No really, I BROKE MY BLOG guys. You may know because you rec’d an Error just like me for the last day. It was horriblog! I’ve refreshed about 200 times in the last 24 hours.
Well, my blog is finally back. I’ve got a HEAP of fun photos from the weekend’s festivities and I’ll be sharing them soon.
Hope you’re having a stellar day. Short week, almost Wednesday already! HUzzah!
<3 LOVE, CASE
This was fun. It was super busy! Seas of people wearing neon and bad outfits. I didn’t take my DSLR, thought it might rain. Street style would have been a real hoot. Nice to see Azari & III on the Echo Beach stage. Heaps of people who were total zombies by the end of the night. You won’t believe the vibration from the speakers backstage. Overall, awesome experience for first Digital Dreams. Cheers to Bacardi for a fun day!

I love love love this Color Bug product by Kevin Murphy (Australia). I’ve been using it for a few months. Colour in, wash out. It works like a chalk on your hair and is a totally perfect perk up when you need to get your roots done! Works on all different hair shades and comes in a variety of colours including pink, orange, lime green, white, purple, and GOLD.
This morning I was feeling Friday lazy, plus am about to go get my hair done tonight, so threw this in with a couple curls and VOILA. Stopped to snap a few photos with my new DSLR on the way to work. I’m looking to teach a Master Class in Self-Photography one day.
Peace out peeps, hope you hae a killer Friday night. I’m heading for a drink with the girls from work, then hair appointment, and probably a wild night at home watching a movie with my love. Mum is coming to visit tomorrow and I’m so glad it’s a long weekend.
A couple weeks ago I announced my partnership with Canon as a Brand Ambassador and over the past month I’ve been playing around with my new DSLR. The Canon Rebel SL1 is a compact 18 mega pixel camera with touch screen and whole bunch of features I’m not quite versed in yet. I have heaps to learn.
Canon has awesome resources and I’ve been playing on canonoutsideofauto.ca but the real way I’m going to learn is TAKING PHOTOS. I’m just getting used to using a DSLR. I’ve got a pretty good eye for composing a nice shot but right now aperture and ISO feel like new languages. Once I learn and understand exposure (ISO, shutter speed and aperture), I’ll be in business. I know it won’t take too long!
I’ve been playing around with ISO and exposure. It’s super neat how one photo can be so different by changing just one or two things.
This little Rebel has built in filters too. So, naturally I took a few selfies in the park to test them out.
This weekend I’m shooting Digital Dreams music festival and in August I’ll be shooting Disneyland and California! Staring in next month have a weekly fashion column for Dose.ca. This is where those Canon skills will really come into play. I’m excited to take my blog to the next level!
Below are a few photos I took using (gasp) auto to get used to using the camera.
One of the most beautiful things, a perfect avocado!
Limba the 50 year old elephant at Bowmanville Zoo.
A baby giraffe peeks out his head at Bowmanville Zoo. I need to work on depth and focus.
Flower pot at the cottage in Muskoka.
The dock and boat at sunset in Muskoka.
Gonna to practice camera settings in nature.
Over the next couple months I’ll be attending events and learning sessions with an expert from Canon. I gave them a whole list of things I want to achieve before December rolls around. I’m exited to take you on this journey with me! If you have tips on accessories or tricks that will help me out, please share!
On Friday night before the cottage we ventured up to Cabana Pool Bar to celebrate the solstice with Red Bull. Thanks to the lovely Becca Lemire for these snaps. I coloured them in Picasa and used makeagif.com to animate them.
