Day 24 - 24th Jan 2010

I'm still trying out how to do a 'panel' pano. I haven't quite figured it out, although I know the steps in photoshop. So my pano was going to be photo of the day (well really 3 photos stitched together), but it's crap.

see... told you it was crap. I still have to work on the blending, exposure, and stitching etc.


So instead here is one of Kayla. I love the sunlight glow, gave it a sepia treatment.

Day 23 - 23rd Jan 2010

Another day of not taking many photo's. I have had my sister come to visit so we have been having fun together.

Last night we missed the opportunity to take some really cool photo's of the sky. The moon was red! It was read because of a bush fire out near Rose's Gap.
We went up to big hill at about 10pm last night, but every man and his dog was out there. There were about 50 cars and 100 people, all doing what we wanted to do, take a photo.
So we ended up coming home, but at least we got to see it, but alas no photo.

So tonight I decided to get the tripod out (I handily left it at the front door), and walked down to the corner (yes we are on a corner, but another corner, as this street is busier), and set up the camera. Put the camera on bulb (suxs having to hold the release, need a shutter release, might have to look into getting that set up) and then just waited. Ok so I counted and waited.

I've never taken a 2 minute photo before. The longest exposure I have ever taken has been about 20 seconds. Also I have never taken a long exposure in colour! It's always been black and white.

So this is why today's image is in sepia (just do be different lol).



I had loads of fun, and I will be doing 'bulb' photos again that's for sure!

Day 22 - 22nd Jan 2010

I didn't end up taking a lot of photos. I think about 10.

This one was the best out of the bunch, but it wasn't well exposed. My own fault really.

But here is a self portrait with a seventies feel.

Photobucket on firefox is gone to being spazzy again. I have had to open up ie, just to use photobucket.

So here is the image.

Day 21 - 21st Jan 2010

Today's image is that of my 'front'/back door. I say front door, cause everyone comes to this door, but it really is the back door. If you know my house and the way it's positioned on the block you'd understand.

Something different. I like the lines, and the differences in the colours.

Day 20 - 20th Jan 2010

We were walking along Sloane Street coming from the Library, going to the playground. Started to walk pass the SES building. When I stopped to take a photo of it.

It was such a sunny day and I thought that it would do well with the lines of contrast.

Day 19 - 19th Jan 2010

Went to the Cato park playground again today. Met some mums and their kids. Captured this image of Miles. Again not looking through the view finder.
He has cookie around his mouth. I could have cleaned that up in photoshop but I figured he is 1 he is bound to have some type of dirt on him, especially since he puts anything and everything in his mouth.



*Edit

I'm adding a bonus image.

I really like it. Again wasn't looking through the view finder but hey it works!

Day 18 - 18th Jan 2010

One of Kayla's Christmas presents was a sand pit. Not the clam/shell ones, but one that has a stand and an umbrella!

I set it up after we got back from our holiday, but I only just got sand yesterday! Sand only cost me $4 and omg did Kayla and Miles have a ball with it! What is great about this particular brand of sandpit is that it has 2 sections, one for water and one for sand. In saying that. There is NOW sand and water in both sections.

So Day 18's image is one of Kayla playing with the sandpit.

Only did minor editing in photoshop, just to clean up the colours and contrast.



*Edit

I should advice that this week I'm doing a theme. That theme is 50mm. So my all my photo's this week are set at 50mm with my lens.
