What To Do When It’s A Sunny Day

March 10, 2010 Photography

Take photos of course! OK so that does mean harsh shadows (I know, I know!), but I still want some snaps of days like this. Sunny, warm, music playing out of the living room window.
We sat outside most of the afternoon, it was glorious! This summer is going to be a good one, I can [...]

Playing with Photoshop…

February 28, 2010 Photography

Just because I haven’t been picking up my camera as much over the icky weather doesn’t mean I don’t still have plenty I could do!
Here’s a photo I took almost 2 years ago, when Max was 5 months old. SOOC:

It’s pretty dark, although his eyes are actually in focus (!!!). He’s got some scratches on [...]

A photo I’m actually happy with!

February 21, 2010 Photography

This doesn’t happen very often, that I take a photo and edit it to the point I actually *like* it!

Zack rarely sits still enough for me to take any photos. The only way I managed this was by putting on Spongebob Squarepants and sitting him in front of the living room window for some decent [...]

Lazy-Bum

February 17, 2010 Photography

That’s me… I’m a lazy sod sometimes. Right now I’m being a lazy-bum with my photography. The light here 5-6 months of the year is, quite frankly, shit, and I don’t pick up my camera as much as I could, or should.
That doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything photog related though! I’m still reading through [...]

December 20, 2009 Photography

Yeah, so it’s totally *not* technically correct in any way shape or form, but I reckon it looks kinda awesome! He’s groovin to his music and looking at me at the same time…
My trippy lil dude.

Not a Clue

November 25, 2009 Photography

Magentas,  cyan, yellows, greens, under and over exposed.
Curves, levels, hue, saturation and gradients.
I am on a steep learning curve with Photoshop.
I can do lots now, but I still have so much more to learn.
One day I will feel comfortable with explaining what it is I’m doing.
For now I will just enjoy the pictures made prettier/weirder/different [...]

It’s not that I don’t love taking photos…

October 31, 2009 Photography

It’s just that I find it hard to find the time to do it. I want to take photos of the boys, but I know that I’ll be lucky to get any of them in focus, the metering will be all wrong, or the colour will be out, or… my pet hate at the moment, [...]

Playing around with my new toys

October 26, 2009 Photography

As you know, I recently got a new lens, and I have been having lots of fun with it!
Here’s an SOOC shot:

And here it is once I’d played around with it in Photoshop:

Don’t ask me what I did to it, something with levels, curves and filters… other than that I’m not sure!
