September Sickness!!

So the beginning of Spring 2011 hasn't been too good to me, I spent the first week in bed with a chest infection and then as I thought I was getting better, I had a severe allergic reaction to something and my face swelled up like a puffer fish and consequently I spent a few more days in bed.  I'm not really sure what I'm allergic too, but it is something that I need to get investigated as it has happened previously, just not so severe, but that requires another trip to the GP which I'm kinda not really keen on at the moment.  Anywhoo onto Photography - despite all this crazy sickness I am still taking photo's so let's catch up on last week.  Again apologies for the lopsided photo's - no matter what I try, I can't get them to rotate.

Tuesday 6th September 2011

I didn't take many photo's today and only with my phone. I drove to work this morning and went for a walk down the water this afternoon where I snapped a few sunset shots, but really they were pretty crap.  This photo was taken out of my car window whilst I was stuck in traffic.  I LOVE Gum Trees, they are one of my favourite things to photograph and I put a LOMO effect on this one - I think the rainbow effect is pretty!

I started reading my camera manual today and I discovered I have a few "preset" options that I can use so I thought I would start experimenting with these.  Today was the day my allergy totally flared up and I spent most of the day sleeping and almost forgot to take a photo.  I got out a few of my candles and took some photo's using the "candle" setting, and I'm pretty happy with this one, will have to do some more experimenting soon.

Again, I almost forgot to take a photo today, I went into work and spent the day in ED where I got prescribed some really good drugs that totally made me sleepy, so the afternoon was spent on the couch sleeping and watching movies & TV, I started watching the first series of Mad Men today - highly recommend it if your looking for a good show to watch.  Again I was experimenting with some of the settings on the camera.  This is a wind chime that I bought in Byron Bay this year - it sits out the front of my house and I was experimenting with motion - looks cool hey.

Friday 9th September 2011

Another day at home and today it was pouring with rain so I went outside and tried to capture some rain drops - this is OK, but Macro is definitely something I need to work on.

Happy weekend everyone - hope it's a good one
