Any idea what these are?
|
|
These were taken when we were in Cherating. The girls wanted to explore the resort & came across these tiny little balls. Only Balqis was the only one fascinated however. Her sisters were busy attempting to climb up a hanging ladder. Hubby was packing things up to check out, in the room (he travels a lot so, an expert in packing & repacking  ) & I was baby-sitting with a camera in my hands...  It was not of course a beautiful sight. Monitoring Balqis is one thing, shouting out of my lungs for the other two girls not to climb up too high is another. Still I have the time to play with my precious baby Canon  .

The Many Faces of Balqis
|
|
I have been playing around with Photoshop. Very impressive, I would say. Finally, I've got a hold of this software & it is definitely worth it. I used different approach in each pic.... Which do you prefer?
My subject is Balqis again. Of course..... in her best of mood!
Trying to ignore my camera...
Trying to scare me off!
Eyes closed, refused to look at my camera again...
Peek...
A..boo!
A monkey pose...
At last a smile from Balqis!!

I was just shooting things at random in my garden without any specific subject in mind... But upon reading on a friend's latest obsession on dragonflies, I might as well upload this one. So, what species is this ya? Hehehehehe....

Balqis again...
|
|
Balqis was warded in SYMC last week. She was whizzing & coughing non stop. As expected, it was lung infection. She is ok now, not to worry.
I stayed with her in the hospital & guess what? Hubby went home to pack up my things which he included my dslr!
These are some shots I took in the playroom. What do you think?

Amirah Balqis
|
|
This is my youngest girl. She is only 2 but see how she can really pose. Very natural responding to a familiar lense right in front of her... For those curious, she is snacking a dried mango slice but by the look of it, it is way from dry.
I hope I'm applying the things I've learned from the good fellows here in FP. This portrait, taken with 1/20, 5.6, 37mm with built-in flash. I know that it'd turn a lot better if I were to use my 430EX. First picture, edited but the background is rather too dark (my naive opinion..) With the second picture, I brightened it up to distinguish the blurred background. And the third is the original. Of all 3, I prefer the 1st picture. What say you?

Ice Skating
|
|
Both my elder girls, Yasmin & Wardah are students of Skating Academy, Pyramid Ice. Being a professional mother as I am, besides attending to their needs, chauffeuring them around is also part of my job. Bored of reading newspaper, novels and even magazines while waiting for them, last 2 weeks I brought along a toy to play with. My C350D. I took the opportunity to capture movements. It is so obvious (based from the shots) that I need lots to learn.
Yasmin & Wardah performing lunges. Dragging one foot behind & skating with the other foot in front.
Wardah & her spiral. She has to practise more. Her leg should be lifted higher than that. And she can only do spiral with left leg up.
My attept capturing a fast movement. Well... thanks to Wardah for her lack of practice. Her slow spin was easier for me to shoot.
Shooting Yasmin's photos was quite a challenge. She was too fast for me. Furthermore, this girl of mine is not friendly to cameras... Unlike her sister who always surrenders wholeheartedly to my shots.
Here is Yasmin... doing forward crossover
So? What do you think? Need feedbacks...

Meet My Princesses
|
|
This was taken in our car on the way to our recent holiday in Cherating. You'll be seeing them quite often, that's for sure. My lifelong models . I love this shot. Definitely that is a mother's opinion not a photographer's!

Bubbles Fun
|
|
You know how grandparents are towards their grandkids... This bubble gun is a little gift from my parents to little Balqis. From her expression, I'm pretty sure that she was really having jolly fun with the new toy. But did my shots show that? 
Wardah, thanks for helping mama monitoring Balqis. Yasmin was not around. She accompanied my father to the driving range.

My First Entry
|
|
|
I always have the passion in photography. Recently having purchased a new camera, I grab the opportunity to widen this long lost hobby of mine. Here are some of the photos I took while waiting for my girls' swimming lesson in Sunway.
