Today I had the pleasure of sharing an intimate moment with a family close to my heart. The portraits are raw - both in emotions and in photographic technique. Yet, despite the lack of perfection, the images speak volumes to my soul...
Another gorgeous morning led me back to the park to shoot more Kowhai and Magnolias.
I must confess, when I was greeted by these gorgeous yellow flowers in the park this morning I had no idea what they were. But not to fear, my friend Google came to my rescue...
It was the most delicious morning at the beach today - bright and sunny but due to the wind there was fantastic surf crashing against the rocks - providing an awesome photographic opportunity...
Today was an absolutely stunning day - both in the park and on the beaches. I may have gotten a tad snap-happy...
A chorus of relieved sighs echo around cyber space - Franciska has found new subjects to photograph!!
I don't think I'll ever grow tired of photographing magnolias so I make no apologies for uploading even more images of these gorgeous flowers...
I have fallen in love with magnolias!! Take a look at these gorgeous images and I'll challenge you not to feel the same...
This is the third day that I've taken my 'real' camera on my morning walks and at the risk of sounding completely full of myself, I do believe that my photography skills are improving.
I am falling in love with my walks on the beach - which take considerably longer now that I take my camera along...
I FINALLY took my 'real' camera on my morning walk and all I can say is: why oh WHY haven't I done this sooner??
As I mentioned yesterday, the Nikon D7000 has a variety of built-in image editing features - not just red-eye reduction, but a variety of other effects can be applied without having to use specialised computer software.
They say never work with pets or children, however, they are the only living models I have at my disposal, so here it goes...
Over the years I have taken a LOT of photos: beginning with holiday snapshots taken on our first digital camera; followed by literally hundreds of photos of our baby girl; progressing on to early attempts at product photography; and gradually learning to capture better images worthy of internet publishing - albeit still of an amateur quality.
