New product in!

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I’m excited as my new product I’d ordered some weeks ago has finally come in. A variety of things. I didn’t want to order lots till I could see the quality first but I am happy with what’s arrived so have ordered more now. These items, amongst others, will be on sale at the Kallista Market this weekend.

The handbag is leather outside with vinyl lining, a small zipped pocket inside and a section for holding your mobile phone. There are also packs of playing cards – two designs so far, memo pads, desk calendar and wall calendar. I have more planned and hopefully they will arrive before the next market the following week.

I am happy to take orders and arrange delivery direct to you – please bear with me as I set up a shop properly on this site. In the meantime, orders can be placed via the contact form and I’ll give you details for making payments by Paypal, credit card or EFT.

332-365 Some of my product!

Business cards for photographers

November 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you are into photography, as I am, at some point you will have either already thought about, or will now you’ve read this post, getting a business card designed.  My first photography business card came from Vistaprint and I liked the design so much that I had a graphic designer do a similar style with my own images when I was ready to update.  All the photos are mine and most reflect the region I live in.  The brigher side is the front and the lighter side the back.  Means I can write on it, or the recipient can.

I thought that if you’re looking for ideas you might like to see what others have done. Some choose to use their photos on their cards and others choose not to.

This one and others was listed at slodive.com

Bags with your photo on it

October 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I spend a lot of time scouring the web looking at different photo sites – not just sites where photographers have shared their photos, but places where you can do something with your photos. Enter Artscow.com which is a relatively new discovery for me.

I’ve fallen in love with their shoulder bag products and the biggest quandary for me is which one, or how many? :-)

If you have a look you’ll see what I mean!  Click here to see more.

Designing Christmas cards with your own images

October 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Regular readers would have seen my recent posts about Christmas cards I was designing for sale at local markets.  And they have begun selling so if anyone is interested in buying a pack or two, or even individual cards, please do contact me to place your order.  $25 for a pack of 10, or $3 per card, plus postage.

However, what if you want to use your own photos and organise professionally printed cards, but you don’t want to go to the trouble of bulk printing cards.  I have the answer for you and it’s what I use to send out cards to my own Christmas list, birthday list and anyone else through the year. And what is it called? Just that – Send Out Cards.

I discovered this system when looking for something where I could get my own cards printed – just one at a time if I wanted to, or many cards, at low cost.  Send Out Cards is the perfect answer.  You can upload your own photos, or drawings and logos, write your personal message, add the person or persons you want to send to and click ‘send’.  From there Send Out Cards prints your card, addresses the envelope, adds the stamp and posts it for you.  And you can even have your own handwriting uploaded to the system.  The cost is approx $1.60AUD printed and posted. For those in the US it’s $1.47.  This is for a 2 panel greeting card. Postcards are less and 3 panel cards a little more.

You can watch a video about it here, or simply send a free card right now to try the system out.  It’s all on me!  And if you like what you see you can set up your own account to do your own cards.

Christmas is not that far away so now’s the time to act and either purchase your Christmas cards today or set up your own account to create your own cards.  Very easy system to use and you’re not limited by the time the ‘shops and post office’ are open in order to do this.

Great use of a fisheye lens

September 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I hang around various forums online. Not all are photography forums, some relate to my work as a Virtual Assistant and others relate to things of interest, and in this case, mountain biking. Regular readers will know that my husband is a mountain biker but currently not participating in events as he’s recovering from a serious accident of over 5 months ago.

However we did go visit his Team Sally mates at the Rockhop 2011 MTB Enduro last Sunday and while there I took over 600 photos of the riders and have now posted some of those shots online for viewing and purchase. I was chatting at the Rotorburn forum (MTB) to let them know I’d been at the event but also to catch up with the chats there and discovered some fellow photographers in a couple of threads. One thread in particular had a great link to a blog post about a photo taken in Austria using a fisheye lens. Now it’s got me wondering if I should get one :-)

Tristan says:

This photo was taken on June 3, 2008, and despite the many questions I’ve been asked surrounding the way it looks, I can confirm that no, it is not fake.

In 2008 I spent 6 months travelling through Europe. I’d just turned 18, I’d just finished school, and I was just desperate to get out of Sydney to explore the world. So I did what many people my age do; I booked a one-way flight to Europe. While there I spent time in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia, Vatican City, Scotland and England (technically not Europe but close enough for me), and Austria, which is where this photo was taken.  Click here to read the rest and see the picture he’s talking about.
