Day 10 my little photographer

Today is the first day back at work for Scott and Leo is back at Pre School. So it's just the girls at home. I asked Abby if she wanted to have a play with one of my cameras, she jumped at the chance and wanted me to teach her how to use it.

Abby is my PAD and here are some more that we both took.

I shot this to explain to Abby about shutter speed, I asked her to move around while I took it. She moved a lot lol. 

She took these photos of Leo's favourite toys, it was good to see her rearrange things and make the shot look good. She hasn't yet learnt about horizon lines and crooked images! 

I love that she took this photo all on her own with the concept in her head before hand. She said she wanted to find some nice leaves and circle them around a strawberry. I think she did well :) 

She had this idea in her head of how this photo should look but found the macro lens too tricky to hold, so she set it up by carefully placing the flowers in the right position then told me how she wanted me to take the photo. 

She wanted to take a photo of me, she did ok. 

She said she wanted to take a photo of herself like I did the other day, here I am trying to show her how to do it which is really quite tricky to do. 

Another practice shot

Bang! she got and I LOVE IT hehe, she even does the head tilt like me :) 

Her in full concentration mode :) 

Day 9 wine time

Today we had our lovely friends come and visit, as usual Adair brought some of his wines. So this is the photo of the day.

I promise to get more creative tomorrow but today all you get is this wine bottle shot.

Day - 8

This afternoon we went to the local park, the kids really needed to get out of the house run around a bit.

I tried unsuccessfully to get some business work done. I'm behind on a couple of things so that's what I'll be working on tonight. I'd much rather watch Bear Grylls on fox but it he will have to wait for me. Oh how I do like Bear hehe.

So here is today's photo, no kids, just a water bottle some pens and camera :)

Day 7

Busy day for the kids, I dare say that had a lot of fun!
In the morning Leo and I went to the shops to buy him some textas, he wasn't impressed that Abby had bought some and didn't want to share so we went to get some of his own. After Lunch we took the kids plus our friend Gordon with us to Wizzy World (kids play centre) It is the perfect place to take kids on rainy days and they all had a blast including Minna, she had been there before but that was back in the day when she was more interested in milk and sleep. She just loved it! I'll have to take her back for more fun and adventure.  She even found a boy the same age as her and I think they fell in love, it was the cutest thing, they looked at each other and then embraced, hehe so cute.

After Wizzy World we dropped Gordon home and relaxed (well I tried to with Minna getting into mischief) When we returned home I needed to keep Minna up until bedtime so I put her in a wash basket with water, she had a lovely time until it started raining about 2 minutes after she got in.

Here is the photo of the day.

Day - 6

Today was just lovely. Sigh, I got to have some me time which doesn't happen very often. I went into the city and caught up with Johnno and his new girlfriend Einat to go see the Annie Leibovitz exhibition. It was fantastic! I enjoyed looking at each image and trying to figure out the lighting, admired the compositions and just enjoyed seeing this fantastic photographers work.

In the morning I laid a big kiss on each of the kids and had to get a quick snap of them, Leo doesn't like messy things on him so there was no time to catch a photo of his kissed cheek.

Love Minna's expressions here :) 

Day - 5

I'm not going to feel like doing this tonight so I'm posting this now, just a quick pic of me.

Day 4 - January 2011

Today we finally got the kids out of the house, well the 2 big ones anyhow. It was suggested that we go play putt putt golf and we decided that was a great idea so off we went. For those interested Scott was first followed by me then Abby and Leo.

In the afternoon Minna and myself had a little play outside :)
