Photography Workshop - Week One

This week saw the start of my online photography workshop. My lovely friend Leanne recommended Eye Candy Actions to me after she completed their Explore workshop last year. I have had my camera for a couple of months now and only ever shoot in auto mode. This week I have moved that dial to AV mode and the results have been fabulous.

Here are a couple of photo's I have captured this week.

The workshop has been wonderful so far and I am eager to learn more about my camera. Hopefully my photo's will improve and I will have many more to share with you.

On another note, my gorgeous custom made camera strap arrived from the US yesterday. Ruthanne from Eclectic Wotnot was lovely to work with. I selected the fabric and she worked her magic. It looks very stylish and coordinates with my camera bag nicely.

My weekend will be all about rabbit's! My niece is turning 7 and she has requested a rabbit cake along with rabbit cookies and cake pops, so I will be busy bringing that to life, please come back tomorrow to see the results.


Have a wonderful weekend :)

Introducing Belle - my new camera bag :)

My next scheduled post was to be about the dessert and candy table I created for our family Christmas, but I couldn't resist slipping this one in!! As I previously mentioned I was very spoilt by my family at Christmas with a new DSLR camera. As it is such a fabulous piece of equipment I decided immediately that it needed to be carried around in something gorgeous but practical. I remembered that a while ago I had come across a company called Epiphanie by Mailie Wilson. This company is in the US and specialises in stylish camera handbags.

It took me about three days to finally decide on a style and colour, ordered it online and it was in my hot little hands 9 days later. Excellent service and super fast postage from the US to Australia especially over the holiday period!

There are five styles to choose from, I decided on the Belle in red!

Here she is:

Look at the cute camera tag !!

The lilac interior, nice :)

All packed ready to go and there is still room for another lense, lipstick and a few other bits and pieces.

So what do you think? I think it is very stylish and can't wait to take her out and show her off :) Oh and the other thing I can't wait for is the day when I have actually worked out how to use my new camera properly!

Enjoy your week.

Mrs KT :)
