Photography Blogs

Ah, the world of blogging. I love it. So many things you can learn about, and people can connect in so many different ways.

Well I'm getting into Photography blogs at the moment, and the one I really like is En Route by Gabby. It's awesome. If you're into photography, you'll love this. And it's super fun to read her posts :)

I will endeavour to find more though, like I said on a previous post - I'm like a sponge! :P 

Oh and did I mention I LOVED my new Canon? Coz I REALLY do!! :)

Photo's with Canon 600D

So I finally bought myself an SLR. It's amazing. There's not really much else I can say about it, except that I absolutely love it and I'm super excited to take more photos and learn more.

Here are some pics I took on the weekend :)

Gifts for Men

I know, men can be hard to buy for (they seem to think we are though!?), so I've compiled a list of things that are kinda unique, kinda weird and kinda fun. So whether it's for their birthday, your anniversary, valentine's day, hopefully these will be helpful :)

Unfortunately I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but it did give me some ideas.

So if you have a brother/dad/boyfriend/friend who is a little bit difficult to buy for, check these out:

For the traveller - Map of Italy - $74.95

For the photographer - Lens Shot Glasses - $18 (I want these for me actually!)

For the muso - Guitar tuner - $24.95

For the forgetful - Wireless Key Finder - $49.95

For the bookworm - First Edition Books

Happy shopping :)

Happy Weekend!

I'm so glad it's the weekend. I know everyone says that, but its especially silly for me to say it because I only started back at work on Thursday! Ha!

Anyway, I've done a few DIY projects this week, including making a bracelet, anklet and necklace. I also bought some rope and pegs to hang my awesome polaroids up. Sweet! (Pics to come!)

But here's what's inspiring me at the moment.

Going to Peppers Resort soon. It's the kind of place you could just sit in the gardens and read for hours. Can't wait.

Going to buy the supplies for a DIY camera bag on Sunday for my new Canon 600D. Love it!

Photo tips from Elsie Larson.

Blake Lively. She's my girl crush.

THIS dress.

Re-reading Ms Penman's books. Coz, she's awesome.

Vintage jewelery, like these.

My homemade Filo pastries. I've already made 2 batches, and I can't stop eating them! I'll post the recipe this weekend!

Happy weekend! :)

Christmas Around the World

This is a link (From Cup of Jo); what was Christmas like in your city? Here in Sydney (number 37) it was lovely and warm - a day of turkey, ham, alcohol, cold drinks and summer clothes (and a fabulous Christmas cake!).

But it was warm. I can't imagine having a Christmas that is cold - although I wouldn't mind experiencing it someday! :)

Digital Photography for Beginners

This is a fantastic website; as a budding photographer I'm like a sponge for information at the moment. Gimme!

Yeah anyway, if you're into photography, like me, check out this website. Heaps on tutorials and advice, info, great articles and stuff like that.

There's a good one about candid shots (which I do all the time, much to the annoyance of my subjects!) and it was very insightful. I intend to put this advice to good use on Friday when I get my Canon 600D. YAY.

Urban Outfitters

I love all the funky and pretty things in this shop, Urban Outfitters. It's too bad there isn't an actual shop here in Australia, although luckily - they do ship here!

Here are some of the things from UO I'm loving at the moment...

No Whining Print - $34 (C'mon, who's face wouldn't that put a smile on?!)

Clip String Lights - $24 (Light up thoe favorite moments)

Camera Section (under Apartment tab)  - Need I say more?!

Birds on a Wire Photo Clips - $10 (Exactly what I need for my polaroid DIY!)

Ecote Studded Professor Satchel - $69 (I'm getting this on pay day. Love.)

Kimchi Blue Crisscross Suede Wedge - $59 - I actually own a pair similar to these, god damn they're comfy!

You need to check out this shop. If there's one in your city, go visit it, and count your blessings!

:P
