Top 10 Highlights of August

 

Hearty Breakfast

August has been a month of feasting for me. The kids were treated to breakfast at the airport as I decided a change from our normal breakfast routine at home.

birthday cake1.  I celebrated my 34th birthday and met up with many of my friends to celebrate. Birthday celebration started a week early with a lunch buffet with my friends at Traders hotel. I love the slice of tiramisu topped with strawberries which was served towards the end of the meal.

2.August marked a new milestone for Tiger Girl as she entered playgroup. She now goes to school with Doggie boy and enjoys spending time in school. Doesn’t she look cute in her uniform?

Cheesecake

3. It was bags and cheesecake as I bought new school bags for all of the kids and resumed baking. This time instead of doing a  one flavoured cheesecake I decided on a marble cheesecake which had chocolate added inside.

4. If cheesecake is something which you don’t really fancy then how about some chocolate brownie instead? This was the 2nd birthday cake which I baked myself that was cut on my birthday itself.

5. More on chocolate cake. During an outing with some friends I was introduced to a cafe which  serves really yummy chocolate cakes and tarts.

Chocomisu

6. I really had my fill of chocolate cake with the chocomisu I baked last week. It was the third bake that I did in August and I really have had too much cake.

Rock climbing

7. The boys had a blast scaling the walls when we were invited for a free play session at The Rock School.

8. Tiger girl had fun painting and creating her own unique masterpiece at Hearts Studio. It’s an excellent place if you are looking for signing up your child for art classes.

9. I shared on how I do it all – creating blog content in between my hectic daily schedule and how precious seeing the kids enjoying sibling love is to me.

Bougainnvillea

Capturing your attention with a dash of colour.

Last Monday I wrote about my study partner and how I am learning how to take better shots with my DSLR.  Over the weekend while out with the kids at the park I took the opportunity to photograph the flora and fauna around us.

It’s amazing what one can capture  and through the different ways of editing the photograph the effect can be drastically different. The same object looks different when it is taken at different angles and after it has been processed differently.

the flowers

Using the different filters one can depict the mood of dreaminess and serenity  as seen in the shot above. The blurry background also helps to keep your focus on the flower in the center.

cross processed

Having the colours cross processed and framed in CinemaScope “ages” the photo  and gives one a sense of nostalgia.

I’m still learning to mix and match the different filters to give maximum effect to the raw photos which I have snapped. It really makes a great difference to the picture after doing all the editing.

How do you edit your photos to give them maximum visual effect?
