A couple of weeks ago, I was at work, decorating Christmas baubles (my glamorous new profession) and minding my own business. Then, on my 15 minute break, I somehow managed to wander downstairs and spontaneously buy a Nikon D3000 DSLR camera. What?! Thanks to mum and dad for going halvsies as my Christmas present. :)
Anyway, because of dastardly exams, I haven't had a proper chance to press all the buttons and figure out how the darn thing actually works. However, I've been doing some fiddling in the last few days and this is what I got. The first two pictures are around Paddington, the next is at the Valley Laneway Markets and the last two are just houses on my street. I am aware of my amateurness, so just say nice things and smile. :)
Now, time for my latest favourite market discovery. I had a look at the Valley Laneway Markets yesterday and got chatting to a lovely lady named Nikky who was peddling her wares - fabulous photographs from around the world. By some twist of fate, she has travelled to all the places I would LOVE to go - Japan, Paris, London, Ireland, Spain. I know nothing whatsoever about photography, but I adored all the prints she had for sale - it was lovely to see the same places you see pictures of everywhere (Eiffel Tower anyone?) captured from a unique perspective. I bought a super cute print of an icecream shop display in Tokoyo, Japan. Have a looksie at this and more amazing pictures on her website.
That is allllllllll for today. Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I'll try and be more interesting in coming weeks!
