Cats again?

Hello everyone!

I'm writing this post quite quickly before I spend a week at a place where internet doesn't like to arrive.

You must be wondering...cats again? Well yes. I love photography but my family doesn't like being taken in photo so all I have left is my cat.

Say hello to Ali Baba!

 

 

 

Have a great day!

Baking Muffins!

Hi everyone! Last Tuesday I made some muffins (well I tried) and I'm pretty happy with the result, since my my cooking skills are pretty low !

So, during this easy recipe (which I forgot what website I found it on and now can't show it to you so you're gonna have to guess it!), I took a few photos with my mobile.

The quality of these pictures is absolutely terrible (which is disappointing since it IS a blackberry), but I hope you still enjoy a trip to Baking Land with me =D.

Bonjour tout le monde! Mardi dernier j'avais fait des muffins tout simple (en tout cas j'ai essayé) et je suis assez contente du résultat. Surtout quand on prend en compte mes connaissances culinaires très pauvres.

J'ai oublié sur quel site j'ai trouvé cette recette, donc va falloir que vous la devinez!

Ainsi, pendant que je cuisinais, j'ai pris quelques photos de très basse qualité avec mon portable (qui est un blackberry donc cette qualité est très décevante pour un portable de ce genre).

Mais bon, j'espère que vous allez passer un bon moment avec moi dans le monde de la cuisine =D

Here was the step by step pictures that I took and since there wasn't much to say about them, I didn't bother writing anything.

At the end I added liquid chocolate on top if my muffins that hardens after a few hours and the result was delicious. The only problem (cause there's always something wrong that happens when I'm cooking), is that I mixed up baking powder with a french product that sounded the same but that wasn't. So my muffins are flat and look more like cookies; oh well, just gonna have to eat them ! =D

Voici donc les photos étape par étape que j'avais pris et comme y a pas grand chose a dire dessus, j'ai rien écrit.

A la fin j'ai ajouté du chocolat liquide qui durcit pour ajouter un peu de goût à mes muffins. Biensur, comme je fais toujours quelque chose de faux quand je cuisine, je me suis trompé dans un ingredient qui s'appelle "baking powder" et j'avais pris la levure voulangère mais c'est apparement pas la même chose. Du coup, mes muffins sont tout plat! Tanpis, faudra tous les manger alors =D!

Simple Pictures (2)

Simple Pictures 2! is the new name I gave to these mini-series. It was called "Pretty Pictures" but I thought the new name would suit it better, since my pictures aren't all pretty!

So here they are (a lot of them are outside ones, since it's so sunny today!):

"Simple Pictures 2"! c'est le  nouveau nom de ma mini-serie d'images simples. Ca s'appelait "Pretty Pictures" au début, mais comme les images ne sont pas toutes belles, le nouveau nom est mieux.

Voici donc mes photos d'aujourd'hui (prises surtout dehors grâce au beau temps):

So that was my simple pictures for today! There's no big connection between them, they're just pictures I take, like and put up on my little blog =) I hope you like them and thank you for passing by my blog!

Have a great day!

Photoshop Creations

Today I tried to make a landscape/image using multiple pictures and Photoshop.

It's the first time I did this, so it's nothing special!


Aujourd'hui j'ai essayé pour la première fois, de créer une image grâce à d'autres images et Photoshop.
C'est rien de spécial, mais ca m'a beaucoup plu de le faire!

So here's the picture I made:
Donc voici l'image que j'ai faite:

I made this picture with these that I found on internet:
Voici les photos utilisées pour créer le mien:

Hope you like it! I think I'll start making more of these type of pictures. 

It's fun (well, sometimes frustrating) and I might get better at it!

Voila! donc j'espère que vous aimez ma création! Je pense que je vais en créer d'autres comme celle-ci,
c'est très amusant (la plupart du temps =) ) et peut être que je m'améliorerais!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (2)

Hello everyone!

This is my second participation to scavenger hunt sunday! Now, unfortunately, since I forgot that it is today and since I really wanted to participate to this one before it's over, I haven't had time to take new, fresh photos. So these are older ones, that I picked for this occasion.

Let's start!

Bonjour à tous!

Aujourd'hui je participe pour la deuxième fois à scavenger hunt sunday. Malheureusement, j'utilise des photos prises il y a un moment déjà. Donc voici mes images!

I didn't have many yellow pictures, but candles always produce yellow light (well my ones do):

Je n'avais pas beaucoup d'images jaunes, mais les bougies (en tout cas les miennes) produisent toujours une lumière jaune:

Now, something that made or makes me smile:

I selected the huge spider statue

Maintenant voici quelquechose qui m'a fait ou qui me fait sourire:

Une immense araignée!

I had nothing that was really ancient or antique, but I saw this very, very old camera one day:

Je n'ai rien qui soit très ancien ou antique, mais j'avais vu cet appareil photo un jour et il me semble très vieux =P

Splash! was one of the hardest to find. But luckily for me, I had some pictures from a day at the lake:

Splash! était une des plus dures à trouver dans mes photos. Mais heureusement j'en ai trouvé qui étaient prises pendant une journée au lac:

And finally, after the rain comes the sun:

Et pour finir, après la pluie vient le soleil:

So, as I said: after rain comes the sun. And this little object has seen a lot of storms and rain. But he's still hanging in there,relaxing in the sun.

Donc, comme je l'ai dit: après la pluie vient le soleil (ou le beau temps?) et ce petit objet a vu le mauvais temps, ca c'est sûr! Mais il se repose tranquillement au soleil maintenant.

So that was it! It's the first time i write a post in two languages, English and French. What do you think? Should I continue? I started this because I notice it more and more that a lot of my viewers come from France.

Well thank you for reading/looking at my participation!

Have a wonderful day!

Donc ceci était ma deuxième participation au scavenger hunt sunday! J'espère que ca vous a plu et je vous remercie d'avoir visité mon blog! C'est la première fois que j'écris un article en deux langues, pensez-vous que je devrais continuer d'écrire en français?

Sur ce, je vous souhaite une agréable journée!

Today I went and bought a special kind of gift for my friend's birthday who looooves nutella!

Before I wrapped it, I took some photos and here they are:

So that's the present I got for her and I hope she'll like it! (Well, I know she will =D ) This big pot is perfect for nutella addicts like her !

So that was my post for today, thank you for passing by!

A few photos of Today

Today was finally a quite nice day, so here a few pictures I took:

Clouds

April weather is not called like that for nothing! I never really noticed this month's weather these last few years but it is so strange!

Suddenly, it's sunny, nice and warm but in a few minutes, BAM! it's raining...again. It's like we're in Ireland! This weather in France is like the summers in Ireland: wet, damp, and cold.

So today, while I was doing homework (math, ugh!) I saw the clouds moving quite fast in the sky and I thought this would be great for a moving picture.

I know I'm late and not in the right theme for the moving picture link-up party

but I'll add this picture just for fun.

I've been wanting to post something for a week now (nearly two) on my blog

so this is the perfect occasion = )

So here it is (nothing too special):

Well, I didn't add this in the moving picture but here's the sky after another 20 minutes:

With rain drops on the window of course = P

I just realised how depressing these photos are =P I'm sorry if I depressed anyone with these grey skies !

Well, maybe my cat can make you happy again XD

This is my cat called Kitty (very original, I know)

Yes that's her: the little chubby, fluffy creature -who by the way is so posh (even though she doesn't look it here), I sometimes think she should be a royal cat-.

So that was my ...strange.. post today =D must be all that math getting to my brain!

Thank you for reading, or even just passing by and having a look at my little blog,

and I wish everyone a wonderful weekend!

My new homemade light reflectors!

Hey everyone! For ages now I wanted to make these "homemade light reflectors" so that I have more light in my room when I take photos.
Well, I ran out of aluminium foil, so I only made two small ones.

Here they are and here are two photos to show the results:

Well, in conclusion I don't recommend these if you are a very dedicated photographer/professional cause they aren't that great. But for a beginner like me, they're fine.

Hope you all enjoy your day! Photoholic. Pin It

Happy Easter!

The Storm

No computer, no TV, no radiator... no electricity!

But luckily : one camera.

So what does a storm + camera + Photoshop equal?

This:

And

Now that the storm is finally over, I can put these pictures up on my blog.

I wish I could have some photos of the lightening but lightening = too fast and camera = too slow.

Hope you all have a lovely, cosy weekend!

Tips & Pics

I found this link-up party on this website: jaymiblog  and I decided to give it a try.

So, the subject of this link-up party is to show how you can modify a photo to make it look different and then explain how you did this.

Here's my photo before:

and after Photoshop:

I prefer the second one, what about you?

With Photoshop, to get this effect, I used some of my "actions" (all free by the way), and here I used : the "boost" from  pioneer woman  (I used it twice) and then I used "fresh and colourful" from pioneer woman   as well (click to see website). I might have brightened it a little bit but that's mostly it.
It's funny how you can change an image so quickly with such simple steps.
So that was it, hope I have time to participate next time again!

P.s. Everyone should go check out the blog: Entre2Objectifs. It's a new french blog full of great photos!

Have a great weekend everyone!
