My canon dslr.

This blog is about my journey of learning to get onto the creative side of my canon camera. I have also started a challenge with my 3 sisters to post 4 photos a week, we each take turns to pick our theme, I also have started a photo a day for the month of January with a group on the internet.

arrived in the mail.

These adorable little shoes arrived on Tuesday, they are all dated around the 1890's. The pair at the back have wood soles and like a horse shoe metal piece around the front, don't know how they walked in them, more suited to a donkey I reckon

My weekend project, as inspired by Magnolia Pearl. This caused me lots of cuts etc till I was advised to use leather gloves, don't you sometimes hate when they're right and you should have thought about it yourself, but I am a Johnson and we always do things the hard way.

Loved these horses.






 And these three were taken before we were told we were on private land.

I forgot to tell Jacky I had taken the shot. Left her smelling the roses for awhile, hehe.

Some of Paddy's four.

 Railway tracks.

 The end.
Aged, black and white.

I'm going to mix mine up this month, and tick them off as I go.

 Jackys four....Triangles
 Triangles.
 Rough.
 More triangles.
 Smooth, as in smooth sailing, I also give credit to Jacky for making him fly. I did crop this one too.
Round.

some random stuff.

 Playing around with some really great desilvered mirrors off a old dressing table I think.
 You can see the shape of the four mirrors here, I love this kind of mirror.

 Its up, yes Mangapapa is in Gisborne, remember Balance Street.
And some flowers named after my sister Sharon, or so she told me.

Where the hell is Mangapapa

 My weekend project was to make this 5 ft long subway art sign, I got some recycled timber on Friday from the salvage yard, as it already had the background painted. I had to wait for it to dry which took a couple of days.  I am going to make some more to take to my markets.
What do you think.  This one was a labor of love.

full moon over our house tonight

Tonight it is cloudy outside but I managed to get this shot of the full moon.
