We went out for dinner for my husbands birthday and I never expected to get home so late... and then I found the photos I had taken earlier were awful.
For this shot of some of the books in my bookcase I used the fifty prime and tripod with very low flash and tissue over the flash. I think the bright highlights are reflected candlelight. The candle is one of a pair of wrought iron candlesticks that I inherited (not that you can see them).
Inspired by Lady Min.

Two Zebras
Two zebra's given to me by my children. I would like to create a herd of zebras one day.
Taken in the evening with a tripod and the Prime 50mm lens with TeleConvertor 2X.

Christmas Tree Fairy
I promise this is the last of my Christmas shots until at least November.
I was putting away the last of the decorations today and found this treasure that my Nana created. I have no idea how old she is but she must be at least 45 years old and is only about 4 inches high; my Nana made the tinsel wand and fancy outfit complete with sequins.
I found (in my husbands old collection of film gear) a TeleConvertor 2X that I put with the manual 50mm prime. This photo has only had a slight crop, I can see me using this combination again. I have another photo that is all in focus but I preferred this one.

Puppy Love
My daughters treasure; her Rottweiler puppy Jed, playing with Zac, their friends dog.
We just got back from a busy weekend in Auckland catching up with family and having a late and wonderful Christmas dinner.
I didn't get time to take many photos today and still haven't looked at the other 300 plus I took yesterday. Thanks Ice Bunny for the reminder of the shadow and highlights adjustment which I used to fix the dark area on this shot.

Farewell Flowers
Today was my last day of work after 3 and 1/4 years. My workmates bought me these lovely flowers, knowing I will also enjoy them photography wise. LOL.
I am looking forward to what life brings next and hopefully a few weeks off to catch up on commenting!
Taken with Sony DSC-W170, natural light window light.

Twin Luck Dragons
Well I used a tripod and fill in lighting and still couldn't get it right. I should have used an auto lens, LOL.
These little dragons were a wedding present nearly 8 years ago. I think they are hand made - they come in a pottery egg (they are sitting in the remains) and when you break it you you find your little luck dragon who hold the coins in their mouth. We were extra lucky and got twins!
