I was lucky enough to be asked to go along to a maternity photo shoot last week. To prepare, I spent a lot of time reading articles and forum threads on Digital Photography School and then flicked through Flickr to see some examples of maternity phot...

Friday at TAFE, we were shown how to use the selection tool in Photoshop and as an exercise we had to select and cut something out of one photo and paste it into another photo. I COULD have cut out a butterfly and placed it on a flower. I COULD have ...

William, Madeline (and her friend), Giorgia, Annabelle and I went to the zoo with my sister and niece, and my girlfriend and her two kids. Unfortunately Bill and Tiesha couldn’t join us because of other commitments. It was an early start because we...
Cloning a goat
I tried the cloning tool in Photoshop for the first time. I took this photo a few weeks ago while we drove past some farms and while the photo turned out ok, I wasn’t happy with the barb wire fence in front of this hairy fellow. Isn’t he cute?...
Bird watching
I’ve never really paid much attention to the birds on our walk along the lake until I started taking my camera with me. At first only gulls and these funny looking birds that are always sunning themselves on the rocks caught my eye but lately we’...
I spy!
A couple of weeks ago my friend told me that while she was checking out the photos that she took on our visit to Mt Keira, she was surprised to see a camera looking right at her in one of the photos. It was in an old tree stump that was lying on the ...
Vampire boy!
My girls are natural posers. They love being in front of the camera so I always have lots of photos of them to share. But William is camera shy and doesn’t usually let me take photos of him….until I threatened to put his naked baby photos on Face...
Show me the $$!
Ahh, tax time. The time of year when you either hear of people complaining about how much tax they have paid or you hear of people yahooing about their awesome tax return and what they’re going to spend it on. There will be no big spending spree f...
Heading north
I love just getting in the car and going for a drive without actually knowing what our destination will be. A couple days ago, Bill, Giorgia, Annabelle and I went for a drive up north. We drove up the coastal road and stopped at Bald Hill, Stanwell ...
Dirty Little Sucker!
I have to say that every time my friend Scarlett and I go on an excursion, it always turns out to be an adventure. Today we decided to visit the Rhododendron Gardens in Mt Pleasant, with her son and one of my girls, Giorgia. What started as a pleasan...

Our excursion today – visit to the Air Museum at the Illawarra Regional Airport in Albion Park which is run by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society… Our tour guide was Russell Field, one of the many volunteers of HARS. Russell gave us a v...
At the gardens
Bill, Annabelle and I went to the Wollongong Botanical Gardens today with one of my friends and her son. I love strolling around the gardens, looking at plants and smelling the roses. But today the main purpose was to get some good photos. ...
Heads down, bums up!
I seriously can’t let this Wordless Wednesday post go wordless! This guy was having such a fun time dunking his head under the water and flapping his feet about We were all standing on the bridge, cracking up at him! LOL This post i...
Picassa does that?!
Remember I mentioned that I was doing an “Introduction to Photoshop” course? Well next week is the last week of the course and we haven’t even opened Photoshop! Granted, the course is being held at the school that Giorgia used to go to and when...

Nan Tien temple
As part of the TAFE course that I’m doing, we went to the Nan Tien temple to take some photos. I’ve been to the temple before but I found that this time, I was looking at things differently when I was taking photos… I took l...
One awesome machine
One of our neighbours is currently fixing up his beast of a car and every time he starts the thing, our house trembles, literally! While he had it out of the shed today, I ran out there with my camera so I could take some photos. I love chrome in bla...
Portraits and asbestos
Giorgia’s school organised a fundraising event where you could purchase a 10 x 13 colour or B&W portrait for just $10, framed. I was considering having us all dresses in jeans and white shirts. I like family portraits where everyone is dressed ...
Wordless Wednesday (almost)
I don’t have time to read back so I’m not sure if I mentioned it already but I’m doing a course, Introduction to Photoshop. Part of the course is to learn how to use the manual settings on the camera instead of relying on the preset functions. ...
Mum’s snap happy again
The problem with being the 2 youngest kids is that, when mum wants to take photos, they have no excuse. They can’t take off shopping or out with friends or wherever LOL Technorati Tags: giorgia,annabelle,photos...
