Week 28 of Project 365

It was queens weekend here this weekend, so it was a long weekend (how often can one use the word weekend in a sentence). The kids had fun there. We even went swimming, the official start of winter was on the first. The forecast was HORRIBEL, we were supposed to have wind rain and storms. BUT it was just the opposed, it was warm the sun was shining.

DAY 190

The room I sleep in here is full of glow in the dark stars. So I get to look at the stars even if it is poring down with rain.

 

DAY 191

At the batch we went to over queens weekend they have these pottery ocean deco, a local potter up north here makes them.

 

DAY 192

Sun set from the batch.

 

DAY 193

Waves coming in over the textured sand.

 

DAY 194

Buddy my mums dog.

DAY 195

Stacked apples. Our neighbour has all these granny smith apples. For both scavenger hunt Sunday and the 30 day photography challenge the theme is apple. I didn’t know what I wanted to take or how to take it. Then this came to mind.

DAY 196

We went for a walk yesterday just as the sun was starting to set. For a change a deferent view of the sun setting, since I wasn’t on the front lawn.

Week 27 of Project 365

It feels grate to be right on track with posting my photos now.

We can feel how it is getting colder at the workshop (just over the hill from the house) there was a bit of a frost, but not yet at the house, that can’t be far off. So we can feel winter is coming. Mum and Ms Mar planted some garlic on the weekend. We will also plant some potatoes and hope that they grow. Currently we are working on making a new garden, so my mum has a bigger one. You know in case of the world ending and we need to be self sustainable… Not a bad idea, just I would miss having spas.

I am building a wood chopping thing to make cutting the wood smaller for the coal range, and it makes it easer for anyone to cut fire wood in general. The grass is still really wet from the due so that will be my mission for the day.

I still can’t believe that I have really gotten caught up with the photos, editing and posting them. It was a bit daunting to start out with, but it defiantly feels grate. Now I still need to put together a small post of our travels to NZ, We have nearly been here for 3 months now. Time flies.

DAY 183

We had a storm this day, it looked dark all day, Ms Mar went to the neighbours in the afternoon. When we went to pick her up and walk home the sun made all the rain clouds this purple colour. Everything was glowing.

 

DAY 184

A NZ 50c coin.

 

DAY 185

Toad stool that was under a log.

 

DAY 186

Juicing a freshly picked Tangerine.

 

DAY 187

Rope from the swing in my bedroom here.

 

DAY 188

An egg I found while we were feeding the neighbour’s animals while they were away. It is a chicken egg. I do not know if it i from one of the bantam’s or from a normal chicken, but it is small no matter what..

 

DAY 189

Ms Mar’s ballet shoes. I saw them just put on the ground like this in front of her bedroom door. 

Week 9 of Project 365

I have the feeling that this week I took on a whole new angel, I really like the photos I took this week. I had such a grate time. To top it off I got a tripod and am now looking for a shutter relse cord or remote, I just don’t know what I want. I can see uses for both. I think a cord would have a faster reaction then the remote, but a remote would let me have more freedom of where to go as I am not limited by the cord. Both would be cool, but there is the cost factor, one now anther later. But what one to get.

I took some photos of some water drops again with the tripod and it was sooo much easer. Can’t wait to try it again and during day light.

DAY 57

So my little girl was sick last week, so this week we had a control cheek up at the DR. This was on the way back from the DR as you can tell she was back to her normal self.

 

DAY 58

A shot I took while little Mr Mar Jr was having fun in the enlarged living room.

DAY 59

Mr Mar Jr sleeping and cuddling his favourite toys, CARS. Car was his first word, he had a English word as his first word, where Ms Mar’s first word was German..

DAY 60

Ms Mar Dancing for me, she just LOVES her ballet. Oh, and I have NO idea why she keeps steking her toung out.

DAY 61

So I Finlay got around to fixing the popup books. I used a texture again on this one and also tyred to blend the floor into the background.

DAY 62

So I got a try pod and tried water drops again, this time they turned out 100x better. The funny shadow you can see on the back ground is the straw I was using to drop the water into the water. I filled a glass write up to the brim and dropped it into there. I think this is the 3rd or 4th picture I took.

DAY 63

I let the kids jump off the sofa today onto the bean bag, they had such a blast. The Mr Mar Jr can’t jump yet he just leaps off. Way to cute to watch. Ms Mar loved showing me how high and how far she can jump, I got allot of good shots from her.

Week 8 of Project 365

This week seems like it has gone so slow, one way maybe the reason I have gotten more post done this week then I have gotten done in the past weeks. Ms Mar was back at kindy this week except for Thursday when we went for a re-check up for a bit of blood work to make sure everything is back to normal,  not that it surprised me that it was, since she was on antibiotics. I think she would of been back to normal with out them.
I am also trying to put together a list of 365 deferent photography techniques (are there that many), so if you have some more to add please comment or send me a e-mail, you can see the list that i have so far on the 365 tab up the top.
