<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">LOL yes..... its been a loooong time since I've blogged.. anyhoo I do really want to blog more but I've been so busy lately with Xmas coming up, shooting a friends wedding and another's engagement its just been so crazy! leaving for Sydney next friday and am SOOOOOO looking forward to some good quality R&R. Not sure if that will be possible with my friend Rata haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyway I came across this video about getting sharp images.. some of it I already knew but I just thought it was soooo helpful and wanted to share with all of you! It's in simple, plain english so if you are familiar with most photography terminology you will find it easy to understand. I just thought it was great to get tips like these which are really hard to figure out yourself starting out in photography. So here you go. Watch and learn like I did! =)</span><br />

We all went down just for the day and visited 3 sites down there. Wow it was soooo much fun to finally go on a roadtrip. I just love roadtrips and going down with friends makes it 10x MORE fun. I definately wouldn't have had such a great time if I wasn't down there with my photog mates :) I really enjoyed the redwood forest, boy those trees are huuuuge!! It was a damn shame I didn't have a lens with me that could shoot wide angle.. but I made do anyways ;) here's a shot I took just stitching the pix together :) If you are wanting to do the same, just make sure you are shooting manual so your settings don't change from picture to picture ;) I just use photoshop to stitch it together.. its really easy using photomerge. Click on the photo to see it a little larger ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I loved Hangarua Spring too. It's just amazing!! The water of the spring remains sooo clear because it's contantly releasing so much water the dirt just doesn't get a chance to settle. It pumps out approx 4.5 million litres of water every hour.. amazing right?? Here's Doug looking down on it haha >></span><br />

But was very nice of them :) Thanks guys!!<br />
<br />
Overall the experience was great!! I was SOOOO nervous though. Even though it was a cool day I was sweating bullets!! I just really wanted to do a great job for these guys :) This day was a long time coming too. They have been together for 15 years before they finally decided to get married ! :) It was awesome to see Justin wear his cultural attire too :) Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Next wedding is coming up in November!!! Am really looking forward to tackling another big challenge, and a longer shooting time too. I was only able to stay for the ceremony for Justin & Julie but for the next I will be there from the bride getting ready through to the reception!! So will see how I go !!! If any of you out there have some tips for a novice wedding photog please do leave us a comment :D</span>littletiger06http://www.blogger.com/profile/06291175430145001784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140534311260411576.post-882723442772208792011-05-26T01:36:00.000-07:002011-05-26T01:36:46.472-07:00The bride gets ready :)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So my lovely friend Lily got married in Wellington a few weeks ago (15th May 2011 to be exact). Boy was it fun to go down and be part of it!! I was not only chosen to be the maid of honour but also to take pictures as she got ready on the wedding day too. So I was a little nervous as I had ALOT to do! haha. But it all turned out perfectly in the end. It was just so great to see two families come together and have a great time. The emotion felt on the day was soo great. It was awesome to see my friend walk down the aisle in her dress. It was certainly dramatic! And what an entrance she made. It was my privilege and pleasure to be apart of it! Here's just a few of the shots I was able to get :P</span><br />

Just finished watching the Royal Wedding in London and I really didn't think I would get all caught up in the hype but I totally did!!! Just watching all the programs before hand re-telling of Royal weddings in the past and the history behind all the buildings etc etc, wow it was just awe-inspiring. Now more than ever I am looking forward to Doug and my wedding Day ! So exciting !! The dress was simply amazing. It was traditional but I think Kate pulled it off brilliantly. She looked amazing and she had the amazing body to do it. Her sister was a knock out as well. Kate just looked stunningly natural and beautiful.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The whole thing was just amazing, the venue, and I especially loved the trees lining the red carpet in Westminster Abbey. That was amazing, the bright fresh green contrasting with the red carpet made for some amazing video shots.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway this is another short post because I totally can't sleep because I'm still buzzing over it all! I also thought it was super cute how Will and Kate kissed twice on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. I totally missed the first one anyways haha it was too quick. And then another one!! Just shows how in love they truely are.. Real love. <3 aww warm fuzzies all round ... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">oh ok, so this photo totally doesn't relate. hmm what can i say to make it relate lol. I suppose these people are having a blast feeling on top of the world just like Will and Kate felt today. The look on their faces was pure happiness. Wishing them all of God's blessings in their marriage. :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I can't wait till I get to have my turn to be on top of the world :D</span><br />

Holla at me :D<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ok, I just want to say I am obsessed with Jasmine Star atm! I know it sounds creepy but omg I looooove her work =) And even more than that I love the way that she does business. She's all about the Jasmine Star experience. How friken cool is that? haha. And even though she's wildly successful, she still responds to those who email her. I know , because she responded to me. ^_^ :O! I enquired about how much she charges (wondering if I could ever be able to afford her for my wedding :P) I really appreciated her getting back to me, and unlike alot of other photographers I've enquired with, she was pretty up front with her prices which I thought was cool. Too bad though its Waaaaay outta my budget but if I did have the money, this is the chick I would choose to shoot my wedding. She's amazing you must check her out. Here's her <a href="http://www.jasmine-star.com/">website</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">You probably already guessed - but if you didn't know, Jasmine Star is a well known wedding photographer from Orange County, California. She has an amazing <a href="http://www.jasminestarblog.com/">blog</a>, which I have been glued to this week. She takes her inspiration for her work from magazines and fashion. Could I love her anymore? Don't think so!! Everytime I read her posts or browse her photos I'm like, this is soooo me. I'm sure we would be best buds if we ever met.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If I ever could become a professional, I think I would like to be like her. I love her style. It's very crisp and she mentions she's a big fan of prime lenses to help her achieve this. That's it, now I gotta go out and get one ha ha. Sigh. *dreams*</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">She's also very generous with the knowledge she's gained over the years from growing her business into what it is today. I have already learned so much from her blog and also from a recent online streaming of a workshop she held on <a href="http://creativelive.com/">creativelive.com</a>. I could not leave my computer, I was so glued to the screen - I just wanted to grasp each little tip and trick as she openly shared for free. I couldn't believe it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">After watching that creativelive broadcast I just felt so motivated! I've been asked to shoot a couple of weddings for friends and I thought yusss, now I'm gonna channel my inner Jasmine Star WOOP haha. But as much as I love her work, I love what she said in the live stream and that was to be the best version of you. Something that she said really hit home to me and that was that if you try to be the best at this type of photography or that type of photography, its extremely likely that there will always be that someone who is better. But if you go out there and rock "you" and your own "unique" style, no one can duplicate that. Wow, light bulb. Why am I always so nervous thinking this person or that person is SO much better. All I should worry about is myself and my own growth :) I am on a journey to find my own unique style :) And I'm so inspired I just want to get out and practise!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">SO, if you know anyone that's engaged, let me know if you want to volunteer to be my models so I can "practise"! Linda and Tua, you're first on the list LOL. :) Hit me up if you would like a free engagement session ^_^ Don't be shy! It'll be fun. :D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">OH, and if anyone has suggestions for photographers in NZ that have reasonable prices please let me know =) I'm still on the lookout for our wedding photographer for next year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">AND, cause this has been alot more writing than I expected when I started this post :/.. here's some photos to spruce up the page. They were only taken with my point and shoot but I still love it for the versatility. And if you're wondering how I took em, I simply attached it to the car window with my <a href="http://joby.com/">joby</a> gorillapod and used the "party" setting with a 10sec timer. Oh how I must look strange to passers by, but that has never bothered me :P As long as I get my shot *cheesy smile*</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For as long as I can remember, this has been my favourite thing to do, spend time with those I love and take photos! xo</span><br />

Isn't she gorgeous!! She takes after her older sister.. ha ha ha WHAAAAT!? lol. My friend Steph suggested I take clone out the background and it made a huge difference! Thanks Steph =) Planning to print this to display =) I curled her hair before hand. It seemed to really boost her confidence for our little impromptu photo shoot =) And I just love the lens flare coming off her hair.. just gorgeous =) Front page material! xx</span><br />

It's Waitangi weekend but unfortunately we don't get a holiday this year due to the day falling on a Sunday. Darn it! But it was a beautiful sunny day here in Auckland and I was just grateful to get out and about without worrying about the rain! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Doug and I decided to take a lil ride around the bays this morning and it was soo picturesque. We went in the morning to try and avoid the midday heat - which we did. I was glad coz all afternoon it was incredibly muggy. Reports suggested around 80% :S</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway I got this software a few months back that enhances your photos and I bought it because I don't have a full version of photoshop yet and just wanted to experiment with post processing in a different program. It's quite fun but the adjustments can seem a little too "fake" for my liking but it is quite fun to see what you can do with it. You can adjust the sliders to reduce how fake or realistic you want a photo too look so I tend to not just use the preset, but tweak it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It works with iPhoto also which makes it really easy and fast. (I like) The program is called Adjust by <a href="http://www.topazlabs.com/">TopazLabs</a>. The reason I couldn't use it for a couple of months was because it kept crashing on me. So I emailed the support crew at Topaz Labs and they gave me a different version to download which seemed to fix the problem which I was really happy with =) I only use a couple of the functions on it so I don't know if I would recommend anyone to go out and purchase it. But if you do like to enhance your photos alot or like to make your photos look like paintings, there are a few options you might enjoy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway here are a few photos I've been taking this weekend.. really been enjoying the sunshine and I think I got a lil tan!! wow go Kirsten haha (whitey). I did use the program on all of these to give them a lil pop. By the way these are all taken on my compact =)</span><br />

I want to try and make this blog a little more personal this year and maybe just get back to what I really love and that's capturing and sharing memories. I don't know, I think I tried to be all formal with this but hey I don't know if that's me.. haha so I might take this lil blog of mine in a new direction this year. Gonna work on a new layout when I get the chance and start posting more! Maybe more often but not as loooong. :P</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

I just love filling it with all my favourite photos taken over the months. And as I do this, I just happen to glance over old ones. There's just something about having something tactile to hold and look at. Memories in a book - I LOVE IT!! "oh remember that time?" "oh look how young we look!!"</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The fireworks were just amazing this year (click <a href="http://littletiger06.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html">here</a> to compare with last year!).. I think that it sets the tone for what's to come in 2011.. onwards and upwards NZ =)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Being a tourist means its acceptable to take pictures of anything and everything haha. I generally take pix of things I find interesting that we don't normally see back at home. Loved the wall art down town and also inside the casino they had that fabulous sparkly roof. it was amazing. Couldn't really capture how cool it was in a picture but I tried =)</span><br />

Alot of stuff has been going on with me and so this blog has kinda been put on the back burner. Sorry about that! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So I was naughty and didn't go on the 8th photowalk in Rotorua. The guys had a great time down there even though it was a little bit wet it didn't stop them! Good on them. I think I was feeling just a tad bit lazy that day :S my bad... we all have our days right?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So I was greatly looking forward to this one. And seeing as this post is so late.. I'll make it quick with just a few of my favs. Hope you enjoy the pics that follow from our 9th photowalk (can you believe it?!) at Eden Gardens :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So yeah... all in all I'm very happy with the purchase. Doug also bought one in silver but he's having problems with the phone accepting his sim. Still working with <a href="http://www.3deals.co.nz/">3deals</a> to get this sorted. ITs very annoying!</span><br />

I missed out on my clubs photowalk this month :(. I decided not to go with them to Rotorua.. it was just too risky (in terms of the weather) for my liking. But heard they had a fab time anyways! Can't wait to see everyones photos :-)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Life gets so busy sometimes doesn't it! Anyway I have finally sat down to do it so here it is!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I wanted to write about this lil trick I came across in Photoshop elements because well its just cool ok! Sometimes its not appropriate but it can really add something special to a shot when used correctly. See below a picture I took of a forest up at Orewa (Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve). I was trying to get a nice sun flare by including the sun in my shot and hiding it with the tree in the foreground. I'm still perfecting this skill and I know that it also depends on the lens that you have but I still got a pretty cool flare there. But by using photoshop you can REALLY up the ante with your flare.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_hT3nGf9O2yLhBPnoI1W6SPxiT5ZHlfWpHUTs2n6NzrlvQjvvPLlWd2vND37Z58_8uy1j68pi2x6h1yQnAH4-OsMwWzKWAffmgdeYnaSrdkLe5T9xabk9iVnitY9ZhH1d62jRe_NiflM/s1600/IMG_7109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_hT3nGf9O2yLhBPnoI1W6SPxiT5ZHlfWpHUTs2n6NzrlvQjvvPLlWd2vND37Z58_8uy1j68pi2x6h1yQnAH4-OsMwWzKWAffmgdeYnaSrdkLe5T9xabk9iVnitY9ZhH1d62jRe_NiflM/s320/IMG_7109.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">All you need to do is go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare (see below for the menus). FYI I'm using Photoshop Elements V4. yeah yeah I know I need an upgrade ha ha ha. It still works for me for now!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikR3MxQKOiBTMM-RIdDbF_hxqVtuf-KkTQV928UNT7ZSLkBsFOUQj0UdVQjlQHI924scm_no9GjJD67UXiybG5Zp8ACZ1SvZFBC-0STQBuUfsSZ7jH3Yzf6oPDy_a-qYFhEiELcUw4IYg/s1600/Picture+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikR3MxQKOiBTMM-RIdDbF_hxqVtuf-KkTQV928UNT7ZSLkBsFOUQj0UdVQjlQHI924scm_no9GjJD67UXiybG5Zp8ACZ1SvZFBC-0STQBuUfsSZ7jH3Yzf6oPDy_a-qYFhEiELcUw4IYg/s320/Picture+2.png" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Now there's all sorts of different flares that you can add to your picture. What I like to do is to try a few out and see which one looks the best (and or the most natural if that is what you are going for). All you have to do is point the Flare centre to the source of the light by using your mouse. Its very easy! For this photo I decided to use the 50-300mm Zoom flare. I like the obvious circle it makes! pwetty :-)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hey guys.,</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Just wanted to do another quick post to share my latest and favouritest (ok not a word but I wanted it to rhyme lol) pictures of Dryke. He's grown so much in the time that we've had him and I just love him to bits. His personality has really developed and he just adores both Doug and I. He always pushes his luck with us but he's just so loyal, constantly happy and its just so hard to stay mad at him even when he is naughty!! I love these photos of him at the beach because I feel his personality just really shines through. He loves it at the beach., digging here and there and running around in a crazy fashion.. its fun to watch ;-)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Oh by the way., have no idea what beach this is ay. I couldn't find the name of it., but its around Hellensville way (West Auckland).</span></div><div><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In terms of my photography., I've really been pushing myself lately to use manual (most of the time I'm lazy and just use Aperture priority mode :P). It can be difficult at times and sometimes not appropriate, but I find it much better having control over both shutter speed and aperture to get the exposure that I want. Especially if I want to over expose it slightly to blow out the background as in the below photo. (This is Dryke's ball hehe)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502270777276469618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhar_hMbMlRkKfwzEeDSL7lH6OWMbkSqf7kudSQJlgFUwEVfQZFtZ9zo8_RhafkAvLXxgYkGTPeyqPUAZnnqfanlGP4fTR_N4r5IvNVIgwmnV-n5YCHyIAsf6Rs4q5s2GKz7ww4WefxNpg/s400/IMG_0245.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 267px;" /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I tend to focus on the shutter speed these days., just because I want my shutter speed to be fairly fast most of the time to make sure my photo's come out sharp and not blurry. If I just can't get my aperture low enough , I just bump up the ISO slightly and it tends to work! :P Also with a fiddly subject like Dryke who is constantly moving, I need a fairly fast shutter speed to freeze the motion. Photography is an art., sometimes it takes a bit of trial an error to get the shot you want. Anyway that's what I've been experimenting with lately! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Where the heck is that you ask? lol. Well here's the google map :P<br />(Sorry for my crap as scribble on it lol) . If you can't read the small font, the X is where the Auckland Zoo is.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501678759122653538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 331px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguE9NXFVRsGhrt4maukrQkdfcSwz6ubooG4PeCClQ2kwG3kq4NqvyQntfRHGXqAtcLWxx0GhSshJwQboGqxPCT3A0epI3ItWsYZhQMMjkb1BM9ybKh_MaXuPZn0_qRbKVaJquiFRKPi7U/s400/Capture.JPG" border="0" /><br />And here's a little bit of info from good ol Wikipedia :-)<br /><br />The Meola Reef, or Te Tokaroa Reef in Māori is a lava flow forming a reef peninsula across part of Auckland's Waitemata Harbour, New Zealand. It was formed 20,000 years ago from the final portion of a 10 kilometer long lava flow that originated from the distant Three Kings volcano.<br />The reef extends for over 2 kilometers across the Waitemata Harbour, to within 500 meters of Kauri Point, on the northern shore.<br /><br />The reef is easily seen in the west from the Auckland Harbour Bridge at low tide, when much of it lies exposed. The best viewpoint is at Kauri Point, the headland to the east of Kendall Bay. The portion of the reef close to shore is covered by mangroves, and further out, the rocks are covered by rock oysters, then bare. Strong footwear is needed to walk on the lava.<br /><br />I had absolutely no idea this was here. It was nice to do something different on our photowalk -a slightly more challenging walk than we normally do. It was very rocky and you need to watch where you step otherwise you would get stuck in the mud... literally lol. So glad I bought my gum boots along with me. But I actually really enjoyed it.

This week has been CRAZY busy at work. Seriously. So sorry I haven't had a chance to update here. I have craved to update but just haven't had the time.<br /><br />I've had alot of "photography jobs" to do this month which is AWESOME. Extremely challenging and scary but I LOVE it. Had my friends baby's baptism, my other friends art exhibition and and .. ok I don't have a third thing but its been very busy LOL! Its not just the shoot but also post processing. Still trying to get the hang of post processing but I think I am progressing. I really want to branch out with an updated photoshop elements but there are just so many things I want to buy - I need to just wait a while lol. Money doesn't grow on trees as they say!<br /><br />But I have been loving JULY. It was my birthday month and we had that week a while back where the entire week was just gorgeous in terms of the weather!! God was definitely smiling down on Auckland that week. Its was very uncharacteristic of Auckland weather in July. But hey., don't question it just soak up the sunshine yo lol! I certainly did! If you are a friend of mine on FB you will see how many photo's I have been taking this month just because of the fabulous weather!.. much more than usual!! </span></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I had my friend's little baby Dylan's Baptism shoot.

His cheeks are so adorable right?!!?! poor Dylan has been scratching his cheeks alot and were very red and sore so I used the healing brush in Photoshop to try and reduce the roughness a bit. I have been using colour correction alot too to make sure the colours are pretty much true to how I saw them on the day.</span></span><br /><br /></span></em></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></em> </div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></em></div><em></em><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wanwe_niG5KIxLsJiDP0CB9ZSDQx_85X9nG6a2_SfAMSlggIAcMfHohACLvjp5kJgO09SbTjfvLS1lV8oBI0KB7jAaKvCCAI-LVfg8_lfrKpx-6wptT-wFQ9fsG229fJ44VlnQzXWVM/s1600/38471_425252662256_631137256_5123130_2786213_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496956156199430882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wanwe_niG5KIxLsJiDP0CB9ZSDQx_85X9nG6a2_SfAMSlggIAcMfHohACLvjp5kJgO09SbTjfvLS1lV8oBI0KB7jAaKvCCAI-LVfg8_lfrKpx-6wptT-wFQ9fsG229fJ44VlnQzXWVM/s400/38471_425252662256_631137256_5123130_2786213_n.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div align="left"><em><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></em></div><div align="left"><em><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></em></div><div align="left"><em><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></em></div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><em><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The most adorable cheeks EVER!!!

Panic set in haha. But I thought., no I can do this!! LOL.. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size:115%;">Well., it turned out to be ok. I was a lil nervous as I didn't want to let Rachele down but I just did my best and I think the results turned out ok!! It has pushed me to think about getting a faster lens though. Next one will probably be a 50mm, but might have to wait another month or so as I've been spending way too much money lately !! But anyway that's another story.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:115%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:115%;">Anyway here are my favourites. She wanted these pictures to use as an invite for Dylan's christening. I think they are pretty good for my first real go! Hope you enjoy. To get the black background on some of them., I just asked Rachele's husband to hold a black sheet behind.. hahaha.. cool ay. lol.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT_Qbpsv5AdRa29nUojobopnwXY2f_Gh8igf6Beh_WULnkA7WrGCQEot1dAy2BJ3qfJyOo8-rRzk2UTU2n9o0fCS_VTsWRQmLwRGFIKGL-T3R3Z_kmij73V86KIvBx1-oXxT8AKK2vgsI/s1600/IMG_8494.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489933888781435714" style="DISPLAY: block;

Campbell attempted to replace the Totara however only a single Monterey Pine survived.

I've been a bit slack with the blog lately! The weather hasn't been too kind here on this side of the world lately (besides the last couple of days, they have been beautiful!). We're really into the swing of winter now having 4 degrees the other morning.. brrrrr!<br /><br />Anyway I don't have any photos to share right now (boo). I will do in another week after our next photowalk on Sunday. For now though I wanted to share this email subscription I get every week. Its from Elizabeth Halford - a photographer who is based in England. You can find out more about her </span><a href="http://www.elizabethhalford.com/about-2/"><span style="font-size:115%;">here</span></a><span style="font-size:115%;">. I really enjoy her style of writing and photography - its fresh and fun! I discovered her when reading one of her articles on the </span><a href="http://http/digital-photography-school.com/"><span style="font-size:115%;">dps </span></a><span style="font-size:115%;">website.<br /><br />If you are a keen photographer like I am., and/or enjoy learning more about photography, I really encourage you to do what I do and get online. There are thousands of very inspirational and informative blogs and websites that can help you improve in your passion. I find that email subscriptions are also very handy & convenient. Websites can often email you updates as they appear on their websites. If you think its not relevant for you, you can just delete it. But often I like to quickly browse these subscription emails and get my daily fix of photography info. (I sound like an addict huh LOL) Its just great!<br /><br />Below is one subscription email that I felt I needed to share. I hope that you also find it inspirational, challenging and eyeopening! </span><br /><span style="font-size:115%;"><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><em><strong>Q. “Last year I bought a Nikon D80 as a “more professional grade” camera for myself. Lately, I have been kicking myself because it just seems that Canon shoots better portraits, and my husband says I am already too invested to switch. So, I know that you are a Canon user…did I make a mistake, or can I achieve the same gorgeous shots with my Nikon that I feel others get with Canons?”</strong></em> </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;">A. Hi Kelsey! Oh, I’m so RELIEVED that you asked me that. I really should have thought to cover that myself since I know it’s probably the #1 reason baby photographers quit in the embryonic stage of their discovery. The answer is NO! A Canon isn’t better than a Nikon. And a point and shoot isn’t worse than a DSLR either (yeah yeah I know, people…boo…hiss…get over it!) Photographs have EVERYTHING to do with the photographer, not the camera! </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Now you wonder: under what authority do I make such bold statements? Many years of experience, that’s what! Here are prime examples: </span></span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-size:115%;color:#000066;">The best photos I’d ever taken until recently were when I first discovered that I loved taking photos and had a little Casio ultra compact ‘credit card’ camera. I wasn’t concerned about settings or sexy lens flare. I just learned composition and emotion and those photos are on my wall to this day.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:115%;color:#000066;">My best wedding to date was done on a Canon 450d. Moving up doesn’t mean your pictures will be better, it just means that you will think you have to work less for them and they’ll be worse. Don’t fall for it – you still have to work HARD. </span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size:115%;"><span style="color:#000066;">Now Kelsey, you said “…that I feel others get…”. This means that you’re comparing yourself to other photographers. Which is great. It drives us to be better. Not so great if you’re looking at photos on the Flickr front page like a 14 year old looks at Britney Spears on the front cover of Seventeen Magazine. Those photos have some serious post-processing ‘editing’ work done on them to make them look like that. </span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:115%;"><span style="color:#000066;">When I’m down in the dumps about my photography, I like to go on Flickr and look at the before/after galleries. Or check out Before & After Monday here on my site. It’s so SO good to see what professionals’ photos actually look like before they have been edited. They’ll probably be a lot like yours! </span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:115%;"><span style="color:#000066;">Another thing…camera envy never ends. I now have a 7D and still sulk about my photos not being “as good as their photos”. But it really has so so little to do with the camera. </span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:115%;">One thing I've learnt from upgrading from my previous camera, is that just because you don't have the BEST camera on the market, doesn't mean you can't take intriguing and interesting photographes that people will enjoy. The person who is behind that camera makes all the difference. People always ask me., wow your camera takes awesome pictures., hey what about me!!! LOL You still need to know HOW to use it!<br /><br />I think its so important to realise this and never look down on yourself just because you don't have the latest gears. Of course better gear does give you a few more options, just because you have a super mean camera doesn't mean you are automatically going to be a pro. It still takes alot of practise, experience and hardwork as Elizabeth has outlined in her answer above. Hope you enjoyed that Q&A as much as I did. Enjoy your weekend! </span></p><p><span style="font-size:115%;">Ok., I just have to have a picture to go with my blog post! A favourite using my old camera Fuji s1000 & a simple tripod, a much cheaper and less sophisticated camera than my 50D and yet I still love this picture...I know I'm bias (pic of my bf) haha but you get my point. »</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:115%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483889353024446786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwjk5VbRdV7sHhHPFmyBs-dJhJixQUlm840YJCmOAhKsiBYizTuu9QBqs8VbkmZVxHDg-PF6g_il1xW4lfQNFwTIcSox5OuyXoHGc_4UkEUp5jU2gNQ75a63IR5PRo2lifLe1g9W9Z6V8/s400/4408_107746742256_631137256_2394492_4757399_n.jpg" border="4" /><br /></span></p>littletiger06http://www.blogger.com/profile/06291175430145001784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140534311260411576.post-35163204989281798932010-06-01T21:58:00.000-07:002010-06-02T04:33:54.398-07:00Photowalk #5a - Bethells Beach!<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">HAHA., so last sunday was our 5th photowalk for our club. And we actually had 15 people come along this time! The only thing was, I got lost haha. There is no mobile phone reception out at Bethells beach and silly me, I thought i would be able to find everyone. But no... lol. I was there on time but I eventually gave up on finding everyone as I didn't know what everyone's car looked like and started driving back home. I got to Swanson and realised I had 2 txts from Joy. I pulled over and called her and she told me she was waiting near falls road. So off I sped, back west.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">SO YAY., at least I found Joy, Kenneth & Fatma. But alas , we headed off in the wrong direction and did a different bush walk that was actually planned. BIG FAT FAIL lol. ha ha ha. But hey., we still got to see some very awesome landscape.
