No models!

So it was either the cat or the cabbage patch baby... well the baby was staying still for me LOL
I am in LOVE with my new lens and have only taken 27 photos with it!!!

I might creep in and wake the Pipstar up!!!

In the bath again!

It really is the only place these days where Pippa is actually willing to look at the camera - in other words, she can't escape LOL

ISO 100, f/4.2, 1/20 ss, fl 42mm - my own conversion - not an action in sight!!!

On a sadder note, my new lens didn't come last Friday... but guess what is waiting at the post office for me to pick up in the morning!!! YAY!!!

New lens!

YAY I ordered my new lens today - what a beautiful thing it is!!!!!

I can not wait until the weekend - watch out kiddies!

Cliche

"Never compare your journey with someone else's. It's a marathon with no finish line. Someone else may start out faster than you, may seem to progress more quickly than you, but every runner has his own pace. Your journey is your journey, not a competition. You will never "arrive". No one ever does."

I found this quote on ILP and straight away it appealed to me - I love looking at other photographers' photos - oohing and aahing over them, but I also love the style of photos that I take, and let's face it, I am not a professional by any means, but I think I do okay and get better every time I get my camera out. Well I hope so anyway!

I learn something new every day. (how cliche is that LOL)

Little Miss C....

My niece is a cheeky little thing! I hadn't seen her for a couple of months - they were meant to come to Evan's birthday but Miss C fell over just before they were coming and split her right eyebrow open, which required glueing, so I haven't seen her since just after Christmas! She is a pure delight! And her little curls are getting curlier!

Miss C has the darkest eyes I have ever seen - they really are that dark!

I love the above shot except for Layla's thong in the background!!! I could have cropped it out I suppose but it was late and I couldn't be bothered!

I was really pleased with this shoot, my sister is fortunate enough to have beautiful polished boards and loads of lovely light (very jealous!) so it made my job just so much easier!

Miss C is one of those little kids who is allergic to absolutely everything, and I take my hat off to my sister for dealing with this so well! Miss C is very lucky to have her as a mum, as am I to have her as a sister.

A few of my favs from today at the park

We are fortunate enough to live about 2 minutes walk to beautiful parkland (lake included!) so off we went with all the kids in tow (any excuse to take a photo!)

Pippa running towards the lake!

In the background is our local MCH Centre & community centre.

Evan telling me he is much much taller than me!

Layla trying to hide behind a stick!

Pippa just because!

More of Layla.....

I finally got Photoshop CS3 !!!!!! YAY - haven't had much time to have a play but just a few shots I played with of Layla.
