Overlapping photos with 'Pic Blender'

There's something special about being able to commemorate certain moments of your life and review them whenever you want. I always admired this about photography, but also found it bothering that nowadays those moments in photographs are usually artificially posed and do not reflect the real world. This time I decided to take it as an advantage and try creating something surreal out of real photos. For this I used an app called "Pic Blender" which actually gives away the whole idea behind this small experiment of mine. I wanted to try to overlap different pictures in order to create unusual and creative pictures.
At first, I tried numerous other apps before discovering "Pic Blender" but even though they all seemed to have a variety of functions, the quality of the final picture was completely ruined. Luckily, "Pic Blender" maintained most of the initial picture's quality and I was able to experiment with it. It took some time for me to understand how to properly manage the app but eventually I figured it out. When I started to think of what kind of picture to create I found it challenging to find a suitable background for other details to fit in; finally, I chose a few black and white pictures of some kind of models that seemed not to stand out very much. Then I tried to add another pictures on top (overlapping) but I didn't like the effect that this gave. I was lucky to find a page with pictures of only certain element such as fire, animals etc. This gave me full freedom to improvise and be creative. 
Overall I'm happy with the result, I think the pictures look original and attention-drawing as you instantly want to investigate what's on them. It was a completely new experience for me but an enjoyable one.

IB convention

Image
This year is a special one for Vilnius lyceum IB students because exactly twenty years have passed since IB program was founded in our school. It's something we should be proud of and celebrate together with other IB schools. Luckily, there's an annual event called IB convention, first organized by Kaunas Jesuit gymnasium years ago, which was a perfect opportunity to address pride-worthy anniversary. Our coordinators gathered all IB course a month or even more before the event to start an early organization. At first, it was hard to generate concrete ideas, especially as none of us imagined what the event should look like. It was much easier when people started to concentrate on particular aspects, such as food, CAS activities, speakers, overnight stay and, of course, welcoming, which I eventually joined as well. My task was mainly to organize the smooth proceeding of minor tasks such as present-, decoration-, arrow- and poster-making, as well as to find people willing t

Conference for scientists

Image
Vita Scientia is a conference which gathers life scientists from around the world every two years. I have never previously heard about this kind of event organized by Vilnius University students but as soon as my biology teacher a month prior to the conference offered to take part as a volunteer I agreed with no thought of hesitation.  Well, I didn't even expect to be regretful about such a decision in the future but I was wrong. It appeared to be on the last and busiest day of my Christmas holidays and the organizers were asking to volunteer for thirteen hours straight! I was devastated to finish last works and tasks of holidays but there was no way I could miss this kind of event. Not only I was interested to participate in it as much as possible myself, but I couldn't refuse to help out the organizers as there were only ten of us volunteers. So a little past 7:30 am I was already at the agreed place. To my surprise, there was nothing to do there and all of us ten were sim

10000 steps a day

Image
Having to spend most of my time by the desk I can really feel the lack of exercise in my daily life. Now, when the exams are so close I feel deprived of physical activities even more. However, it’s not an excuse to choose the elevator instead of the stairs or take a bus instead of walking. This month was supposed to be dedicated  to walking 10000 steps a day, but it appeared to be much more difficult than I expected. I assumed that I usually was walking most of that amount but I was surprised to acknowledge that I barely could get to half of that. Therefore, it was much more of a challenge to walk 10000 steps than I initially anticipated. First of all, I found it hard to keep up with the fixed number of steps. I always managed to get 5000 steps but to double that I had to make a significant effort. Sometimes it even required a few (or more) circles around my neighborhood before coming home form school. Before this moth I believed that I enjoy walking but it wasn’t that fun after all
