:hug: ZF. I'm sure you'll find something beautifully fitting for him. :hug:
I tried some candle pics and wasn't happy at all, nothing stood out so while uploading the best of the crappola DD1 says look mum rainbow.. and outside i see THIS.... i knew it was him guiding me.
We have always said he was the brightest star in the sky but also that he watches us from above ALWAYS so i think it's very fitting, he's brightening our evening only this time with his smile :)
ZF - wow that is such a beautiful tribute. I had to wipe away the tears before I commented on it, he was so young.. and such a beautiful smile x
My photo for today is further evidence that I am going stir-crazy because of sleep deprivation. I wanted to take a photo of another apron I made, a child sized one that is too small for me to model so I hung it from the ceiling fan to get a photo of it hanging in the light. Don't ask why, but then I switched it on, and between dodging flying apron strings I ended up with a heart shaped abstract that apparently has been mistaken for a freaky eye by at least one person.
I managed to get a pic of my cat today, he moves so quick its always a blur. Pretty happy with his pic today.
Yesterday's was a sneaky shot of my DH and Lachie asleep on the lounge... Dh always tells me he didn't fall asleep, just resting his eyelids.
oh dear. It's almost 9pm and now dark, and I haven't taken a photo today yet.
Don't stress hun i didn't do much today either, i did manage some cleaning before 10am and mowed the lawns this arvo though.
So HERE is what i got, just another mummy moment pic.. nothing special about the photography aspect of it.
I'm playing catch up again this weekend. I'm being a bit lazy tonight so I dunno if I'll get any uploaded or not. :ninja:
You're all doing such amazing photos. Such talent!
Sorry I haven't commented on photos. Will try do it tomorrow. Busy busy.
my pic today - managed to take one earlier today thank goodness.
ZF - loved the one for your brother :hug:
Today's effort - back to shooting the kids again (not literally). I wonder if I can take a year's worth of photos, taken entirely within our house and garden? I look at some people's shots, taken in the most wonderful locations, and I never leave my house. It's nigh on impossible to get outside to shoot properly with the kids though - I can't fulfil my role as responsible adult when I have my photographer brain on. Euan once fell down a flight of stairs (that was baby-gated, we still don't know how he got up them) because I was taking photos at a party (DP thought I was watching him and went to get a drink, I was off in photo la-la land). I miss doing landscape and location shots, I'm almost looking forward to when they start school, I might get more opportunity then. But it's nice to find ways to be creative using what comes to hand.
ive been taking them, but havent uploaded as im kind of on borrowed net, got a message saying such'n'such left, and well, it should have died friday morning!
so ive been to scared to upload or look at pics since!! as soon as it dies, im getting df to buy more (he has already proven he cant last as long as me without it:rofl:) then ill do a mass-catch-up!
love the one for your brother ZF, i think thats the last one i looked at.
hehehe Suse, that made me giggle!:
Will post properly during the week, but in the meantime here is yesterdays and todays - I LOVE how todays turned out :)
x
I really wanted to go out and get some scenery shots today but sort of got side tracked with going for some treatments at the spa - would have loved to have taken a pic of the mud they encased me in but I'd left my phone in my hotel room. I want to get some scenery shots but really hard when driving on highways sometimes to just pull over to take a pic (especially when you're running late for a wedding - just as well the bride was late is all I can say!). Going to make the effort to go out and get some shots before going out for valentine's night (which for me I've been told is starting mid-afternoon).
Oh Sopdet, what a shame you didn't get any mud shots! I have a black & white shot on my loungeroom wall of a closeup of my breasts encased in mud, it has this wonderful organic and sculptural quality to it. Many years ago I was given some Dead Sea mud and had given myself an all-over body mask. My housemate took some incredible shots.
Sorry ladies, haven't been on much lately. Just mainly browsing and posting short ones. My pics recently have just been with my iPhone as that's always near me and small enough to carry :) Captured a praying mantis (I think that's what they're called!) today with my proper camera. He's creepy but cool :)
Loving everyones pics, seriously ladies everyone is so talented, you all have a keen eye :)
MN - DD1 climbed her tallboy, only thing is she figured out how to open the drawers and use it like a ladder (Eeeek)
Sopdet you lucky girl - enjoy enjoy enjoy...
In honour of Valentine's Day (and red roses at ten bucks a pop) - I present Plastic Passion...
mine is boring again today - the ones I wanted to take (ok the ones I did take) would be classified too AO for this :)
:rofl::rofl: now you've got me thinking... :p
Sorry guys. Haven't taken a single photo since finding out about DH's pop's passing on Friday.
Will go do some fill ins & try to get back into it...
Swoop - LOVE that the cheesymite scroll is BIGGER than your beautiful DD :)
CBG - there is something cool about your 'repetition' shot, I think I love the pattern of the building, its a bit old world :) Oh and the bridge!! Lurve it
Clover sorry to hear about DHs Pop :( Love the beach fill ins
My little man was crook earlier :( I ended up catching a few handfuls of lovely spew but he is sleeping peacefully now bless him, I took a pic of his slumber :)
I'm going to get DH to help me make a box so that I can take some box shot pics of DS - it will probably take me a few weeks to get organised but I cant wait - will OBVIOUSLY show you the outcome (unless they are completely crap, then forget I even HAD this idea LOL). To get an idea of what I mean - check out these pics
I think I over used smilies (and unsmilies) in my last post
:( :) :( :) :( :)
:ROFL:
aah well in honour of V's day, you get to see a pic of my spunky chunks :lol: and he was just complaining the other day that he didn't feature at all (I feature more than he does... guess I'm vain lol).
MN - oh those box pics are SO cute!
Suse - love the plastic passion, nice!
Clover - so sorry to hear about DH's pop :hug:
I finally got yesterdays photo very late, but just in time for it to be that day. I was on my way to bed, picked up the camera, snapped, then went to bed.
Todays was taken just as quickly, I just had way too much to do but got a cute pic of my smiley bub.
I'm hoping inspiration hits me now that I have some more time on my hands.
I've finally caught up. :p
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Today
Nothin' too spesh.
Clover - I'm sorry to hear about your DH's pop. :hug:
Naomi - That box this is cute. Thanks for showing what you meant cause I was all like "what the..?" at first.
Belfie - I love the borders you put on your photos. Happy Vday to you and your man.
Suse - I always love the angles you use. It makes me wanna do better. :p
Bec - Your little man looks like such a happy boy. His smile makes me smile back. It's catchy.
Sorry I tried to catch up a bit. Still behind. :redface:
Jewel, love the heart!
Honestly ladies i am LOVING everyones pics... didn't do much yesterday and got today's already.
Might still fiddle with the iPhone later but i thought it was nice so atleast i know i have something.
Am really beginning to wish i had my camera back, there was a GORGEOUS night shot to be had last night and my iPhone just wouldn't co-operate. :(
YESTERDAY
TODAY
I'm still catching up after all the sickness in this house and then a few days away up at the outlaws over the w/e. I've uploaded all my photos now, but only just starting to get arround to looking at other peoples and commenting and responding to the comments on mine.
Missymoo - thanks for putting my photo forward for your fave of the week, I am touched :)
Today's. Meh. :rofl:
:doh: how can that be a MEH , that is GREAT:
Suse - I think it's great too!!!!
Suse - you're cheeky :p LOVE your shot!
Ok so I'm still in pet-land... now I've done 'em all :) presenting my first tuddytat
Thanks guys! I guess I feel it's a little 'meh' because in terms of technique or style it's not really anything different to what I'd normally do. I'm trying to expand my technique and today everything new that I tried was just blah. Ah well, tomorrow is another day right?
yet again mine is boring today :)
Going to make the effort to go out and take my shot tomorrow.
Sneaking in....I really love checking out your photos...I wish I would have started doing this....stupid holiday made me miss being on the computer lol! I might try next year but will probably be all alone :rofl: x
Ok, i am stuck stuck stuck - I've uploaded 3 pics to fb, any input on which one you think I should use would be much appreciated :) They're the first three in this album.
You don't have to start at the beginning of the year - why don't you do it from now? Go on :):
