Days 57 - 60 From Best to Worst

Day 57 - Monday 26th Sept 11 - New Bag

Aahh Monday's I hate thee so much!!!!  But my photo for today is exciting, this is my new camera/ handbag - isn't it awesome, it arrived in the post last week, I bought it from a company called Jo Totes and this was my birthday present from Mum and Dad. 

I absolutely love it, the bag came with special inserts that protect your camera and it is huge, I can fit both my camera's and my extra lens, along with my wallet and crap etc. Do you like my styling, thought it looked better with the mag!!

Day 58 - Tuesday 27th Sept 11 - Sunset

Today I was hoping to use my new bokeh kit but I don't think it is going to work very well with my lens which is disappointing - even though when I bought it I thought it was compatible, I'm not so sure now. I am yet to give it a really good try but so far I am having problems getting the pretty sparkles it is supposed to produce.  I stopped off at the water on the way home hoping to catch some sparkles as the sun was setting but as it didn't work I just took some more sunset photo's instead and How spectacular is this!!!!! I am sooooo happy with this photo, the colour, the frozen clouds, the pelican in the shade - love it, love it, love it, actually this is my favourite photo so far in this project.

Day 59 - Wednesday 28th Sept 11 - Winner

So excited today, recently I won first prize in a competition that I didn't even remember entering.  The prize was $1000 worth of designer cashmere clothing from an Australian company called Gasperre and the parcel arrived today. 

So I won a black cardigan - not really my style but will be nice on a cool night in summer, a beautiful baby blue throw and a sloppy jumper - the company have been so lovely and I had my choice of colours etc - so if you ever want to splurge (and I mean splurge!!) Then I would recommend this company. 

Winner!!!

Day 60 - Thurs 29th Sept 11 - Bokeh

So I go from my best photo so far to my worst photo so far - all in two days.  I bought this Bokeh Kit from the USA and it is supposed to make pretty light effects except I just can't get it to work.  Not sure if it is my lens or just my blondeness - but this was me experimenting last night.  I am hoping for a bit of sunshine this weekend so I can get down to the water and play a bit more.  This photo was taken in my lounge room and it is supposed to be a heart shape - I don't mind the softness of it but overall pretty disappointed. It's actually getting harder and harder to find things to photograph at the moment - I'm almost all done on flowers and lunch time walks - hopefully with daylight saving starting this week I can try and get out for a few drives in the spare 15 min's I have between getting home and going to dance during the week.  This means's being super organised and actually taking my dance clothes with me before work each day and ensuring I have done all my food shopping on the weekend.  On a side note - it is the start of a long weekend and hopefully it'll be a good one - heading out on the town with my dancing girls Friday night and GRAND FINAL day on Sunday where Manly is going to whip the Warriors Arse!!! 

Let's hope I get some good photography in as well. 

Cheers Donna
