Haven't really been keeping up with this, ugh. Although I have actually been doing quite a bit of reading up on photography, and I am feeling more comfortable with the camera now. Here are some shots that I took over the last few days. The sunset ones were actually taken through the windshield of the car! Lucas slowed down a bit but I was sure I'd end up with just blurs so I'm quite happy with those :)

More cat photos. Obviously I need to get out more. lol Well I did go out yesterday and there is now a ferris wheel set up in Lyon but it was so cold I didn't want to take my gloves off. Some photographer I am. We might go into Lyon tonight, it's the annual Fete de la Lumiere, so I will make an effort and bear the cold for art.

Had fun tonight snapping away :) First the Mozie-monster caught in mid-yawn. Her favourite place is the back of the couch and I took this from underneath her, shooting upwards. Too funny!

We had Coquille St Jaques Gratinee for dinner to night. With a good white Haute Cote de Nuit. YUM! Couldn't resist taking these photos, it looked oh so delicious I had to share. You can see Lucas and Mozie in the first one. Then I made them move. lol

And finally a shot of the newly decorated christmas tree!!

Today we went to my all time favourite store to get our Christmas tree. I LOVE Ikea, they just have the coolest stuff at awesome prices. The main thing was the tree, but we also got a few other things. It's not possible to leave Ikea with only the item you went for. :) My original plan was to take a photo of the trees for sale, but it wasn't inspiring at all. Most of them were already in those net things and the atmosphere just wasn't that Christmasy.

I loved the way the sign looked when we were leaving, all lit up so I snapped away. I really like the colour of the sky in this shot and the blue light on everything. I should have been less lazy and walked closer to avoid the cars and the pole, but oh well. It was cold! lol ISO 800, 3 MP, P mode.

Went out to the post office today to pick up a parcel and took the camera along. I think this is the best of the shots I took. It's 3 megapixel, 400 ISO and P mode (which I need to learn more about).

I think this is probably the only fall foliage I will see this year, we had a warm fall, and then it got cold all of a suddden, so no real turning of the leaves.
