My son's eye

I have never taken an image like this before, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. My son and I were having a cuddle and I noticed how long his lashes actually are, so I had to get a picture of them. I was only able to reach my phone, so it came out a bit grainy. That doesn't matter to me though because I love how you can see his eye and the length of his eyelashes clearly. This is my favourite picture of him so far. Please feel free to leave any comments.

An Interesting View

The above images are just a few of my favourite photos that I took on a trip earlier in the year.

Luckily, for the first image, we were on a road in the middle of nowhere, which allowed me lots of time to adjust for lighting. I was happy with the result I got as it allows you to see through the tunnel as well as some of the detail within it.  

Beauty and Make-up

As well as loving photography, I also enjoy make-up and trying out lots of different looks and discovering new and interesting ways to photograph it. As well as being a stay-at-home mum and  an aspiring photographer, I am also a Nutrimetics consultant. I love testing out new products and finding the best way to photograph them, to show how good they are.

Below is just two examples of some photography I did show casing some nail art, foundation powder and other various products. 

I like to try and crop them in interesting ways and focusing different aspects in each photo. As always please feel free to leave any comments or questions you may have.

Some of my favourites

These are two of my favourites photos I have taken of my son recently. The first one was when we went to the city where he loved looking at the fountain. I love this photo especially because of the way the water looks. I think they look about bit like diamonds cascading down a river.

I also love the photo below of my son playing in the dirt. I love how when I take my photos I can capture the moment at hand. This moment, where my son was showing me his hand, only lasted for a moment, but since I was there, and ready. I was able to capture it. I love that you can see the detail of his hand and that his eyes stand out even though his face was not in focus. I think it makes for a more interesting photo.

As always I would love to hear feedback if you would like to leave it, and please let me know if your child has a party coming up or similar and you would like me to take photos for you, so you are able to enjoy the time yourself.

Flowers

I love to photograph nature. I love how I am able to capture its simplicity, and complexity and how it is always changing and can brighten your day. These are just a few images of some flowers I have taken recently that I really like. As always please feel free to leave your comments :)

The Grandis

Recently I went on a holiday to Forster. While I was there, my family and I decided to go on a walk. In  a holiday activity book we found that we could go on a short walk to see 'The Grandis - The tallest tree in NSW'. We thought this would be an interesting thing to see, so off we set. We had my two and a half year old with us so we weren't counting on spending a very long time there.

Unfortunately, our plans changed rather quickly. We had not been there before, so we were not familiar with the roads and were just using our GPS to take us there. We followed the first road for a short while, only to be met with a road block. This resulted in us having to find a different way to get there. Well, long story short, we did eventually find the Grandis! 45 minutes and about 100kms later (all with my two and a half year old in the back seat), but I think it was worth it.

At the end of the photo above you can see the trunk of the tree. It was enormous! I am so glad that we got the opportunity to go and see it.

We were able to see 'The Grandis' from a few different views. Being so large you get a wonderful look of it coming into view as you walk up the walkway. Then you can also see it from different sides as you walk around it. It is just a bit unfortunate that I could not find a place to photograph it without it being obstructed by leaves and branches from other trees. I even tried to find a good place to photograph it by lying down on the boardwalk. I had to do this so as I would be able to get the top of the tree in the photo.

The Beauty of nature - Welcome to 2015

One of my favorite subjects to photograph, besides my family and friends, is nature. I love its beauty. I was so happy to be able to find the beauty of nature, so close, and right outside my door.

These are some flowers that were on my balcony. I love the bright colour of them. They just look stunning.

There were also alot of spiders and webs clinging onto the trees and bushes nearby. Although I am scared of spiders, I love that I was able to capture this image showing the intricacy of the web.

Hopefully this year I will be able to take many more interesting images of nature. What is your favorite thing to photograph in nature? Or what images of nature do you enjoy this best?
