Well howdy all - remember me?
Howdy folks...
Well, guess I better update this journal sooner or later 'ey?
I've been slightly slack on the LJ front lately but I promise I'll keep up with it a little better going forward. Forgive me? Hope so.
Anyway, here's a few happy snaps -
I got a new camera a while ago so I've been playing around with it a fair bit.... it's a digital SLR but it's what they call a 'bridge camera' so basically it's smaller than the regular bigger digital SLRs (but almost as much price-wise which is kinda weird, oh well, the lens is good and it still fits in my handbag so...!) it's just easier to carry around (as I'm not a photographer or anything I don't fancy lugging a massive, bulky backpack with me just to have a quality camera on hand) and it's also easier to use for those of us lacking in the serious photography knowledge department! *raises hand*. I did it in high school but never really took to it any more than just capturing cute things and preserving moments, I'll never be into the science of it or the technical side of it, it's just not my thing. All I like is a camera that can take a decent shot for me.
I just like taking fun snaps without having to obsess too much over settings and such but it is nice to have this slightly bigger camera because the lens is better and wider angle of course than your everyday point-and-shoot digital cameras and it is also a 'super zoom' camera which I wanted because my previous camera had a crappy low amount of zoom and this one features 24X zoom which is beyond awesome to have! I just love that.
It's also got a pretty wicked range of settings and features on top of just your regular Auto mode. I love using the Sunset feature; it makes the sky look breathtaking colour-wise! I reckon these sunset snaps that I took off the balcony over the past few weeks look pretty cool...
Pretty, right? The colours of the sunsets lately as the weather warms up have been ahh-mazing!
Um, what else? Oh yes, I have to post some piccies of the choc chip cookie dough cupcakes that I made... I've made these so many times but this time I baked them in shiny purple cups and boy were they cute and yummy!... not to mention they reminded me of Cadbury chocolate blocks with the purple wrappers.
Yes, they are *filled* with cookie dough. It's unbelievably wickedly delish. XD Taken with my old camera but hopefully the deliciousness still comes across... then again, no image can do these babies justice.
See, the pure yumminess of cookie dough filling! *food.porn.drool*
Some more random piccies...
Have a great weekend everyone :D
