Day 242 - Mystery Photos

A bunch of strange photos turned up on my laptop via icloud photo streaming. After a while I worked out that Henry was taking photos of the ceiling on my ipad while we waited in the pharmacy! Henry came home very sick today with a high temperature and it seems, a lung infection. We came home with antibiotics, a puffer and spacer. Now that will be a real trick to get him to happily use that!

Day 171 - An Impossible Task

Today's impossible task was "Fave Photo You Have Ever Taken". Well with 22000 images on my computer, I gave up fairly quickly. I take a fairly big number of photos, almost every day. I always take at least a couple for photo a day and for this blog. After a bit of though and sifting, I realised it was like fishing for a needle in a haystack. I have been taking photos since my first ever camera (a little pastel blue one that took film) and so instead, here is a selection of current favourites on the fridge. They probably aren't as current as they could be, but the selection reflects the excitement I had in taking photos in Henry's first year.

Day 167 - Love Your Camera!

Peta and I were very much looking forward to today as we had both arranged to do a photography course taught by Angie Baxter, called Love Your Camera. The main aim of the day was to use your DSLR to shoot manually rather than only ever using it on auto. As I haven't had it long and had struggled to get my head around the manual settings, today was fabulous.

Peta and I drove over to Lanyon Homestead (what a beautiful setting) quite early for a Saturday and once we got past the cows blocking the road (yes they do move if you beep gently) we were all set to learn.

This little yellow duckie was one of our models for the day. The rest of the day we had to use ourselves. Here he is in the woolshed.

Day 66 - Photo Day

I think when we get our school photos back then I may swap my picture for the above one, which really isn't very exciting. After a morning of running late, with an extra nappy change thrown in that was a bit unexpected, followed by Dale's missing keys, I jumped in the car knowing that I would be late. Staff photos were at 8.45! Finally I got to school, no parking spaces out in the street, none left in the staff car park which wouldn't have resulted in my standing in mud up to my ankles, I had to drive around the corner to the small carpark at the sports field. I finally got into the school hall as the photographer snapped the last picture. He kindly took another, so that I could be in it :)
