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.

Share

My first share. Not a great photo but its a start. This is the Broome sunset taken in auto mode as we were late and trying to catch the camels for a ride and of course we were too late for that too. Enjoy!

Finally!

I now have my very own blog for posting photos. This would be a portfolio of my work as well as where I can see the progress of my experiences with photography. I am happy that this was possible and I am excited to record my improvements.
