Sounds easy right? It took me FOREVER to get the settings right, well as close to good as I could get. The iso has been bumped up as high as it could go (1600), which was needed to let enough light in, but gosh the grain and noise is terrible.
I do kinda like this pic, apart from all it's faults. I like how the sparkler is kinda in the shape of the southern cross.
Anyway, this is the best of a bad bunch.
It was Friday night and we decided to have a picnic out the front. The kids and I had spent the afternoon making chicken and prawn rice paper rolls, along with lots of little dipping sauces. The lawn was frehly mowed, and the weather was perfect for some outside dining. The kids set the the picnnic rug out, with stepping stones leading up to it. Grace dressed up for the event in one of her princess dresses and topped it off with sparkly halo.
I'd bought some sparklers, and figured they would be a good start to night photography. I was hoping to get some nice pics with both of the kids, but little Xav was petrified of them. No doubt a hangover from his feear of fireworks. Grace loved them though, totally mesmerised and as soon as one fizzled out she was begging for more.
To end the lovely night off, we decided to rent a dvd and have a movie night. I thought it was about time for Grace to be introduced to Snow White, so that is what we picked out. We made a big bed on the lounge room floor. Grace was a little scared in parts of the movie, she wasn't fond of the parts with the witch but enjoyed most of it.
