Memoirs of a Christmas Day

It seems as though Christmas was absolutely ages ago...turns out exactly one month ago, it was Christmas Day :) Today I thought I would remember Christmas, and show you how my day went.

So as soon as I woke up (at about 10am) I grabbed my camera and new lens I got Christmas Eve, let the cats in my room and tried testing out some photos to see how the lens effected my photos :)

On Snowball I tested out using f/1.8, and then using an aperture of f/5.6 which is most likely what my previous lenses would use.

Then I tested out the same thing with my lens cap, and here I think you can really tell the difference of how the smaller aperture effects the photo.

I then went downstairs and got some cereal, but was very surprised to see just how many presents there were. We were basically all expecting to have no presents to open. me - I got a new laptop a few months ago with some early christmas money going towards it, another remainder of my money went towards my holiday, and whats left I wanted to save.

After I had eaten and got changed, while I was waiting to open some more presents, I grabbed my camera again to test some more photos (yes I do love my camera and use it a lot !)

Here are some photos I took throughout the day :)

I do love my nanny :) ^

And of course we also had the fun that all dog owners have, attempting to take some cute photos of a dog in a santa hat while putting it on their head, and hoping it will stay there, and trying to get them to look at the camera whilst they aren't ripping it off their head... hmm... that'll work !

I carried everything up to my room - In one journey of course - You have to grab tons of stuff in your arms and struggle up the stairs carrying it all, before plonking it all down in your room - anyone else do this?

I then had a lovely meal (three bird roast and gammon) and we sat down for the afternoon to watch Skyfall. I can't exactly remember what happened to the evening, but I think we watched another film?

Crystal opening her Christmas present!

Stay tuned!

Long time no speak!

Sorry for not posting in completely ageessss!!
This is basically due to the lack of time I have. Where it is easy to quickly post a photo on Instagram and caption it with an emoji or something :) it is a lot harder to find time to sit down and type a blog post (especially since I have recently become a slow typer !)

Howeeveerrrrr.....
I shall be blogging more often! I will either be blogging routinely (which I will set a day for, but it will probably be thursday) or randomly.
Also as I have mentioned on my main Instagram account, and personal, I have some rather interesting changes that I'm making to my youtube channel ;) As you will see in Wednesday's Video (as long as it all goes to plan!) "Beauty Haul & Updates" I will tell you all the changes that are happening; including my new camera body, reasonably new, aperture on new lens, and new software. Oooooh exciting stuff :D although the software is very confusing, if everything goes to plan then it should be pretty good! I hope you enjoy the slightly new video style.

Stay tuned!
