Belfie - thanks, she's been awful all day but seemed to improve a bit in the last couple of hours before bed. I see you're having a bad day with sickness too - is that due to the tests yesterday? Sorry you have had a bit of a miserable Aussie day too :(
Belfie, it didn't take me long to play on picnik. I did a few in less than 30 mins.
Just coming home from the fire works. I was playing with the settings on the camera and wished the fireworks would have gone longer. I should have used my smaller lens as we'll to get a wider picture. Oh well, I got one or two that were okay.
Lol, I was wishing I used my telephoto lens:
Swoop, I'm wondering when the next fireworks are on so I can improve my skills.
Googling this arvo wasn't any help.
Were you at home taking photos of the Harbour?
Aww i love fireworks, i bet your pics are gorgeous girls.
Hey ladies check this link, i almost thought if you freeze @ 1:06 that CBG's moon pic was in the bottom right but i think it was one that was similar around the same time.. any BB girls pics on there ????

Yep... well, the view was a bit obscured by the trees so I ran down the road, a couple of minutes from my house. At this time of year they're every few days, but i always struggle to find out when and where. Did you go right into Darling Harbour?:
Is that the news report ZF (I'm on my phone)?:
I checked it out and I'm pretty sure it's the other moon pic with stripes across it. I was going to screen shot it if it was mine.
Oh yeah, those fireworks that are regular are down on the harbour. I was down there for dinner and dessert in November. Something about the Lights of Sydney.
I was closer to home. Only go into the city if necessary.
Yeah the news thing, yeah i def think it's the other one :( how coul would that have been
Yep, I went one year and it was good but it was awful getting home... wouldn't have done it with a littlie in tow... not til she's a bit bigger anyway.:
wow you ladies can talk!
i wish i had my phone with me tonight! the local butchers was being restocked, i looked in the back of the meat truck, and well yeah you can imagine! i use to love morbid things like that! now i get kind of creeped out, but still find it somewhat facinating, tried to convince df to go back but he wont the meanie :( lessoon learned must take phone with me at all times, the anoying thing that it is!
struggling with the "you" theam, ive kinda given up bit by bit everything that "defined" me, just no time anymore so lost intrest... has got me thinking tho!
You lot can seriously talk! I'm not even going to attempt to keep up, but I have been checking out what people are doing.
Here's my entry for the WWYD2 comp - I went surreal. For a change. :p
All the shots I took today were crap. Apart from a really cute one of my DD being patted on the bum by our friend's baby, which really had only cuteness in its favour, there was nothing compositionally interesting about it. I think I do better work when I'm not thinking about it so much. When I try to compose a shot, rather than just shooting intuitively, I over think and end up with really dull shots.
Off to bed now...
Well I missed the fireworks tonight :( We were supposed to go to MIL's as she lives near the river and we were going to watch them from there but she's sick so we couldn't go. We just had a quiet BBQ at home so took a photo of DH cooking the snags :)
I've just been looking at the WWYD! Great photos girls! I might give that a shot. Tomorrow, I'm going to try and do my YOU picture.
Man I've been slack!i hadn't uploaded a photo for a few days!i have taken them though. Naughty. I will hopefully put them up tomorrow
Took some sunset photo's with the proper thingy on my camera. Will put them on facebook, since I already did yesterdays photo.
ZF - if you look back through my photo's on my fb page (either one, lol), all my photo's from 08, 09 & most of '10 were taken on my phone. I had a nokia N95. It was 5.0MP, the one I have now is only 3MP & it sucks :lol:
Am loving all the pics, all the Aus day ones are great.
Suse i LOVE your pics, prob nowhere near as bad as you think they are ;)
~Clover~ - Yeah mine is a 5MP aswell, it does the job :p
They are great! I wanted to get another 5mp one, but they cost too much :lol:
I have my camera to make up for it now :) Used to take a great photo though!!
Mine still can come out quite fuzzy but i just have to try and fiddle a bit :)
I want my cousin to start doing the 365, she has some amazing photos, she basically uses picnik and photoshop every now and then for her editing... i might give picnik and go on one of my next shots
ZF picnik is great. So quick and easy.
Once I've selected an editing option I've started playing with the percentages to get varying affects. Like the WWYD project I chose tint, made it a purple colour and increased or decreased the settings. It added a different dimension to the photo.
Thats what I did with my sunset photo. Played with the tint & warmth in windows photo editer. Thats how it came out darker purple than it actually was.
I change to B&W etc in there too.
I like picnik, but there is so much on GIMP I'm working out! My second toolbar closed though (the one on the right) & I have no idea how to open it again...
I'm trying to work out GIMP.. thats how i did the latest one to look like an oil painting :)
I like to smudge ;) I can make my skin look all lovely ;)
Clover, check out taaz dot com
It's an online makeover site
Hun in GIMP if you go to TOOLS then down the bottom select TOOLBOX you shoudl get that other thing back (i think)
I'm only taking my photos on my phone but I do have a 12mp camera on my phone (Nokia N8).
I want to get a new camera, but that is on the shopping list for a bit later on (damn you ikea since i spent my camera money in you the other day)
DarkDreamer - You're on new faces. with your 'you' photo. Clickity click
Do you think it's cheating if I use the photo I took the other day (saturday I think) for my 'You' one? I don't know what else to do to represent me. :dunno:
I've just uploaded my photo for today.. not sure if I can use it for my 'you' photo, but I am a bit of a chocoholic!
Mine is still not a "you" photo. I'll get around to one, I promise!
I still haven't done my hope one or my you one. Ahh.. I had fun today though, taking photos of the bush:D
3 of us are on New faces!
Dark Dreamer - You
Mel A - Aussie day &
Jewel - Aussie day :D
ok, done!
ZF, you gave my brain the biggest work out it has had in a LONG time!!! but i think i finaly got it! befor kids, there was 3 things "important" to me, and since i no longer drink, putting a bottle of jb in there would have made an exy shot!! i forgot how good the pastels smelt untill i opened the tin tonight, ahh its been to long, should try pick that back up!
i also added one i took of the kids yesterday so i think im caught up!
loving the shots! they keep getting better
Ok, I did my 'YOU' photo today, keep in mind that my blog is all about my DS - so basically I set the camera up on continuous shoot, gave it to DS (21 months) and hoped he pointed it at me - he did in a 'part of my face chopped off' kinda way :rofl: Here it is
(oh and yesterdays is here )
Anyway writing the accompanying blurb made me think about me - as me, not a Mum, so good one ZF, I had a little reconnection moment with myself without the Mummy title attached :)
MummyNaomi... no I mean... Naomi - you made me think! I love the way you did your shot too.
So I'd put up my cycling angry as a "you" shot, but reading your post I thought, well it's really NOT me, and it's not what i want to be. So back to the drawing board and this is closer to my "you"... I love the fantasy genre, fairies, wings, green - it's all very "me" and not mummy-me either.
ZF - I'm jumping the gun a bit here... but really really so very YAY for you :dance:!!!!
just wanted to pop in and say hi loving all the pics and its keeping me very busy lol..
oh i have news..guess what.....drum rolll...i joined facebook pmsl....
???? YAY FOR ME ????:
I am loving everyones YOU pics, i haven't had a chance to take a pic today, the memory card wasn't in my phone so i might just try and make up for it tomorrow.
BUT DP surprised me tonight by coming home with an iPhone 4.. he upgraded his business plan and got me a little present :dance:
So i will have a new phone camera once i get a sim card and am hoping i can get some decent pics while i wait for my batteries :)
YAY for FB, feel free to add me :):
Belfie, that's awesome! What do you use to make that cool edging/border?
Naomi - That's such a beautiful photo. Cuteeeee!
Belfie - I like both of your photos. The emotive one of you and the fairy one too. Both very cool! I was wondering about your borders too.
Barney - I didn't know you didn't have fb. YAY! :P CAn add me if you like too - Tenny Koellner
ZF - YAY for you. What a lovely suprise.
Everyone has great ideas for their 'you' ones. I feel so behind the eight ball ( yep, very woe is me :p)
ZF - yup YAY for your iPhone :) I just love love love mine
Tali & Jewel - my borders are lazy lol. I'm using an app on the iPHone called hipstamatic. It's a 'take' on a cult classic camera (from the 80's i think?) which had these kinda effects... so it takes all pics square & depending on the "lens" and "film" you select, you get different effects. My fave selection gives the rough-edged film (the border) and the blues/greens/romantic/dark kinda feel (lens). So it's really nothing else that I'm doing, once i"ve selected what I want, the pic comes out like that. One of these days I'll shop for a few more lens/film combos cos it's sooo much fun. I don't do any post processing. The only thing is that some shots come out looking awful so i tend to take HEAPS! And ZF, there's a free app called instagram which i've downloaded but haven't played with yet, I gather it's simliar to the hipstamatic (or as a friend of mine called it, the hispatanic :rofl:).
