Just a share

Except for a deprived sleep through the week, I am frantically keeping up with my photography course although not much on the taking of photos yet though just more on the theories, reading mainly. Yes! I finally, finally got the hang of correct exposure by changing all the little bits on manual mode. YAY!

Took some photos yesterday but not have enough time to download and proof yet. Will share you this from the wedding we attended early this year in Victoria. This was close friends of Chad. Lovely, lovely couple. So great to have met them.

Wonderful Borders!

Hooray! Finally got my hands on this gorgeous borders from itty bitty. I've also got some great brushes that I can't wait to play around with but of course, felt too lazy to make my own borders and so decided to get these. I played around with them and I can tell you that I am very happy that I decided to get them. Here are some samples of photos that I used.

This is my nephew, Matthew with his tantalising eyes. Gorgeous Boy!

My beautiful boy who is growing up too quickly.

Played with colour on this one and loved how it turned out.

My lovely little girl with softening the layers and stuff.

I am so excited about these. I am hoping to start proofing soon.

The last two days...

I have started reading on photography again and will probably start going into it seriously, just a matter of organising the rest of the stuff first. I have tried taking some photos but not much usually only inside the house so I think the quality is not really good. I took this of my little girl playing in the kitchen inside the party tub. It is sort of too bright, i think because the background is the fridge. Anyway, here it is. It came out a little bit blurry but this is all I got to share for now.

My Lens and I

I am still playing around my new lens. Its 85mm 1:1.8 but still haven't really figured it all out. I loved how it takes great portraits though which makes all the subject really the centre and blurs the background, but of course there are still more things to learn and I know it is more than I think. Just to share, here's a photo of my little man I took , of course some help from photoshop.

There are some photos that come out under exposed and all I have to do is change it in the levels in photoshop, which means there is something I am not quite getting here. Hopefully someone will read this and point it out to me before I will find it cause I'm thinking it might take a while before I find it out. Hmmm.... Any photography guru out there?

My angels!

It is still so amazing that I have my very own little girl and oh with so much personality too. She amuses me of the things that she does now at only 8 months old. She lets me know when she doesnt want something by shaking her head left to right and making this distinct disapproval sound. She gives me this huge smile everytime she sees me from across the room and waves

with both her hands. Those curls are just adorable, they are stubborn and wont go where I want them to go but still I can have them in pigtails whenever I want. That's my little girl.

My one and only son, what a blessing he is. My smart little boy. Oh, I still can't believe how smart this boy is growing up to be. He can count 1-10 at two years old and counts them in spanish at 2 1/2 years old. Now, he knows a lot of things that I am even amazed how he came to know them. Of course, with that I have to be prepared with the arguments that follows his questions. He nows reminds me the speed limit when we pass one and knows everything where I put them. It helps when I forgot where I put the things too. That's my big boy.

Photography Workshop

I am slowly learning more and more about Photography, I dont practice as much as I would like but I would really like to know more. I am looking for an online workshop that offers lessons that is not too restrictive and no time limits and still havent found one. I do remember though that I have seen a link to a photograhy lessons in "ittybitty actions" website before. I think it was the old website since I cant find the link now. I cant really remember the website of the photography workshop so I can even google it either. Still waiting for the right one and I know it will come when I am ready.

In a lighter note I would like to share this photo of my nephew, Matthew. He is so gorgeous and so adorable in this photo. I cant even believe it came out really good. I cant believe it too that I took the photo, not much confidence on my skill there yet, I know I will get better.

Merriwa

I have known Merriwa even before I arrived in Australia, tried to look for it in the map and Internet while still living in Thailand. We were supposed to get married there, in this church pictured below. Although visa didn't got in the way. I still got to have both my kids christened there so that was enough. I always liked traditions and this church got a tradition with my husband's family so it was good to be part of it. Although I didn't take this photo so I cant get the credit for this, I'd thought I'd share it.
