My other favourite day

I am going to do a fair few blog posts about my time with Gavin, because i don't want to forget it, so if you aren't into sappy posts then i suggest stop reading now ;) 

Gavin was only originally coming for two weeks, but his uncle passed away so he stayed an extra week to attend the funeral. Because i wasn't expecting him to still be here on the third week i had a normal busy week planned. One night we decided to go out on a proper date, which was a nice change from all the days of seeing each other quickly around my work schedule.

We went out for dinner at the Prickley Cactus. It cracked us up that they gave us water in a tequila bottle ;)

The meal was so yummy! I loved going out on a proper date with Gavin :) we had a lovely time and i love that he does cute little things like holds the door open for me, pours my drinks and pays the bill ;) He is so sweet :)

After our yummy dinner we weren't quite ready to go home yet, so went for a wander in kmart... Gavin considered this hat, but didn't buy it in the end :p 

After that we went to maccas for dessert :) 

I actually really like this picture below, it is one of my favourites now :D

Thank you Gavin for another favourite day together :)

My favourite day

While Gavin was in Tasmania we only had a couple of nice days in the whole 3 weeks he was here! On one of them we decided to go to Tamar Island Wetlands. Neither of us had ever been there and thought it would be a nice day out.

My tour guide looks a little confused ;) 

And he also secretly loves to model ;)

It was such a pretty walk, despite it being totally shallow and dry! I'm sure it's even more beautiful in summer.

We had such a lovely time walking along the board walk, chatting to each other. Poor Gavin had to quickly get used to me stopping every 2 minutes to take a photo ;)

I love this shot below - we are too busy laughing at ourselves to pose for a pic :)

I loved being able to lay down on the board walk and take these photos with Gavin :)

Close your eyes if you don't like kissing photos! ;) 

 I also loved our great conversation, and laughs :) 

And may have also loved our hand holding ;)

Combine that with the sunshine, and you have my favourite day :)

Justin -Photography-

I took these photos of Justin in the bath a few months ago. I love everything about them, especially the light...

I used my Canon 7D, the settings were f-stop 1.8 (aperture priority, so i can't remember the shutter speed) I shoot in RAW and i used an action from Florabella to edit them in Photoshop, it is called 'Black & White film'.
I used natural light from a tiny window on the top left. I love the dramatic effect it created and even more so in black and white.

And this one below is my absolute favourite of all....

Thanks for being such a cute model, Justin! :) xx

Autumn

I am loving all the autumn leaves at the moment. I love the colours...
At TAFE a few weeks ago myself and a couple of people from my class went outside to have a little play, taking some photos with all the leaves in the courtyard. It was nice to take some creative photos just for myself for no reason at all :)

I am obsessed with black & white film and also making my digital photos look like black & white film at the moment.

Something about the sharp look of the string gets me ...

For these ones of the bread tie i couldn't choose between black & white and colour, i love them both!!
