Some new layouts and a photo

Amy has just released a wonderful new kit which was perfect for my garden photos. (Found here: http://www.ndisb.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=65)

We have about 5 watermelons on the vine and I am really having difficulty trying to find out if they are ripe. I picked one earlier and was so disappointed after cutting it when I found it was white inside. So now I think I will wait until........



I love this photo of Sonia at the snow with her feet in my gloves. Her gumboots had filled with snow and feet were cold so here she is resting. This was the stage of shyness where you do not look at the camera.

And here is my photo for yesterday. I can't bear these brush turkeys as they are so ugly and chase you during nesting. OK I have only been chased once, but that was up my driveway.

Have a great day!

Dogs Dogs and More Dogs

Well for the last few days, the dogs have been in the limelight. They are perfect material for photography in that they are active and won't look at the camera except when tricked. And if you use a flash, you get yellow eyes. So you are forced to work with camera settings.

Poor old Cheetah, our old lady at 13 years is on daily medication that we are trying to regulate.

This was last nights sunset. I was cooking dinner but as soon as I saw the colour out the kitchen window I rushed out with my camera. The colours lasted less than a few minutes but were spectacular.
Cheetah again. Don't you just love her eyes. She is bossy, demanding and noisy but very loving.

And after a dog photo session in the study, I decided to put the best shots into a layout. The girls both want copies printed.

Have a good day!

Photo a Day

Well I have decided to join in the Photo a Day challenge where you take at least one photo a day. Apart from the fun of actually playing with my camera each day, I think it should spur me on to really start working with the settings. I'll be posting as I download.
