[School Holiday Snapshot]

I'm not a great writer so don't mind me I find it difficult to jot things down, so I will share a picture taken of my son during the Easter school holidays.  His little sister feel asleep in the car and we jumped at the chance while she was snoozing to take a few minutes of photos.

Just as I got out of the car to get my setting rights, yep it started to sprinkler with rain.  This photo I was up a lot higher than he was so he was most likely getting rain in his eyes...such a trooper.  Love u xx

Thanks for passing by,

Lisa

P.S to the head blogger people, you need more fonts, 7 fonts is not enough I need a bit of variety!!!

[ Ta Da! Photos from my new addition ]

Since we had a public holiday on Wednesday due to Anzac Day I asked the kids if they would come out to take some pictures with me and my new camera.  I was given the replies 'yes', so I jumped at the chance.

Amongst all the silly pictures that I got, I did manage to capture some ones that I really love.

Here are a couple of their goofy ones, Miss C could not stop laughing (not sure what about, she went a little crazy for a bit before she decided she had had enough for a while and put her cranky pants on!  She can be a high maintenance gal!

[ A few shots from January 2012 ]

I have been very slack with my blog, but life can get in the way.

I have finally updated my DSLR from my Sony a350 to a dashing new, well secondhand, Nikon d700 and oh my gee! I love this beauty.  So before I start posting images from my new addition I wanted to share some pictures I took of my son and daughter from back in January...yep a slacker!!

Around this time I was getting frustrated, I just felt like I couldn't get crisp enough photos and up until this time I didn't actually know when you know you are ready to upgrade but you eventually will.

Thanks for reading,

[ Word Free Wednesday ]

[ Woohoo, my new lens! ]

After playing with my camera and photos for the past 12 or so months I started to become aware that my photos were not sharp enough.  Sure I could sharpen them somewhat PP in Photoshop but its not enough.  I have been pondering which lens to upgrade to and ended up choosing the Sony DT 1.8 / 50mm.  I could have gone the 85mm f1.4 but as it was a couple of hundred $$ more I thought as a small step up I would go for this one.

Seriously this lens is a beauty, sooo much sharper than my kit lens and excellent in low light.  For me this is what I need for now.
