I thought there weren’t many people like him because nowadays people abuses animals and don’t respect them. But this person has taught me that there are still people who want to help and love animals, so I loved this video.
I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I did.

Reparar fotos dañadas.

Como ya sabeis, ahora estoy aprediendo a utilizar photoshop; y en esta ocasión, ha tocado aprender a reparar fotos antiguas que estan dañadas. Aqui os pongo una de las fotos que he reparado, con su original:

Antes

    Despues

 Lo primero que se debe hacer con estas fotos es hacer una copia, duplicando la capa. Lo siguiente es ir a ajustes y cambiar los colores de la imagen primero a "escala de grises" y luego a "color RGB". Si en la imagen los grises son muy claros, puedes ir a "imagen" > "ajustes" > "niveles" para poder diferenciar más lo colores y que te sea más facil. Para eso tienes que coger la primera felcha a la izquierda y desplazarla hasta la parte donde empiece a haber color negro.
A continuación, simplemente tienes que seleccionar el tampón de clonar (en la primera fila, la quinta herramienta), e ir tapando todas las imperfecciones, ¿cómo? Pues primeros debes situarte cerca de una de las imperfecciones, y pulsando el botón "alt" tomas una muestra del color que vas a usar para tapar la imperfección. Luego, con esa muestra ya puedes tapar lo que quieras. Es recomendable ir poco a poco, es decir, ir con "clicks", no tapar toda una raya de golpe con un solo click del ratón.
Pues así, poco a poco y con paciencia (photoshop es una programa para gente con mucha paciencia) puedes lograr que una imagen dañada por el paso de los años vuelva a quedar como nueva.
Aqui os pongo otra imagen que he reparado:

Colorear fotos con Photoshop

 Antes

    Después

Este es un dibujo que he hecho con Photoshop. No he hecho en sí el dibujo (que esta demasiado bien hecho como para que yo lo haya podido hacer), sino que lo he coloreado.
En estos días, estamos viendo photoshop, así que iré subiendo algunas imágenes que vaya haciendo.
Esta, como veis es de un dibujo animado muy cuqui, Bambi.
Lo único que he hecho ha sido pintar la imagen con los colores que yo he querido, con el bote. En algunas zonas, no estaba bien terminado el dibujo y he tenido que usar el lazo magnético (para seleccionar la zona que tu quieras) para poder colorearlo.
También, si os fijáis  en las esquinas superiores de la imagen se ve como algo blanco. He "intentado" hacer nubes. Digo "intentado" porque no se ve muy bien, y me hubiese gustado que salieran mejor. Para hacerlas, he cogido el pincel, y arriba, he seleccionado el pincel que quería usar. El que he utilizado es uno de los que esta abajo, el que pone: "Hojas dispersas."
Y así ha sido como he coloreado a Bambi y a Tambor (el conejito que hay al lado).
Pues ya iré subiendo más imágenes conforme las vaya haciendo.
See u soon!

mIRC

Hi there.

During last week and this week, I've been talking in a programme called mIRC with some other people who used it.

First day, anyone wanted to talk to me (I don't know why, I was friendly).

Second day, we talk to a girl (I think she was a girl) whose name was Chica.

She told me she was 20 years, was from Indonesia and she was working in a clinic. I tried to have a coversation with her, but she never asked to me, so I was all time asking questions.

I tried to talk to someone, she was called Habibi, but when I asked her: "Where are you from?" She answered me: "Planet Earth", So I tried to be funny and I said " I'm from Mars :)". After that, she didn't talk to me anymore.

Thrid day, on thuersday, was very special, because I talked to a guy who was vey very friendly and nice. His name (I think he was a boy) was "Alcatraz". First time I started to talk to him because I liked the name, but after that I realized he was very kind. We talked about many things. He told me he was in last year of high school, he was from Afghanistan and he was trying to learn Spanish. I taught him some idioms, like: It's raining cats and dogs (Llueve a cántaros).

Fourth day, I talked to someone just for asking her how to search someone on the progremme, because I wanted to talk again with Alcatraz.

I found him and we talked again. He sent me some links to download three books of english (beacuse last day I told him I was trying to learn english) but finally I haven't opened the links. We couldn't talk too much because he had to study.

Fifht day was the funniest. I lied about my age, and I talked to a girl, whose name was f_Indonesia. I told her I was 40 years old, and I worked as a chef in an important restaurant in Polinesia. She told she was vegetarian, and she started to told me about why she was vegetarian, and that animals suffer when they know they wold been killed. After that, I talked with a boy, whose name was Jh00n Fire, and I said I was 58. Then, he stopped talking to me. Is there something wrong with older people?

Sixth day, I tried to talked to someone, but anyone talked to me. Finally, a boy who was in a chat group talked to me, but we didn't have enough time to talk, because I had to leave.

And that was all for this week. In fact, at the beginning I thought it would be boring, but now I know it wasn't, and it has helped me with my english.

See u soon.

 

Don't you worry child.

Don´t you worry, don’t you worry child, see heaven’s got a plan for you (8).
Almost always we think that when something goes wrong, everything will fall, we won’t be able to raise and recover. But as the saying goes: If a door closes, a window will open. If your “A” plan has failed, pass to “B” plan, and if this fails to “C”.

Never stop trying one thing although if you went wrong. Keep trying it, and the next time with more strength.
If you really want, you will get it.

Don't you worry child - Beth Cover.
