The Light Which He Provides (and a plea for help from photographers!)


Natural light and manual focus.

These are what I'm practising at the moment in my photos. 





But I want to know more.


I've had my SLR since May 2011, but there are still many things I don't know about it.


There are terms in photography that I've heard over and over again, but I don't know how to know when to do what setting.


Things like ISO, aperture and why in photo descriptions there is the letter 'f'.


Well I know that ISO means how much light is let in, and aperture means 'depth of field'...

I think?


Do you have any tips for me? I want to learn to to shoot manually. 




Are there any good places online where you can learn this stuff? Or is it better by trial and error?? How did you learn?



Be sure to comment and let me know your thoughts!!

A Break From Life

I just came back from an awesome holiday in our caravan with my family.


I collected pretty shells to make mobiles with, read my latest Peppermint mag,


got ash coloured feet, made leaf art,


explored shops at a few small towns, plaited reeds to wear as a headband,

~also featuring a headdress my dad made from ferns  :) ~

drew cool things in the sand with some kids, collected smooth rocks to paint,


designed some children's t-shirts, went to the beach after dark to see the amazing, bright stars, 


 survived without my big camera {yes, all these are from my point and shoot!}, played with my sisters,


gathered 'round a fire one night and had a music jam with two other families, climbed on rocks,


bought a blanket for my babies-to-be (hehe), braided little girls' hair, did some cool drawings,


annoyed the above sister by making her laugh when she wanted to sleep (we shared a bed), watched lots of lightning {survived two massive thunderstorms that went for hours},


watched a spider weave it's web (so amazing!), camped at places for free,


stayed at a place for a while with no power and no showers, 
watched sunsets that reflected in the river, 


and found a cute little garden with this 'Talking Circle' in it!! I want one in my backyard when I get my own house!


and went to this gorgeous place for Christmas day!!

The Blue Pool, Victoria, Australia



Beautiful rocks everywhere!!

Eve, me, Janae, Mum  ♥

Gotta chuck a selfie in!!


My family, minus my brother, Jem, who's staying with his lady friend, Junita, in Western Australia  :)

I had such a wonderful time- I just love love LOVE nature!! And living in it  :)

A Post Welcoming Spring

Some flowers are blossoming...


... some are sprouting...


... some are being robbed of pollen...


... some are being robbed of their roots...


... some are wallowing in sunshine...



... some are reaching for new heights...



... and some are just content being together.
