Welcome to Wendy & Jim's Place

Nic and I went to a Tupperware Party at Bobbi’s house today. I resisted the urge to buy too much – I got one container, Jim. Honest! I also got to see Isabelle for the first time since her brother Jack’s birthday party last year! Isabelle has MPS 1 or Hurler Syndrome, which makes her eyes very sensitive to light. Using a flash was totally out (and not very nice in baby photos anyway) so I bumped up the ISO up and the F-number down to see what I could see – and there at the other end of the lens was gorgeous and courageous little girl who is totally in love with Macca Pacca :)

What a blast :) I went with Danni and a few of her friends (and stalkers!) into town for the Ekka fireworks. It was the first time I’d ever attempted to photograph fireworks completely manually. Until now I’d just flicked my little blue camera over to “Fireworks Mode” and let it do the rest! Lots of fun, lots to learn. I’m getting me a remote shutter release soon too. Almost all of these were done with a 10 second timer – as in, hit the button and pray something interesting happens in ten seconds…
