286: Pacman ghost

Eeeeeek there's a pacman style gost in my bedroom!!! Quick snap him up. With my camera of course :)

190: Focus

I'm so excited to be learning more and more about my new camera and ways to use it more effectively. While I've been shooting in manual mode I've still kept my lens on auto focus and getting a little frustrated when my camera wouldn't take a photo of something that was too close or it was unable to focus on. But hello manual focus. I'm in love all over again. I assumed I'd be getting ahead of myself by trying to focus the camera while getting all the other settings just right for a shot but turns out it's great fun. This lovely little dried flower, artificial flower combination sitting on our dresser made the perfect practicing subject.

I'm having a little weekend away from tomorrow, but I'll still be taking photographs and be back on Monday with them ready to post. Until then everyone have a fabulous Friday and weekend. Take care.

134: I heart you

Thought about playing with a lipstick writing on the mirror this evening. I wanted to try capturing if from a few different angles. Turns out straight on resulted in the best shot. It was nice to incorporate the camera and photographer again, it's been a while! Red would have stood out a little more I think, but I couldn't find one. The layered effect is quite cool I think. Right up front, middle ground and a soft faded background.

032: A golden oldie

I was rather excited today, on a visit home, to discover that my brother has recently purchased a very old typewriter. So of course I whip my camera out to get some snaps of the lovely thing. This one was my favourite because you can see all the little individual metal letters that spring forward onto the paper once their key is pressed. I know you can't see much of the whole thing but I made sure I got the old school keys in the background! Very cool.

027: Designer clutter

I wasn't terribly excited about getting my camera out tonight, as yet again I find myself at home, late, with no idea what to shoot. Sitting down at my desk to get on with some design work I noticed how nicely the light spilled across the table top. Plus my desk is actually quite neat at the moment (ok ok in a sort of organised chaos sort of state) and I liked what the scattered objects symbolise. Everything that is involved in my design work is here, my pencils, paper, text books, inspiring books, posters, pantone swatch book, computer the list goes on. So after all that I quite like how my desk has come up in today's photo. Bring on 028!

011: An insect encounter

This insect is totally disgusting and huge. I found him on the window of my car this afternoon. So I grabbed my camera to get some super close ups from the safety of the inside of my car. Kinda cool cause he looks like he's sitting on the lens or I've managed to catch him in the air!

009: Music to my eyes and ears

Again I find myself pottering around my house late at night looking for a subject for today's photograph. I finally settled on my flat mate's old and slightly out of tune piano. I like the way my digital camera has given me a photo that looks older and grainier, like a film camera could produce.
