Indecision


I'm still faffing about with exposure (I'll get round to this weeks stuff at some point!) and took this during a quick mid afternoon shoot, really just as a record of the incredibly short bunchies! I can't make up my mind if it's overcooked or not, between the light on her face - even though it was overcast - and her BRIGHT pink top it was a bit of a blighter. Still, it's kinda sweet and I like the catchlights!

A wee tradition.

Now, being a scrapbooker since Chookie was 6 weeks old I have pretty much documented everything she has ever done. When she turned 2 I had a years worth of wee shoes that I could hardly bear to part with so, naturally, I photographed them and made a page layout with all her vital statistics and a list of her favourite things. It's become an annual tradition and since she turned 6 last Thursday it's that time of year again. This first shot is pretty typical of the last few years' images but as her shoe fetish grows it's getting hard to get them all in shot!

I've tried a few different ways to squeeze all those wee shooz in one shot (some more successful than others!) and I think I'm most happy with this one. Any inspirational ideas are gratefully received! *grins*

Batteries charged....

So, I've been having a *gentle* play this afternoon to get myself back into the swing of things........I'm another who's hardly taken a shot since PWL finished. Ooops. So, since I always have fresh flowers in the living room here is this weeks fluorescent orange lillies.

And little Miss has become a bit of a twitcher after discovering Spouse's auld binos in the cupboard. Bless her. (and I admit to cloning out the bogies in this shot!!!! :eyeroll: )

Next stop.........histograms. Eeek!!

snap it - subject 4.


I'm not a huge telly watcher but since we got Sky-plus at Christmas I have a few programmes I like to record. All genre telly. None of yer soap rubbish for me! Do you spot the phantom grinner? I asked her to shield the gap in the cabinet from the sun.....didn't notice the manic cheekiness til after!!

UKS Overlooked. Make it - subject 1.


This is a copy of my actual current handbag. The photo of the contents is tucked inside with a list of why's. All done!

UKS Overlooked. Snap it - subject 1.

So, some of us UKS girls got really fed up waiting for prompt number 4. "Let's do our own," we thought. So we did. Our handbag contents. *grin* Now I've never been a handbag girl (ever the tomboy!) but work and motherhood have necessitated the adoption of one to house all the carp one must cart about. It's reduced in size as Missy G has grown but these are my everyday must haves!

Make it - subject 3

Oops. I've been a bit neglectful here haven't I? To be fair, the Overlooked prompts have been a bit.......erratic lately. It's so easy to lose momentum, innit? Anyhoo, here's the troublesome fridge layout. The photo lifts up to show the perspective shot below. *grins*
