One area I really need more practise on is my Photoshop skills. I have a long list of projects I want to try, but due to limited time today (work gets in the way of the best photography), I just did one of the easy classics.
Day 17 – Coloring in

Day 16 – More reflections
My failed attempts at boot-photography kept bugging me, so I decided to give it another go. I failed. Instead, Merlin became fascinated by the mirror – after a long hesitation on whether it was to be trusted. After all, you never know if you may just fall thru.
Day 15 – Reflections
Over the weekend I bought a fabulous pair of boots (…the boots to die for). That got me thinking of fashion photography. I’ve never been keen on fashion as such, but the creativity involved in the photography is fascinating. Without a model, I was unable to get a good picture of the boots in question (a real first world problem), but here is a little experiment nevertheless.
Day 14 – The curse of being short
There is one good side for being short – I always have plenty of legroom in the plane. Besides that, there is really not that much going for it. One of my pet peeves is that any piece of clothing I buy needs to be shortened. Another evening spent next to a sewing machine…
Day 13 – Back home
Back home. After a long nap (Conferences are taxing. The better thay are, the more tired you’ll be…) and a dip in the pool, I settled down again.
Whenever I’m gone for more than a day, Merlin does not leave my side for few days. These eyes followed me everywhere.
Day 9 – Home after a long day
It was a long day at work. I came home late, and started packing for our company’s internal conference, where I’ll spend the rest of the week. (Thus the posting of the whole week is late too – four days with very poor internet…) After I was done, it really was a bit late to do anything but night photography. So here it is. Home.
Day 8 – Wine on Sunday
Today I was inspired by some geometric photos on ‘everyday objects’ I saw online. It was a good day for such inspiration, as I am ill and miserable (I have the man-flu) and did not want to leave the house. Since moving back to South Africa, I have re-fallen in love with local wine, and thus our wine glasses (albeit empty for once) are a highly appropriate subject for my experiments.
Day 6 – The last rays of sunshine
The winter is coming to South Africa, and evenings are getting shorter. Playing around in our garden with my camera (Note, the challenge is making a difference!) I became fascinated with the lens flares. This one was the last I got before the sun got too low behind the tree.
Day 5 – Dinner with love
I’m very lucky, because my husband likes to cook. We both do. So we have a good system going for weekday dinners (and leftover lunches) that keeps us happy – and in good food.
Day 4 – Saviour of a tired evening
It’s only day 4 and I came home from work tired – and almost forgot my photo… Luckily there is makro… Stuart has a great habit of brining me flowers every few weeks, so there is typically something to shoot at.
