In birthday experiment ideas new photography photos

Happy Birthday!

Hiya,
Over the last week I celebrate my birthday! I had an amazing birthday and got to spend some time with my family and had an amazing brunch at a nearby cafe.
For my birthday, I received some photography course- I can't wait to share some of my new found skill with you.


I've been experimenting with some different photography lately, and I have uploaded some of my favourites below.
Let me know what you think of them.

P.S. I am thinking about re-desiging the blog, what do you think?

Vivid Sydney Photo Diary

Over the weekend, when we were in Sydney, Abi and I were lucky enough to get to visit the vivid light display.
For those of you who do not know, vivid is a once a year light display than usually runs for most of June. It lights up various attractions around the harbour, including the bridge and the opera house.
I have been to Sydney a few times but have never before had the chance to visit vivid and was very glad that I did because it was so cool.
Enjoy these photos of it...

In chocolate holidays long weekend photo diary sydney

Sydney Photo Diary- City

Hello lovelies,
I am writing this about two hours after arriving home from an amazing weekend away with Abi  and her mum and sister. It's my birthday pretty soon and they decided to take me to Sydney for the long weekend.

We left on Friday afternoon, leaving school a bit early (and missing religion :-)) and arrived around dinner time. After having a good nights sleep, we began our big day in the city.

We caught the bus into the city, a bit longer than we are used to in our smaller city. And Abi and I listened to a spotify playlist (after realising we should probably have created and downloaded one onto my phone, with both of our music on it).



Arriving in the city, Abi and I were slightly awed by the huge skyscrapers and bustling city, people going about their everyday lives. Sydney is so much bigger than the city we live in, and it is a bit of an adjustment.

Our first stop was Pitt Street mall. We visited a few shops, getting t-shirts from sportsgirl, jumpers from cotton on and some lunch from Grill'd.
After lunch we walked over to the Queen Victoria Building, where we visited the Haigs- the best chocolate shop (in our opinion). Free samples from Haigs gave us the energy to continue our adventures, and we moved on and walked through the Queen Victoria Building.


Next up was Miss Shop, where we spent an awfully long time (mostly Abi trying things on with the help of her new best friend, the personal stylist)


The Galleries Victoria was next on the list, with a lengthy stay in their bookstore. Partly to rest our tired feet, and partly to enjoy all those amazing books.

After Galleries Victoria we dragged our tired feet down to the harbour for Vivid, which deserves a whole post to itself- coming on Thursday.

Did you enjoy this post? Would you like to see more of these kinds of photo-diaries? Have you ever been to Sydney?

In better do your best ideas perfect TED think thoughts

Perfection Is the Wrong Direction

Hello,
Perfect -
1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be:
2. absolute, complete.

It is something that most of us strive to be. But is that what we should be doing? I found this Ted talk by Isabella Fons the other day and I think that it is one that everyone should watch.



What do you think?

Wet-weather

I love rain.
The sound of it against the roof as you drift off to sleep, the way it covers the already beautful garden with droplets.
The detail of leaves can be seen so much better through these droplets. I love taking photos just after the rain.

Which is your favourite?
