I am having a blast with my Tiltshifting app for my itouch - I am just in love with the effects ... take a look below at some shots from last weekend.
I really fell in love with the photo below .... I decided it was time for a new look header. Den and I have even noticed that some TV shows (Downton Abbey) are using this effect. It's not 'depth of field', it's simply the complete focus on one element of the image with high saturation and contrast. I love this image below as I feel it encapsulates so much ... the bucket as the feature and representative of how hard Den and I work, the whole house, two cars and kids backgroud and capturing Katie mid flight in skipping was purely coincidentaly. Love it!
Queen's Birthday weekend saw us into the city ... some more Japanese for lunch and then a bit of a 'cake crawl' with time spent at Federation Square to see the buskers and entertainers.
Just wandering around taking in all the many things there are to see and do in town. I can't believe my kids are growing so much ... gosh they both look so tall in these phtoos.
I had to pull out my SLR for this shot below ... isn't it a classic! I just could not decide whether I like the colour or b/w version? What do you think?

Thanks for the link to Romy's presets! They create a terrific warmth.
Morning Helen,
Achilles looks a very contented cat, love his colouring! I wish I had an iPhone, just so I could play with the amazing apps you can get for it ... maybe DH will pick up on my hints & buy me an upgrade for my birthday. LOL!
And as for your photo of the flower stall ... it's got to be the colour version for me, such a gorgeous array of colours!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend & have a great week ahead.
Hugs,
Sue

Thank you for the link towards presets. They are magnificent!!! Quite as your photos moreover;) your new banner is gorgeous;) Achilles is very beautiful;) and for the photo of the stall of flowers, I do not know which I prefer. Both have the charm is are really very very beautiful! Hugs
Definetly colors! I can't believe you get colors that bright in your "winter". It's amazing how the kids grow isn't it? Sometimes I swear I see a difference from night to morning! Off to check out the presets.
Have a great week Helen!
Great shots, Helen! I like both of the flower stall photos, but the color is my favorite. Achilles looks very healthy and well adjusted. Almost regal. LOL
Oh Helen, Achilles is so cute! :) Love your photos as usual! Your new header one is just amazing! What a great shot!!!
As for the flower stall photo, it will be the color version for me, love it!!!
P.S. I love that new preset by Romy too, isn't it gorgeous?
I think I like the color version: it emphasize the flowers and the guy holding the bouquet...
I love the two photos in the middle - what did you use on these?
also, I'm sure your family knows about you stalking them with the camera but still, I love when people seem to be unaware about it, like where they watch intently...
hats down, my friend!!
