Best instax this week: week 10, 11 and 12

Wow I have been so busy lately. I've been trying to get prepared for my diploma course and it's ridiculously difficult. Now I've finally got some time to sit down and show you the best instax from weeks 10, 11 and 12 of my 2014 instax photo a day project.

So here they are:

Special mentions go to the third photo along the top which was taken at the hunter valley gardens. I've never been to a place that beautiful before. Also, the bottom left photo is of a project life spread I did. I absolutely love project life. I'll do a post about it soon to share the awesomeness that project life is. 

What do you think?

PROJECT UPDATE:

Lately I've found that I am struggling a little with my project. This is mainly because I spend majority of my time working on my diploma assessment. But I do still take a photo every day only most if them are of plants around my house which can get a little boring. I need to make some time to get out and take interesting photos every day.

Best Instax this week: week 9

Here are my best instax photos from week 9 of 2014. If you're new to my blog then you should know that I do this post once a week. They're photos from my 365 project using only my instax mini cameras. You can check them out here. The photos I choose are not always great photos but they represent a day that I enjoyed.

So here is the first one. It's my project like album and core kit arriving! I only just learnt about project life recently and I love the idea. I'll be working on a post about it soon. I just love the colours and patterns!

The second photo is of apple pie. Simple. It represents a night that my entire family got together and had apple pie. We rarely have time together as a family anymore so it's nice.

This photo is so blurry and really not a great photo but it had to be included. I went putt putt golfing. It was so much fun! And I haven't done it in years so it was just great. It made me ridiculously happy.

Are you doing a 365 project?

Best instax photos this week: week 8

I've been a little absent lately because I have been really busy and I apologise. I got some exciting stuff in the mail yesterday and I will write a post about it soon.

Ok so let's get into my best instax photos from this week.

The first is from Tuesday and is a photo of a mushroom growing in my lawn. I think it's just so cute that there is a little mushroom poking its head up out of the beautiful green lawn.

The second photo is of a branch with a storm in the background. This branch is off a tree I planted when I was very young and it is now a rather large sized tree. It was so nice to have a storm come over and cool things down a bit here.

The third photo is of a huge piece of watermelon, obviously. It was hot again that day and it was nice to sit in the shade and eat some cold watermelon. 

What did you think of the best photos this week?

Are you doing a 365 project?

Best instax photos this week : week 7

With instax photos (just like another photos you take)there are always some that are great and some that are not so great (or down right horrible which is sometimes the case with my photos). So I have decided to share the best instax photos I have taken every week. Although I would like to catch up on the weeks that I didn't blog I'm just too busy to do so at the moment so I'll be starting at week 7. Maybe one day I will catch up :)

The best photos this week are from Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. They all all taken around my house because I didn't go anywhere exciting last week. Just home and work for me. 

The first is a photo of the clouds. Yay clouds! We have been in a drought here and it has been so extremely hot. It's so good to see some dark thick clouds coming. Also is it just me or does that cloud look like an angry bird? 

The second photo is of the valentines day cupcakes I made. They're just so adorable that you have to love them. If only I had photographed the inside of them with my instax (when you bite into them they have pink love hearts baked in). 

The third photo is of my cat, Jerry. He's old, 13 years old to be exact. I love him to pieces. This photo is of him laying on our beautiful green (wet) lawn. He was there all morning even when it was raining. He's a strange one but he's my strange one. 

I hope you enjoyed a glimps into my instax week :) make sure to check out next weeks best instax photos. 

My instax wall

Because I have so many Instax cameras I found myself to have a lot of Instax photos in stacks around my room. I put some of them in albums but it still left a lot of photos. So I took to the internet in search of something to do with them all. There are a lot of people with a lot of cute ideas for what you can do with instax photo. Finally I came across something that I absolutely adored on the blog is found. You can find it here (http://www.theblogisfound.com/index.cfm?postID=535).

These amazing people put there instax mini photos above their mantle in the shape of a love heart and it's absolutely gorgeous. So I decided to do the same on my bedroom wall.

This is how it started out:

And now it looks like this:

I still have more photos to add but I don't think they will fit in the heart shape anymore so I may just start filling in the wall. 

How do you display your instax photos?

My Instax book

Finally I have found the book to stick my 2014 instax a day photos in. 

Yay yay yay yay yay yay

Ever since the first of January I have been searching the shops and my own collection of notebooks for the perfect one for my Instax photos. I have some lovely empty notebooks already in my possession that didn't have enough pages to hold all 365 photos.

Well here it is. Simple and gorgeous.

Blue is my favourite colour and this book just feels amazing. And that elastic strap will help hold it all closed when it's full of photos. 

I have only just started to stick my photos in and I will write information about each once I stick all my photos in. I just love it!

Do you like it? How do you store your instax photos?

My Instax cameras

It's no secret that I adore my Instax cameras. I just think they're amazing. No matter how many times I see a little print pop out of the top of one of my cameras I still find it exciting. So I'd like to introduce you to my Instax family.

My journey into Instax cameras started at the beginning of 2010 when my very first Instax camera arrived at my door. That camera was the Instax 210. At the time I didn't know that it would become an obsession.

This is the only Instax wide camera I own but I love it to pieces. A lot of people can not see past the fact that it's huge and when I say huge I mean ginormous! It's like the hulk of cameras. It's BIG. But it needs to be big because it prints out wide Instax photos which are double the size of the Instax Mini cameras. The size of the photos are Great and the colours are amazing. It came with a close up lens which has a mirror attached to it perfect for taking selfies hehe. 

The next Instax I bought was an Instax Mini 25 late 2012 because I sometimes found that taking my 210 was a bit difficult because of its size. There a quite a few Instax mini cameras avaliable and I chose this one because it wasn't too expensive but still had all the features I needed. This camera quickly replaced (replaced is such a harsh word) my 210 but only because it is so easy to take everywhere. The 210 will always have a special place in my heart. 

Soon after followed the Instax Mini 8 in the beginning of 2013. Why? Because it was new, simple as that. Although it was a down grade from my mini 25 I had to have it and who could resist the beautiful pastel colours, especially that blue? Of all my Instax cameras this is probably the one I use most. Not because of the picture quality (because to be honest the photos from this camera are just not as good as the others) but because it is the cheapest camera to buy so if I lost it or broke it then it would be easy to replace. I bought two more of these cameras, in white and yellow, to give to my friends as gifts and they love them too.

The newest member of my Instax family is the Instax mini 90. I've only had this baby for a few months. This one was sooo expensive and I justified buying it because it has features that my other Instax cameras don't have. It's so stylish and modern. If only my 210 had the same styling. This Instax mini has a built in macro mode (so there is no need for extra attachable lenses), various shooting modes, up to 10 second bulb mode, the ability to turn off the flash completely (something the other cameras lack) and a timer function. It's a pretty impressive little package and the photos turn out great. 

If anyone would like individual reviews on the cameras or comparison reviews I'd be glad to do so. Just  leave a comment.

 Do you have an instax camera? What do you think of it? 

Let's Start!

Welcome to my blog! Yay I'm so excited.

I've started this blog mainly to talk about and share my project of taking at least 1 instax photo every day but also to share some the other interests or obsessions I happen to have along the way.

Photography is a big thing to me. I absolutely love it. I've never taken a photography course and I am not a professional by any means but I love it none the less.
A few years ago I discovered Fujifilm Instax cameras when I was searching for a polaroid camera. For those who don't know what instax cameras are, they are instant film cameras which mean that the photo prints right out the top of the camera when you take the photo. (Yeah, it's cool I know). From the moment that my first instax camera arrived in the mail I fell in love with it! And since that day I have bought 3 more. I admit that I may be overly obsessed with them but I just can't help it.

So at the beginning of this year I decided that I would really put them to use and take a photo every day. So far I'm doing well. I have taken 1 every single day. Some are amazing and others are not so great but I learn from my mistakes.

Here are my photos from January all set out in calendar form:

So far this is a really great start to the year. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment :)

I look forward to our adventure into 2014
