Photography

I am so excited to be starting Photography classes tomorrow. I have been playing around with my Nikon D90 and reading up on the User Manual to try and work out how to use the settings but I think I need professional guidance to get a better understanding. Below are some photos that I took of my kids while practicing. Some of them I used Photoshop to change up exposure, brightness, contrast, etc.

What do you think......?

Qatari Delights

Took a trip to Qatar for a few days and absolutely fell in love with the place - apart from the traffic!! Wish I had taken more photos of the street style fashion though, but by the time I'd get my phone out to snap a photo they'd be gone! People are not afraid to experiment and clearly wear what represents their personalities. There were sheer skirts, assymetrical shirts, floral-print leggings and so much more. I love their uniquness and originality. A very fashion-forward bunch! Hope to see more of it here in Bahrain. Maybe I need to start scouring the streets again and hunt down some Bahrain style setters.

Here are some highlights from my trip....



Boarding my flight with Qatar Airways - not the 5 star airline it claims to be!

Dining at the popular Souq Waqif

Live local entertainment


One of my outfits

Spotted these super comfy and affordable Nine West ankle-strap heels that are so in trend right now. I want the beige ones!!

Get a taste of the Big Apple here at Villagio - superb sandwiches. Yummy.

Such unique street style
Evening stroll at The Pearl

Some very tall buildings....!

Landed back into Bahrain - home sweet home.


Bahrain sunset and some very lonely buildings.....!
