Ho Ho Ho! Late Merry Christmas!

Hello!!

It's been SUCH a long time since I've written, or even been, on my blog!

Well...I have an explanation for this. You see, a few weeks ago, my lovely acer laptop decided to simply die on me.

So I was left computerless for a while! But for christmas my sweet brother and my parents decided to give me my brother's old toshiba computer (that still works wonderfully well) that needed a few new parts (battery, plug and keyboard).

So here I am again!! And -since it's too late to wish everyone merry christmas- I hope everyone had a great christmas :)

Today I decided to take a few pictures of one or two of my new presents (and you'll understand why I'm taking EVERYTHING in picture).

And THIS is why I've been taking photos non-stop everyday! Here is my new canon ef 50mm 1.8 !! He is small, light and just wonderful!

I'm sooo happy with my new lens. It's so sharp. So much sharper than my other one.

I thought that the problem with my other lens was the fact that I wasn't doing a good job with manual so I started taking everything in automatic and yet, the photos were still blurry-ish. (Look at my last post to understand what I mean).

And now today I'm learning the system of manual and it works! proof: these pictures were taken manually. :)

By the way, I use to have the photoshop 7 but now I got the photoshop CS6 and it's so much better! I can even open RAW files now :P

My laptop has got one problem I've got to fix: it stretches everything: photos,etc. So I hope these pictures aren't too big or stretched or whatever! I have the impression that they are a bit big :P

What I also find strange is that all the icons I had on the right of my blog and the "next page" at the bottom don't appear on my screen...mysterious...

I hope you all have a lovely evening/day and I'll be posting again soon, oh yes I will! :D

Here are some more pictures (just because it's christmas :P ):

Have a great day!

p.s. merry christmas to JipetSun! Hope to see some new posts on your blog too :)

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!

What I read...

Hello again! Today's post is about books. Summer is nearly here, so what should we read? Well, being quite a reader, I decided to show you four of my favourite books. Who knows, you might want to read one of them? Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Rebonjour! Mon article aujourd'hui va parler de livres. En effet, l'été est presque là, donc que va-t-on lire? Etant quelqu'un qui adore lire de bons livres, voici quelques uns de mes préférés. Qui sait, peut-être qu'un de ces livres vous attirera? En tout cas, j'espère que vous allez aimer!

And if you enjoy the baudelaire's stories as much as I do, you might like the twelve sequels!

Et si vous aimez les orphelins baudelaire autant que moi, peut être aimeriez vous les 12 suivantes!

These photos were so much fun to take!

I want to say a big thank you to Jipetsun who lent me her camera for the day!

Ses photos ont été merveilleux à prendre!

Je vous dire un grand merci à Jipetsun pour m'avoir prêté son appareil photo pour cette journée!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (3)

We're Sunday again! (this post was supposed to be published  yesterday,oups!)

I had time this week to take my time and think of what pictures I will take for Scavenger Hunt Sunday, and even though the themes were tough this week, it was so much fun to use my creativity and imagination!

So here are my interpretations for Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

Nous sommes Dimanche déjà! (cet article aurait du être publié hier, oups!)

J'ai eu du temps cette semaine pour réfléchir sur les photos que j'allais prendre pour ce scavenger hunt sunday, et même si les thèmes me paraissent un peu difficiles cette semaine, cela m'a permis d'utiliser ma créativité et mon imagination!

Donc voici mes interprétations pour Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

1.Beneath your feet

Worst moment of the week: weighing myself ;D ...

2. Capturing movement

Moving shells: making beautiful movements with beautiful sounds...

3. Texture

Cuddly, fluffy blankets: my favourite!

4. Face your fears

My fear:  lack of chocolate! ;) he's my best friend, and my worst enemy...

5. Currently

Currently reading this book for the third time!

So I hope you liked my pictures and I thank you for taking the time to look at them!

Can't wait to see the interpretations of my fellow hunters!

p.s. please become my follower, it will make my day! :D

Donc j'espère que mes images vous ont plu et je vous remercie d'être passé les voir!

Il me tarde de voir toutes les autres participations de mes camarades de chasse du dimanche ;)

p.s. n'oubliez pas de devenir mon follower, je serais super heureuse!

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!

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

Fairies

            

              

                

Today's post is just some simple photos of a few old fairy statues I found in my old toys.

I tested close-up shoots to see how they would come out, cause they are very small. Well, in the end each picture was taken at least five times cause my camera just didn't understand that there was something in front of him .

The quality is also a bit disappointing, due to the lack of light in the room.
But it was worth a try, and now I know that my little camera doesn't like taking very small objects in picture.
