Update post?? What is that anyway?? Well… let me tell you:
First off – I have created a Facebook Page!! I know, what have I got to offer?? Not much – yet…
But I plan on having some fun projects on there – cool articles (being that about travel, photography or whatever…) This page links to my blog – - – It is not a business, just a fun place to hang out!! So, follow the link on my homepage or click here to join in!! I am hoping to build a community with similar interests & in turn maybe also get/make the time to do more photography (&develop this skill!!!) – hopefully you can learn with me by joining in my ‘Photography To Do’s'…
As you can see – I have already posed myself a new photography challenge to develop a new skill!!! Tilt-shift photography – I am taking a normal photo and changing it to make it look like a miniature model!!! (You might recognise this photo from my Edmonton posts!!
) If you want, join me on my page & we’ll share, grow & develop our passion!!
Secondly – I have a new watermark!! As you have probably realized, I have not used my previous one for almost 6 months – simply because I was not crazy about it!!
But I made a point of it today to make one that I am at least a little excited about!! & voila!! So, what do you think??
Thirdly – along the same lines… I have joined NickExposed in a collaboration with Seeing Spots Photo with their Long Exposure Project!! The gallery was released today – go and have a peek!!! They are going to release their third collaboration theme soon… so sign-up to join in – It’s free & fun!!!
Fourthly – It is C.R.A.Z.Y cold here this weekend!!!! & I mean really cold!!! (although not minus temperatures, I find that I’m colder here than I was in Canada with the minusses…) Why?? Because here in South Africa we are not equipped for the cold – if it is cold outside, it is cold inside as well – which is awful!!! I love the winter for the heaters and the blankets etc…. so loving this weekend!!!
That’s it for my update post!!! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!!!

Love the tiltshift photo! Well done!!!!
Thanks Becca!!!
Like, Like, Like – I liked your Facebook page, I like your tilt-shift photo, and I like your new watermark a lot
!!! Wow, you have been busy. Where do you find the time?
Hahahaha – Thanks Cindy!!! I appreciate it a lot!!! – It sounds like a lot, but don’t be fooled
I love my “lazy time”

Xandré, I found and liked your FB page! I look forward to following you on FB, and seeing what fun things you’ll be pursuing and accomplishing!
Thanks Henry!!! When you have time, maybe join me on a “project” or two!!! You still in the Bahamas?? I’m sooooo jealous!!!

Busy bee! Well done, Xan, love the pic and love the idea that you are so enterprising. And love you!

Aaaaaahhh – & I love you too!!! Thank mommy!!! I need to keep myself busy!!

Wow that is a lot of news.
Sounds like a lot to keep you busy, just the medicine when you will be trying to get everything ready for the move.
I’ve been following Nick for 6 months, back when he had a handful of followers not the thousands he has now. He is awesome. Been watching what facebook has done for him, but not sure I have the time (yet) to do it, though I’ve been thinking about it and would love to do it.
I love your new watermark. What’s the magic (how-to) to save and re-use? I’m tired of redoing mine every day. :}
Thanks Shez – yes, he is keeping busy!! I haven’t been following him for long yet… but looking forward to what he brings to the table!! What program are you using for your editing Shez?? If it’s photoshop I’ll quickly email you a quick methodology??

tilt shift should be fun… its growing on me
It seems we are discovering the different aspects of photography almost in the same order!!! First HDR – now tilt-shift!!!
If you have a few to share, feel free to post the link on my fb page!!

Ooo This looks fun! I want to try some tilt-shift too!
Yaaaay!!! It would be awesome if you do it as well!! We can learn together!!
**
Good on you for starting your FB page Xandré! I’ve been wanting to do the same but for me I don’t think the time’s quite right yet.
I like your new logo but to be honest I really liked your previous one too. It had a real elegance. This one has a stamp-like quality (in a good way) and certainly has presence; Germanic in a way. Also like the tilt-shift processing; Im really looking forward to seeing some more of your projects. Great stuff!
Thanks Distan!! I also liked the first watermark, but somehow it didn’t quite feel “me”… I’ll give this one a shot for a while – you know how it goes!!
Be sure to let me know when you get your page running – I’ll be first in line to be there!!! But in the meantime – I’ll be waiting patiently!!

I will be joining you on FB. I’m also looking at doing this as well. I’ve created the page, I just need to get a bit more content before I publish. Really interested in the tilt & shift shots.
Thanks John!!! I can’t wait till you’re ready to publish your page!!! Excited to see what direction you’re going to go!!

I think this is possibly what I’m worried about. Which direction to actually take things. I want to make sure its right first.
