More 3DS Photography

There's a magic to some 3DS pictures, a kind of realm one can enter where it all makes sense, the particular, faraway look you can find within. As part of my ongoing beautiful obsession with the dear Nintendo 3DS camera, I bathed myself in an ominous pink light and invited the sparkle of its "sparkle" mode to enter seamlessly into this girlish landscape.

A wiggling photo of a woman grinning. In front of her are a few sparkling details.

And there is something about those flat sparkles, bubbles, stars, and hearts that really does add a sort of cartoon magic to the scene. Here I am, gazing resolutely as time turns and the stars dance. All is as it must be.

A woman gazes at the camera, through a field of sparkling stars.

I really wanted to use the 3DS's sparkle mode in a way that would make those little decals feel natural and normal. I wanted a way of incorporating them that would make it feel like, yes, of course little sparkles should be there. And what better way, I thought, than a great BLAST of pink light? 

A woman rests on a doorway while hearts and strange lens flares appear in front of her.

Somehow, it was the perfect choice.
