The big Five Oh
This Saturday, my family and friends are throwing me a birthday party, to celebrate reaching the Big Five Oh. When asked what sort of theme, I suggested a New Orleans Mardi Gras style party.
Costumes, masks, blues, jazz, bead, colors, music, and fun. I will be bringing my camera along, so should get plenty of great, and happy shots.
As for photography, these photographs were taken by m…
Camera repair
Several weeks ago, I had spotted some dust behind my LUMIX FZ30’s lens. I shipped my FZ30 to Authorized Panasonic Repair/Service center. The outcomes would be one of following:
1: The lens can be cleared of dust, camera re-conditioned and sent back. (About $250AUD)
2: The lens has to be replaced, camera re-conditioned and then sent back. (About $400AUD or more)
3: If #2, would I prefer to…
It's been a while
Life has a way of making time slide by fast.
After getting a “No Name” telephoto lens, and having unfocused images, chromatic abberrations, and other problems, I decided to bite the bullet, and get the proper Lumix OEM Telephoto lens.
Let it suffice to say I have been mentally kicking myself for not doing it sooner, and trying to save some money. On the other hand, the price of it was ove…
I like to cook
And I photography, so I have been doing food photography
All the food items have actually come from my own kitchen, carefully prepared by me, and then set up for photos.
It’s not as easy as I thought it would be. Getting the lighting right, getting close enough to get details, making sure there are no stray crumbs to de…
My I.P.A. Website
It’s gone ‘live’. And I have linked it back to RedBubble to boot!
I like that can make galleries of some of my best (and favorite) works as slide shows. It’s been a while since I have designed and developed a webpage, I had almost forgotten how. :)
Joined the I.P.A.
After doing some serious research, and tons of reading, I thought it would be a good move.
Lights, Camera, Still Shots and Action
Just the ‘prototype’ webpage, a little more than a place holder, and I have already added a gallery of some of my photographs.
Felt pretty chuffed when one of the people who is involved with the IPA checked out …
Art Show Results
I didn’t win, but it got an honorable mention on “Alien Offering” from Richard K. Morgan’s reaction to it. He said it amazed and disturbed him as it clearly showed the ‘contact’ that was the convention theme. But he didn’t know if the gift was a good thing or not.
Then I explained to him that when the art was registered for the show, there was a glitch and t…
On the road again
Hubby and I are heading to points south, destination Albany (Australia, not New York!) Cameras and gear packed. Remote shutter release for my Canon is missing, but I have the wireless one. It just needs a battery.
After many questions and not so subtle proddings
I have been asked by my hubby, and about 8 others if I would enter some artwork in this years “SwanCon”. After much not so subtle proddings, I have surrended, and am going through my digital works for printing. Luckily for me, there is a sale on canvas prints.
Happiness is:
Logging onto Redbubble and finding out you have sold 4 artworks. :o
