Photography

Today the sky looked so beautiful as the sun was going down.  After a few months of mainly wet and grey weather it really warms the cockles of my heart to see the sun.  It was shining bright all day today, even though it was bitterly cold outside. Well, cold by Dutch standards, it was just below zero, which would …

This morning Xander and I went for a nice long walk with the dogs, for a little photosynthesis, as he called it. He grabbed the dogs, I grabbed my camera and off we went.

I have sweet F-All to write for this one.  Maybe I don’t have heroes? I don’t know, but I can’t think of any that have let me down.  Except maybe P!NK for not replying to my letter! So, I’ll leave you with this cute photo I took of a wooden butterfly for my 365 photo for the day. I know, …

Last night our friends Paule and Warnoud came over with their daughter Faela. You may have heard me mention Faela a few times. Cutie patootie that can talk the hind leg off a mule? Ring a bell?

Early this morning Xander and I decided to take the dogs to the park for a walk.  We haven’t been to De Twee Heuvels before and it’s nearby so we went to check it out.  There isn’t a lot there, some paths and a lot of people with their dogs.  I assume it’s probably a lot nicer when the weather …

If you are friends with me on Facebook you’ve probably seen me talking about how much I wanted a Crumpler Singapore Sling. Well, I got one!

This was the cover of a calendar that my mom sent me for Christmas last year. I was sort of bummed when I took it down because it was really cute and funny. My mom knows me so well…

Man, taking the photos for the 365 project is not too bad but remembering to blog them every day is.  I think it’s because I’ve often been forgetting to take the photos until the evening and then I end up too tired to bother blogging.  I’m gonna catch up now and see how it goes. I dare say this won’t …

Day 4 – Now that the holidays are over I’m back to my usual diet, and I’m so glad. I love all that forbidden food but it really makes me feel like crap.  I have to admit I did overdo it a bit, and ended up gaining about two kilos. Not bad in the grand scheme of things, especially since …

I was looking over my tree tonight, dreading the thought of taking all my Christmas decorations down and putting them away, when I noticed this ornament.  My husband and I bought it the first year we were married, in 2000, which was our 2nd year together and first year as husband and wife. I still feel way too young to …

Something I’ve always wanted to try was painting with light.  Basically you go in a dark room with a flashlight, candle or any other source of light, set your camera to a low ISO and a long shutter speed and move the light around to make the design you want. This morning I got up and tried it while it …
