Simple Pictures (5)

Hi everyone! It's been a while that I haven't been on my blog. I just had no time with revisions, exams, etc... But a really nice girl I met not long ago, lent me her Sony Alpha 230, so here are the photos I took with them:

I noticed that this camera is very good for taking portraits and close-up pictures. I still think that the Canon EOS's are slightly better in image quality, especially in low light.

You can compare yourself, a few weeks ago I tried the canon eos 600d:  Simple Pictures (4)

and I think the pictures are slightly better.

Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer and I'll try to post more pictures!

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!

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!

Spring, beautiful spring!

I saw in the last few days that a lot of people posted spring themed images, so it's my turn now =)
Here are a few I took today (before the weather goes bad tomorrow =/ )

And last, but not least, a very happy chicken in the sun! =)

I wish you all a great spring! Pin It

Sunshine, your back!

Yesterday was a beautiful day here where I live and it was so wonderful to have the sun warming my back again!

(Unfortunately today is grey).

But I took a picture to celebrate the beginning of spring:

I also noticed today (different subject) that I really need a proper camera! I've been wanting one for at least a year now but it's too bad I can't afford one yet.

If anyone doesn't need theirs anymore, you can give it to me! (=D just kidding; unless you really do have one =D) 

Before I forget, I wanted to thank Georgia for giving me advice and tips for my photos. I used two of her actions on this picture and I already love them (still have to learn how to use them perfectly). So thank you so much Georgia and I hope you and your family have a great week!

Bloggers: Georgia's blog is called "it's just how I see things..." , and if you like photography, you'll love this blog!

Have a great day everyone  =)

Taking a Closer Look at Nature...

Today was a wonderful sunny day, and sun makes nature look so beautiful, so I thought to myself: why not take some nice photos?
Here are a couple of them that I find pretty. I always thought that outdoor photos are much nicer than indoor ones. The colours, the light, everything makes them so much more special!
