Well the weekend is almost over, and sadly no craft show as due to the foul weather on Thursday, the marque was damaged.
Instead David, Georgia and I had a mini photo shoot in the lounge. Before Xmas I ordered a pop-up background to use with my new Nikon D80 (one side is black and the other is white). I spent just over an hour beautifying myself (David's choice of words not mine....LOL) I changed into jeans and a black t-shirt (ala Venture style) and off we snapped. We bought a remote to take picture as it means we don't have to run back to the tripod to press the self timer. The reason for the pictures was that I desperately needed some photos of us both together for my February Scrapagogo Design Team work. Obviously there is a romantic theme to the kit...it is the February Kit after all.
Ok, so the pictures were all taken and this morning, I played around with them, coverted them to black & white and coverted them from RAW into JPegs...and then dashed over to Costco to get them printed out. I was pleased with how they turned out, and even more pleased with the finished projects I did with them. Cannot show pictures until the kit is out in the middle of next month.
I will however share a couple of pictures that I took yesterday. First is of David & I, adjusted the brightness due to indoor photography, changed to black & white, and also changed to hi key (think that is what you call it, please leave me a comment if I am wrong).
The second is of Georgia & I, when setting up the picture, the cat knocked the tripod, so we are not in the position we planned...but I liked the shot, so kept it. It is what I call a "Happy Accident".

What a FANTASTIC banner you have - I am sooo jealous - how did you do that?
I am on beta blogger and have tried to put a photo on mine and it just won't work - so frustrating!!
Anyway you have a beautiful daughter, and your OH ain't bad either lolol.
I love your 'happy accident'! :o) It's not so conventional and I love that.
I'm so jealous of your camera and pop up background! The D80 is the camera I have been drooling over. How'd you find it?!
Love Gems xx
