{Twinkle Twinkle Lincoln Lights!}

OK, so I've always wanted to take a photo of Port Lincoln at night from Winters Hill. Last night, on the way home from Camera Club, Tiff, Laura and I 'happened' to have our camera's in the car and did a slight detour!! I think these are OK, I'm happy with them, I think I've got a couple of ideas for next time I am up Winters Hill at night to try though!


I took about 6 photos, but the best were these two. I think there's another one with a twinkly star in the top right corner, but it was just too much DARK!!


I do love the longer exposure shots - I think the bottom one here was about a 30 second exposure, and the top one was 15 seconds.

Next time I'm up there I'll be sure to have the tripod, instead of resting the camera on the stone wall that goes around the carpark!

{Lake at Sunset}

Laura, Tiff and I ventured out to the lakes towards Kapinnie a few weeks ago to experiment on some 'long exposures'... wow, I learnt a whole lot of new information that night!!! Here's a few of my shots from the night.







Hoping to do this again sometime!!!

RAW!!

Has it really been this long since I've posted here?? Oops, clearly I'm not a true 'blogger'. I'll improve, surely. Can't get worse can I!?

Ventured into RAW today- after communicating with a pro, Philipa Smoke from Sweet Chilli Philly Photography and asking if she shoots in RAW at all (probably a silly question to ask a pro, but hey, I had nothing to lose!), she informed me that she always shoots in RAW, it's the only way to go - so I grabbed the camera, worked out how to put it into RAW mode, and went outside where I had some small people playing! Here's what came out of that!!

{a little bit of flare}

Lens flare that is. I stumbled across this action on PS... threw it on this photo that I'd done a bit of editing on... and voila. I think it really tops it off.

{She turns 7...}

Luka turned 7 yesterday - She had a friend sleep over, no party this year!

We gave her this gorgeous pettiskirt, she just adores it. Hardly taken it off since yesterday morning. I got it though Kym White, a friend who has this business.

Here is the cake... she requested this which was so easy to make... had to be with a 15mth old clinging at my legs wanting to be picked up! lol



Cake time!!

Dreamy being a 7yr old - you can imagine anything!!

Cummins Community Bank Airshow... 11/4/10

This even was brilliant. Once again. Our kids had an absolute wow of a time watching the planes, soaking up the atmosphere.

North American Trojan

RAAF Roulettes - just awesome
Dave Benson, opening and closing act!

Sewing time...

Thought I'd give these a go... Twirly Skirt and Fabric Basket as I'd caught a glimpse of them on This blog which linked me to the tutorial.. or two!! Thanks Meredith.



I'm pretty chuffed as to how they've turned out (considering I'm not a sewer!)- I have a little boy who has ordered a 'boys' basket with tractors instead of pretty girls things. I think I can manage that mate!
