342: Hearts of light

Tonight was an experiment to carry out a tutorial set by Katie of Color Me Katie. She has this nifty little trick of cutting out a shape on a small piece of paper. Placing it over the lens of the camera and taking a photo with quite a few light sources involved. A couple of hers have been of night time city scapes or massive Christmas trees, check them out here and here - lovely! As we have some fairy lights up around the house for Christmas I decided to bite the bullet and use them as my light source. What a dreamy result, gives the room a warm and inviting Christmas feel.

315: Jumpin around

Another hot favourite for this month. Full of fun after reading the Color Me Katie blog today I convinced my flat mate, Candi, to get jumping on her bed (it didn't really take much). She's a little bit excited that I've finally caught her face in one of my pics (damn I was really trying to keep her hidden for the whole year) haha no but I'm excited to catch so much movement colour and emotion. Yipppeeeeee

277: The lonely hearts club

Nothing serious here folks. Just having a little Color Me Katie inspired fun again this weekend. I found some glass paint in the crafty box under my desk, so what better things to do with it than start adding mini decorative features to the windows. Cute :)

194: Colour me inspired

Inspired by the wonderful Katie of Color me Katie blog, I got crafty this evening and started sticking these cute little shiny horses on our kitchen wall. A mini stampede with one lost sole travelling in the wrong direction. Gallop little horses, gallop right up my wall.

181: Shadows whisper

I saw this photograph in my head on the bus last week. Tonight I thought I'd head back and try and capture it for real. It's not as pretty as what I thought it might be, but maybe because the bus shot past and it was just a glimpse of an idea in my head. Perhaps I'll try re-shooting it later in the project. The idea of playing around with shadows was inspired by a wonderful blog I discovered recently called Color Me Katie. Check out her post about shadows here. She's such a crafty lady.
