On Saturday Jalen, Harri and I went out to do a few things and decided to go up to the Gorge for a walk. I could spend hours just snapping away with my camera and the boys are very patient with me - usually letting me take whatever photos I want. It has been so fun to come home with some photos and start playing with them in photoshop. These are a few we took on Saturday.
Harri was laughing at Jalen when I was teasing him about a girlfriend - trying to get Harri to laugh - it worked!
Harri is such a great poser! He went up to the sign and said 'Mum!! Take a photo of this!' as he stood there and posed for me.
He then went a layed on the rocks and straight away knew how to pose (thanks to Fiona doing a photoshoot the week before!).
Jalen on the otherhand is very hard to get natural looking photos as he always seems very tense. 
In the end I told him to not look at the camera as he was trying way too hard :)
The boys loved doing some fun jumping shots for me.
It's so easy now to just waste my days away photoshopping instead of the things I should be doing - like housework. I think it's a good waste of time though - as I remind Aaron - I'm preserving memories :)
Your photos look fantastic. Photoshop is fun hey. I find that I go through patches where I do heaps on photoshop and then I stop. I annoy myself for forgetting how to do things though! There is so much to learn!! But you have an awesome teacher that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteyeah, the housework went long ago in my house!!!!!!
ReplyDeletelooking good Lisa.
ReplyDeletethey're great!!! :) Isn't it the best!?
ReplyDeleteJay looks like you in that "stare wistfully into the distance" photo. :) Maybe you're very introspective too! ;)
Ok you have "hogged" Fiona long enough...it is my turn soon....
ReplyDeleteHey Annette!!! Back of lady - you have your own personal expert photoshopper you can call on :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos ARE looking awesome Lisa, so all the effort in learning is paying off! I think the best part about taking photos at say the park - is that it give you something to do while the kids play - because sometimes I get bored at the park and can't wait to go home!! (I'm a bad mum) But when I take the camera It's always more fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh boy I'm with you on that Hannah. I LOVE going to the park now - the boys can stay for hours and I don't get bored :)

ReplyDeleteloving the pics Lisa - think I need you to take some pro shots of my kiddies!! My camera has limited abilities...and so do I!! I like the different colours like the one of Harri laughing - which is my fav! wow I don't even have photoshop as an excuse and my house is still quite neglected!xx
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I absolutely LOVE the one of Harri laughing and also the one of Jay jumping- they are wicked!!!! The look Jalen has on his face when he is staring into the distance is the EXACT look you get a lot!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, oh wow, oh wow. I'm soooooooo impressed Leeca fleeca. You've been SO BRAVE with this lot and it shows you've definitely been doing your homework. BIG tick. I'm loving the colours. They're fantastic. Can't wait to see how you improve every single week. Keep snapping, keep photoshopping, and keep neglecting the housework. Awww...I feel like a proud mum (she says as she hols her hand over her heart). Big hugs to you my gorgeous one. Fiona xxx
ReplyDeleteI could spend all day just taking pics of anything and everything as well, let alone play with photoshop
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona :) Glad I could make you proud.
