A whole day

And not a post :O, very slack you may say but I had so much to post but didn't feel it was appropriate...
Hey what there heck maybe I will post my venting on here, It feels better to get it out anyway.

Couple of days ago I told you about our camping trip, well not the full storey so here it is...

This coming weekend we are off to Lake Moogerah, I have been looking forward to this for months just me B and the boys... well until we realized that our wonderful getaway falls on the weekend B's kids come over to stay, Now I wouldn't mind them coming if they didn't make every good thing turn into a nightmare, Not only that it does leave us highly unprepared, We would need extra fishing rods, our tents no big enough to sleep 4 people plus 2 porta cots. Does anyone here see a problem. Not only that the kids are going to bored so they are going to be in everyone's hair B and I just wanna fish but no one of us will be looking after them as they will do something crazy and stupid,, Oh well I'll just have to think positive.

Good news is B won the war and finelly stood up the cranky old weirdo, It was either have them this weekend(as we always manage to drop what we are doing and have them when she needs us to) or don't see there first day at a new school... Well i guess her me time was a little more important then her childrens... I am actually looking forawrd to seeing there class rooms there desk and meeting there teachers.. I am hoping they don't blow it as I have been telling them for weeks the first impressions count when they go to new places... Lets hope that they listened.

Heres hoping to a great weekend, I akm sure there will be loads of photos added when we get back :)

School

Yeap I have been defiantly thinking of this for a while now and I deffenlty wanna go back to school and improve my knowledge in the photographic world... Yes I can point a camera and shoot something but I want to learn so much more.... I want to make the new owner of that photo go wow that is amazing and then I go off feeling good about it instead of oh I could of done so much better.
There are loads of courses but which one... do I try and do one at home and be with my boys or to go off to tafe every day, hmm both seem to be a good option as they both have so many benefits.....

The start of a new year.....

Well here is my first post as well as my first blog So I am not use to this whole communicating to the world thing… In this blog I am going to put up some of my snaps to get some CCs on how I can improve with becoming a photographer.

Let me tell you a bit about myself first, Well I am a full time mummy to 2 beautiful boys who you will see alot of over the next few blog post, I have a great and understanding partner of 5 years who stands by me in all of my weird career choices,

I started taking random snap shots in 2002 with a crappy little digital camera that didn’t even have a view finder. I got my first dSLR in 2008, A Nikon D40 and I was in love, the shots were better then i was taking with my last point and shoot camera, but they just weren’t great if you know what I mean, Out of focus 90% were blurry fuzzy and just plain crap… Well i thought to myself that I need to start learning how to operate my camrea, Got out my book and read that. looked at all the tutorials I could find online and even joined a Photography forum on the net, which is for canon but I am yet to find one for nikon. so if you guys no of any please post a comment below.
