A winning entry…

Hey guys – guess what?  I am so excited ‘coz my photograph “Foggy Nights” won third place at the Royal Canberra Show over the weekend!  I totally didn’t expect to place, but I am thrilled that I did.  ᵔᴗᵔ

What my camera shows me

       

Some photographic adventures with the iPhone.  Instagram is seriously awesome sauce ~ it makes everything ten times prettier and I feel like I don’t have to stress about not having my DSLR on me all the time because this app is doing a fairly good job as a substitute! 

Mind you, there is definitely a slightly different technique required when you are using your phone camera.  Yes, you can still do your fine art photographic style, but framing, focus, lighting, and all that jazz is pretty iffy.  I tend to think of my phone like a polaroid camera; you have your limitations but you can still get some really good snaps with a bit of creative juggling!

In the mean time here are some more ‘serious’ pieces I’ve put in the Studio recently. 

You can click through on the photos to go to my studio and check out all the other pictures I have also put up.  Apparently I’ve been a real busy little beaver!  I didn’t even realize how many I had done until I started looking at which ones I wanted to share.  It’s good though; maybe one of these days I will get out of 2010 and start editing the photos I have taken this year….  -____-‘  Hopefully I can get fully caught up soon!!

Vintage Impersonations ~ photo time!

I thought I would post some of the photographs I taken recently.  It has been quite sometime since I last did a photography post, so I think it is well over due!

“Vintage Impersonations; a self portrait”  by bonita

Ok, so in this photograph I am only pretending to be a 1940’s lady ~ but don’t you just love the juxtaposition of an “old fashioned” face and the DSLR?

My Mom recently gave me two of her old lipsticks that are in very vintage style shades ~ and I love them!   I have never really dared to try the red lip look, but I have wanted too.  It just looks so lovely and old fashioned.    DH gave a tick of authorization, so now I am good to paint the town red to my heart’s content.   ^ x ^  ~  Mwha!

Next on the film roll; Pictures from Perth.  I’ll keep these photos small so that they do not {hopefully!} take forever to load.   If you want to see the bigger version; just click on them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel like a total tourist taking photos out of my plane window; that or a hard-core photographer…. I can not quite make up my mind as to which it is!  Anyway, I took these on the flight over ~ sunsets are always stunning when you are so high in the air. 

 

 

 

 

 

Perth is a pretty amazing city ~ these are photos I have snapped quickly while I was in Harold Boa’s Garden.  I want to take some more shots of some amazing old architecture; I shall put those up when I get around to taking them.  There at least two buildings that I have my eye on.

   

The sunset from our hotel window ~ one thing I like abut being in the middle of the city is the night time lights.  They do look pretty fantastic; even to one who prefers the country and the stars in a night sky.

   

Lastly, I thought I would leave you with this cute snap from before I came over to Perth. 

Amabelle, our husky, was missing Caleb at this stage {this was back when he was in WA for work and I was still in Canberra} and she decided to crawl under my futon bed and sleep there.  It seriously did not look comfortable at all!  She’s a smallish medium dog, but seriously, the futon was only a bit over a foot above the ground…  It was so funny watching her wiggle on her tummy to get under there!   She looks so cute!!  

Wahh!  I miss her so much….   T ^ T  And Copper too.   Oh dear, probably best not to think about that too hard.    >   <

So that’s the photo round up for the last little while.   I can not wait to show you more of beautiful Perth; but even more than that I can not wait to show our house when we get home and all properly moved in!  I am so looking forwards to being able to do a ‘tour’ around my very own home!!  *squee*
