12 more days to the end of 2012. 12 more days to the end of the project. I almost can’t believe it.

Day 353 #Project365

December 18, 2012 by [ayu]

Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO500 | f/3.5 | 1/40 | Christmas is around the corner. More ribbons, cards, and wrapping papers are inevitable despite the notion (that we adults keep telling our kids) that Christmas is NOT about presents. It is the giving that can be a bit addictive, I suppose. The joy of creating joy. And that, my friends, with many ugly things happening around the world, is something we need to be grateful for this […]

Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO500 | f/5.6 | 1/100| This is Whiskey. He is a super duper active 2-year-old dog. He was surrounded and totally spoiled with treats by a bunch of kids today, maybe that’s why he looked so happy. I’m so glad to see that other dog finding it hard to stay clean. Like my dog.  Whiskey here was covered in cob/spider web all over his face and body, with some dried […]

Santa came and seemed to drop the content of his big red bag of pressies on this table. A bunch of very nice kids were really really happy today.

Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO400 | f/5 | 1/800 | These cute little things are Christmas soaps! Ms 4 received them from her BFF who, with his mom, made these themselves using melt and pour soap and some colours.  That bit of glitter on the yellow one was added especially for her. Nice touch, don’t you think? It’s not Christmas without sparkles..!

Day 348 #Project365

December 13, 2012 by [ayu]

The Mulley Street Yarn-a-thon was today. I’ve written about this event in a post back in August, at the beginning of it. Some of people from the local community, the students of schools involved in the project, even the ACT Chief Minister were there. The gathering was to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the big and horrible bush fire of 2003 in Canberra. The trees and the close surrounding area were, as promised and intended, ‘bombed’with yarns. It’s quite an […]

Day 347 #Project365

December 12, 2012 by [ayu]

It may be late, but it’s still 12/12/12 now. It won’t be soon so I’d better write this post super quick. No doomsday insight, instead I was out celebrating the end of year 2012 with some great friends before we go our separate merry ways for the holidays.

Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO160 | f/2.8 | 1/6| There is something about twinkling lights that just draw you in. Or maybe that’s just me. And moths.

Day 343 #Project365

December 8, 2012 by [ayu]

Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO200 | f/11 | 1/500 | Objects look better at dusk. Even these bunch of weeds. The composition wasn’t perfect as I felt a bit precious today and refused to lie down on the ground full of prickly dried grass. I placed my camera in front of object and looked on using the Live View (Lv) feature because the angle was a bit challenging. It’s quite hard to set up the camera this […]
