Learning how to do forward rolls on the trampoline.

Feb 10 -14

It's been a hot week here in southern Australia and my poor old computer is struggling with the heat, as am I. Hard drives are chugging, tempers are fraying and I'm getting behind in posting my daily pics and keeping up with the online course I'm doing.

On the upside I can read a few threads on my phone while I wait for a photo to open in Lightroom...

Day home sick watching Peppa Pig on the ipad

His legs are getting longer every time I look at him. He'll soon be tall enough to upgrade to the big red bike he so desires.

Happy Valentine's Day - hope you had a lovely one.

Feb 9 - a day in the life

Lately I've found myself getting very caught up in trying to get my colour processing right which has been a big battle and one I'm not going to win until I get my screen calibrated (if it can be!). I've been tearing my hair out trying to get the 'skin tone numbers' to work out just right and I forgot what I loved about photography.

Last week I was hating every photo I took and getting really frustrated with myself, my equipment and even my poor 'models', so on Saturday I thought I'd forget the technical stuff for a day and shoot what I love - lifestyle documentary photos of my family having a lazy Saturday. Excuse the photo overload - I promise I did cull but this was as small as I could get it!

 

Feb 1 - 8

Catching up!

February 1 



Listening to Stephen Fry read Harry Potter. Heaven. Could there be a better match?

February 2 



I'm experimenting with a full lightroom workflow. Haven't quite figured out the best settings for export - this is bit noisier and less sharp than I expected. Deep in thought (or staring at the television like a zombie?)

My littlest lego builder



February 4   



Feeling a bit grumpy after school. :(



February 5 



This little man has been a bit out of sort this week. I think he's missing his brother! Even though they've each had a day at home each week by themselves for the last year it must be strange to have him away a bit more.


February 6



A happier boy today (a day off!)


 February 7 

Riding to school.

His legs seem to have grown three inches over summer and this bike is looking too small - he just needs to grow another inch or two to be able to ride the next size up.
He can't quite touch the ground and while he doesn't need training wheels, he does need the confidence of being able to put his feet down!


February 8 



My little "indie boy" model. Adore this cheeky little boy!

Jan 31

My big boy had his first day of school today. 

He was a little nervous, a little excited but very ready. 

His highlight: having lunch and playing with his buddy (a grade six student)

The 'worst bit': having to lie down on the floor and have a rest

I can't believe I have a child at school! Where did the time go?
