birthday present

okay, so I'm still working on my mother's birthday present and I'm still not sure which picture to pick BUT i've already narrowed it down to three combinations. I figuerd out why I didn't like the lemon ones. it was cause the water was too dark compared to the kiwi one, so I lightened it up a bit and it looks way better this way.

so here are the combinations I've picked.
I'm kinda leaning towards the third one, though the one with both the kiwi pictures looks kinda cool too, cause they are not all that similar.

birhtday fun

it was my mom's boyfriend's dad's birthday party (wow that was hard lol) yesterday. we had really luck with the weather cause it was all sunny, while today it's raining all day
anyway, of course I took some pictures

as most family parties most of the time is spent eating lol after the meal we went back home and had dessert there. the best part were the bubbles.


it always amazes me how something so simple can be so much fun

no matter how old you are (that's the birthday "kid" btw)

and I even managed to get one sharp bubble picture hehe

and one of me, just cause I was bored ;)

more water fun...

here are some more fruit dropping pictures. I quite like the kiwifruit ones. it's my moms birthday soon, so I may get three of those developed and give them to her. dunno yet which ones and I can use every help to decide, so just tell me which ones you like best ;)

and one of an oreo cookie dropped in milk :) best thing is I got to eat the cookies after I took the pictures lol

water and strawberries...

it's been a while since my last entry, so it's really time for a little update :)

I've seen those kind of pictures where people throw a piece of fruit in the water and snap the water splash a lot on the internet. and I always thought you'd have to have a tripod to get any good one, but since laura did one of those pictures too and told me that she didn't use one, I thought I'd give it a try
I'm not entirely satisfied with the result. dunno why, I guess I always find something I don't like at my own pictures, but I think they aren't that bad for the start.
I think I took about 300 pictures and out of those I had just a couple that were useful.

at first I tried it with a kiwifruit, but it didn't really work as good as with the strawberries. I'm gonna try it with some other fruits the next time, so there'll probably come more pictures like those ;)
