Oh to become a photographer?

I have always loved photography, and I thought I had an eye for composition.  But I look at my photos compared to others and I still have a lot to learn.  I'm wondering if I need better equipment?  Do I need to learn more about exposure, white balance and shutter speed?  Or does the advantage come in how you edit the photos? 

My passion is people pictures, action shots not posed.  I want to be able to take a shot of someone as they are laughing, crying, or yelling...but I can't seem to capture that emotion! Please let me know if you have any tips that I can use.

Review of Babies in Bloom...and the new stuff I learned!

I was able to drag my husband to the Babies in Bloom event on the weekend...yay honey!!  And it was quite good!  It was in a great venue, the Center of Learning is a beautiful building at Okanagan College. 

There was a range of exhibitors, everything from clothing to equipment to online suppliers.  Luckily for my husband I didn't go too crazy.  The only money I spent was with Booty Boutique. I picked up a neat scented disc to put in the diaper pail, and it seems to be working already!  As well, I picked up a reusable swim diaper (we are hoping to be in the pool a lot this summer!). 

I found out about a new Canadian shopping website called True Cuddles.  Check it out, it looks cool.  And we had E's picture taken for the Cutest Baby Contest, he is a true ham in front of the camera!  Pictures will be posted on Facebook soon for you to vote!

Even Dad had fun joining in on storytime and trying out one of these running striders.  I have to admit, E sure looked cute on the thing.  And Dad was having a blast!

If you are about to have a baby, or have just had one...I definately recommend you check this event out next year!

In the Moment Mondays...Spring is in the air!

Spring is not just blue skies, new sprouting flowers, and warm days.  For many of us this means spring cleaning.  An opportunity to get rid of some of the old stuff and re-discover what we do have! 

Some of the things we own:


Seven Jerry Cans!



A spare truck tire (I hope it fits on our truck).



A red SuperPerson's cape (don't ask!).



Babies in Bloom

 

The biggest Baby Fair in the Okanagan is happening this weekend.  Does this mean that spring is here?  You betcha! 

It's on this Saturday and Sunday at the Okanagan College Center of Learning.

I just checked out the website and it looks like there are some interesting exhibitors and guest speakers. I've also been told that I have to learn about "Bobs and Lolo".  Looks like I'll be able to find out soon, they are performing on Sunday.

Should be fun, see you there!

Tips N Tricks Thursdays...more cooking tips.

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream; then beat them.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste.  Add garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
