Justin.

I love both of these edits... I'm not sure which is my favourite.

Two more of Matthew.

Matthew doesn't normally like posing for my photos. I need the practice!!!

This first image had minimal post processing... just added a little contrast, took the saturation down a touch and viola...

 This next photo has had quite a bit more processing down. Added warmth and haze to the same shot.

  

This last shot I added ........ errr... something, lol. I can't remember!! Probably something like the one above. I like it.

 

A Little bit of Maffy.

I've been enjoying playing with my camera just lately. I own a Canon 60D and love it. Yesterday I decided to put on the "nifty fifty" lens - Canon 50mm prime lens. I don't use it much, well hardly at all really, so it was time I had a play with it. I'm so glad I did, coz here's three of the photo's.

I have been preliminarily booked to do another horsey session... it will turn into a few, coz the horses don't do as they're told. We have fun though. 

I am quite rubbish at working out what makes a good pose, or a good angle, or great at editing, but I'm learning. Slowly. I think I'm improving. I hope so. 

I also had another fiddle with the Cromer photo from the last post. I like the processing I did with it this time. Although I still love the other version as well.

 

A bit AWOL - Pic heavy!

So I've not posted anything here for ages!!! 

The house now has a conservatory, which we love. The garden was also redone by a lovely blokey called Gregg, and his dog Rudi.

How gorgeous is Rudi??

The conservatory has given us another room downstairs. It's fab! If Justin is watching football and I don't want to, I can sit out there and do whatever. I love it.

 Not a great photo, but showing what we had done. Pity I didn't take the photo after the bench was the right way

up!

 Matthew showing off the bistro set he put together.

Above is the most gorgeous Dawson from a doggy shoot I recently was booked for. He is a cross between a Golden Retriever and something else, lol. He was funny. He didn't do much he was told to, but he was so photogenic.

Now for the fabulous Elijah! Oh, and the odd pic of us as well!

A boy loves his grandad...

 So there you go... we also fitted in visiting the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum as well!!

And we just knew things were going too well.... Justin is being made redundant in June... the second time in two years. The department he works in is moving to Poland!

Project Life weeks 3 and 4.

I am loving doing Project Life. Although I don't always seem to get the greatest selection of photo's. I'm also realising I have quite an eclectic style.  

 

Week 3. The beginning of the snow and also Matthew's 12th birthday. I think now I need to add a big 12 or something to the photo of Matthew, I've realised that there's no mention of his age here, only the date...

We had just a small family tea party Matthew's request. He's not into big birthday parties, and that suits us fine. Elijah, our little gorgeous scrumminess of grandson, helped him to blow out the candles on his chocolate birthday cake. His present was a Nexus 7 tablet which he loves. He likes to play poker, lol.
There's a photo of my lunch when I was attempting the 5:2 diet... I've managed only one day of this diet. It takes willpower... I've not got any!

 

Week 4's photo's are mainly about the snow. I added a large single photo pocket to incorporate 2 photos I love that I'd taken over the river on Tuesday. The snow stayed on the ground for over almost 2 weeks until it was eventually washed away by rain over a week later. I'm also showing off my cupcakes. I would make them every day if I could, now that I can make them!

Look at the little robin resting on a bottle.

 



 

 



A little bit flowery.



 

Even though the images are quite large, they become clearer if they're clicked on.

 





Project Life - Weeks one and two.

I didn't take as many photo's as I thought I'd taken, so some of the pockets are more filler cards than I'd of liked. Nevermind.

 

 

Matthew created the bottom left Happy New Year cards. I'm not sure that he really enjoyed it until the last card.

The core kit that I use is the Cobalt kit from Becky Higgins. Lots of the other little embellishments and journal cards/filler cards are free downloads.

 

 



 I really must improve my writing...

 



Fiddling with my camera.

I love it when I buy myself roses. I get to get my camera out and try to take some decent pics of them.

This is what I came up with this time!

 Fiddling with textures.
