A Finalist and a quick snap

My BP Finalist - "Snow Queen"



And a quick snap of my daughter after she had had a shower, hence the untidy hair lol.



Oh how I LOVE close-ups!
Have a great day everyone! :o)

A Photo of the Day!

Another Macro

Another one of my pictures from the garden today.
I'm really digging that macro feature, on the Canon SX110 IS, Diane! lol

7 day photo frenzy - Part 2

Hi guys!
I am doing another 7 day photo frenzy and lovin' it! It's taking me out of my comfort zone. I guess I need a push every now and again to get off my butt and shoot other stuff!

Day 1. June 7th 2009 - "Your favorite drink"

Tea

I'm no good at product photography lol.
I just used my bedside lamp for my lighting on this. I thought the shadows looked pretty cool :o)
And it looks like my Tea has the spotlight haha.
I'm quite pleased with it actually!



Day 2. June 8th 2009 - "Nature"

The sky looked gorgeous this evening, plus, I love silhouette's :o)



Day 3. June 9th - "Happiness"

I have to confess, I never shot this on the 9th of June, and I am not in the habit of using archived files because I feel the whole point of the 7 day photo frenzy is to shoot a fresh pic every day.

But, my day got sucked up yesterday with dentists visits etc, so I didn't pick my camera up all day! *gasp!* lol

This picture screams happiness to me though!



Day 4. June 10th - "Hobbies"

Well, what did you expect really? lol



Day 5. June 11th - "Sleep"

Ok so I am using a file from January. I'm not sure where my days go!



Day 6. June 12th - "Macro"

Who needs fancy macro equipment when you have a Canon SX110 IS! lol
Both my hobbies shot and my Dandelion were shot with that camera. The macro function on it is amazing!
(Thanks DDK).



Day 7. June 13th - "My creative choice"

I went into the garden with our 110 IS again. My daughter spotted this fly.
Ewww!!! I can't believe the detail that camera captures! You can see the hair on it's back!!!

Sports Day

My Son's Sports Day was this week. So, off I went with my camera in hand.
I was in my element getting close ups of my son's face while he was racing. He has such a big smile when he runs.

He spotted me as he ran past. So sweet!



He receives a sticker for 3rd place...



...and jogs away with such a proud smile on his face! Almost looking like a footballer who has just scored the winning goal. Bless him!



I caught sight of my daughter on a mound of grass and had to grab whatever shots I could. She looked so beautiful with the sunlight and breeze in her hair.



I sent a slideshow of the pictures to the school.
The kids loved it and so did the Teachers.
I seemed to be the talk of the school, with Teachers approaching me, praising me about the shots I got, which lifted my spirits to unbelievable heights.
I walked away from the school with a big smile on my face :o)

I hope you are having a positive and happy day too!
