This is the last homework I had to give back to Nicephore for the first chapter. The aim was to use multiple sources of light and the other instruction was that it had to be colourful. I used led lights and filters for the first time in my life and it wasn't easy! Follow the story of Lily searching for some clouds (and of course there might be some outtakes in the end:

And another black and white photography post!

A bit of black and white photography
One of my homework for Nicéphore, the photo school I talked to you about here, was to do portraits (above waist) black on black, white on white, black on white etc. you get the gist. The challenge was that each time, it needed to be with different lights (strong, moody etc.). I wanted to show it to you because it's not what I usually photograph and because I'm quite happy with how it came out:

Bath attempt number 3 with Lily
Remember when I tried my first and my second bath attempt? Well, I did it again! This time it was in the frame of my photo school exercise. The exercise was about taking photos with black on black, white on black, white on white etc. without burning the whites or hiding the blacks. But I also took pics in colour knowing I would want to put my bath pictures here:

Winter mood during our Christmas in Sweden
Looks like a black and white picture, right? Well, it isn't. It's just the mood of that day. If not the mood of the entire stay. There wasn't any snow nor frost. But at least there was beautiful pictures to take.
I never thought I would enjoy a foggy rainy winter day, but I did. And many times over:

The Year 2019 in in pictures and posts
In the end, I decided to do a year in review like I did last year and the year before, just to have an overview, a little round up and start fresh for 2020. Good way to share memories and see how quickly time goes. Also a nice way to see that when I think I haven't done much, it's maybe not so true.
Another year full of recipes, tips, inspiration and portraits. It's also the year I started working with my new camera for the first time, can you see the difference in style?:

New York - Easter 2019
I finally, finally finished a little movie from the footages I had taken in New York last Easter. I was waiting for that to share all the other pictures I hadn't share on the April portraits post. Somehow, I didn't have the confidence to do it so far.
But being on sick leave with a broken foot helps you get rid of that massive procrastination It was the first time I filmed with my new camera at the time and I wasn't as confident as with my old one. But in the end, I'm pretty happy with the result :

Apple and pear galette from Call me cupcake
My front courtyard has a little pear tree line and we agreed with my neighbourgh to share them. But in the end he didn't take much so I had plenty and many more to eat. I had done Vegan pear and apples galette inspired by Green Kitchen Stories last year. So this year, I wanted to try something new and the recipe, and stumbled upon the one from Call me cupcake. It has hazelnut frangipane so if you have allergies, I suggest you change it to almonds and or any nuts you are not allergic to.
I twisted it only slightly and it was the most delicious thing:
