a photo every day for a year
I love summer holidays! Lots of hanging out with friends, barbecues, and playing board games. Sadly, I was the second to go bankrupt in this game of Monopoly!
This is the first (and so far only) photo I’ve processed in Snapseed on the iPhone. I like it, but I think I like the controls in Photogene2 better.
I failed to finish this 365 project last year. Although I took a lot more photos than I posted, I fell too far behind in posting them and it all fell in a heap. I’m starting again with high hopes and flexible rules!
Happy new year!
Yup, more flowers! These ones were taken at Abbotsleigh School for Girls in Wahroonga.
Every year the Archbishop of Sydney gives a series of three lectures at the school, which we’ve been attending for a number of years. If you’re in the area next February, consider coming along!
Gerberas are some of my favourite flowers! They’re such a happy flower!
These ones were at my Gran’s; she usually has some lovely fresh flowers adorning her kitchen table.
This is Morgan practicing kata Empi. He was gracious enough to let me take photos of him for this project.
I’ve been doing karate for six years, and Dave (my husband) longer than that, although we’ve been a bit slack in recent years. Morgan was a beginner in Dave’s class when Dave was a sensei; he’s come a long way since then!
These trees were absolutely beautiful when they sprung out their pink flowers… I wish I had taken a photo that did them more justice. I wanted to capture the the cute little arcade in its cuteness, but I fear I failed.
I love candid photos. Happy snaps are fine, but I find that candids usually catch more of the moment, and person’s real character and beauty, than a posed photo does.
This is my friend Geraldine at San Churro Chocolataria for our friend Nat’s birthday.
I really wasn’t sure what to take a photo of this day, but I noticed we still had the Roborally board out from the games we’d been playing recently, so I grabbed a few shots of it.
What a great game this is!
My camera is able to take multiple exposures and compile them into one automatically, so I thought I’d try that out.
I’m not sure what I expected the result to be, but it wasn’t this! I think I thought the differences in the exposures (i.e., me) would be clearer and less ghostly, but now that I see how it works it makes sense that it would turn out this way. Although I’m not sure why it’s built into the camera— what would you use it for that you wouldn’t do in post to have a bit more control?
I drive past this church fairly regularly and it’s rather imposing on the corner, in comparison to the low-lying buildings around it.
