The 365 Photo Challenge #3

[Swoop]

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.

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.

[~Lashes~]

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!

[suse]

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.

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.

[Asparagus and Lemons]

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

[~clover~]

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

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

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

[~clover~]

They are great! I wanted to get another 5mp one, but they cost too much
I have my camera to make up for it now Used to take a great photo though!!

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

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

[CharlieBrownGirl]

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.

[~clover~]

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...

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I'm trying to work out GIMP.. thats how i did the latest one to look like an oil painting

[~clover~]

I like to smudge I can make my skin look all lovely

[CharlieBrownGirl]

Clover, check out taaz dot com
It's an online makeover site

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Hun in GIMP if you go to TOOLS then down the bottom select TOOLBOX you shoudl get that other thing back (i think)

[Sopdet]

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)

[Jewel]

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.

[bec293]

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!
