I have always wanted to be able to take amazing photos of cats, but sadly it turns out that cats aren't as easy to snap a photo of as you might think.
After taking heaps a failed photos...

...I finally decided to go a watch a video to find out what I was doing wrong.
As soon as I finished watching, I grabbed my camera again and took some more photos. This time they turned out much better.
I played around with the shutter speeds, took some photos using the flash, tried to capture the cat's personalities better, and played around with the angles.
Gemma-Rose and I walked down to the park at the end of our road. I had my camera with me.
We headed over to the play equipment. Gemma-Rose decided to slide down the slippery dip. I snapped some photos of her as she flew down.
Gemma-Rose also wanted to play on the swing.
Soon we left the play equipment and headed over to the playing field.
Gemma-Rose lay down in the warm grass.
Suddenly, Gemma-Rose decided to run across the field as fast as she could.
Tired, Gemma-Rose pulled out the book Mum wrote and published, The Angels of Abbey Creek.
All too soon we had to go home. We had a great time at the park. I really enjoyed taking all these photos.

When I'm not taking photos, one of my favourite things to do is to edit them. It always amazes me how much better you can make your images look with just a little bit of photo editing.
Today I thought that I would make a video tutorial on how to do one of my favourite effects, the colour splash photo effect.
Here are some examples:
I hope you will watch my video!

"Mum, can I cook some pancakes for afternoon tea, please?" Gemma-Rose asks.
"Of course!" Mum agrees. We all love pancakes!
I have an idea, I grab my camera and follow Gemma-Rose into the kitchen. I could get some great photos of her cooking.
First, Gemma-Rose gets all her ingredients out so they're on hand.
Then she starts measuring them into a bowl. Four cups of flour goes in first.
Then eight eggs.
Lastly, she pours in four cups of milk.
Then she whisks it all together.
Over at the stove, Gemma-Rose ladles the batter into a frying pan.
Soon the pancakes start piling up!
Soon we have enough to eat. They taste delicious with rice malt syrup and butter!
Do you like pancakes? What's your favourite treat?
Mum and I are walking down the old abandoned railway in our village with our cameras. We are hoping to find something exciting to photograph.
I see a house beside the tracks whose mail box says 'Station House'. I wonder if the house used to be the real station house back when trains came through our village.
"Look at all the patterns in this corrugated iron," Mum says, pointing at what we think is the remains of the old station.
We both snap some photos of the iron. It turns out to be quite a treasure-trove for photos!
I soon decide I have enough pictures of the corrugated iron and move on.
I see some road signs (the train tracks run alongside the road) and I take some photos of them.
We pass this track as we head away from the railway towards to road. I snap a photo.
I see loads of gorgeous flowers and take millions of photos of them as well.
All too soon we're heading home. Our cameras are full of photos. Hopefully we have taken some good shots.
As Mum and I head back up the street we live on, we start talking.
"I wish I had somewhere I could share all my photos," I sigh.
"What about your blog?" Mum asks.
"I can post some of them there, but if I post them all there, then I won't post anything else," I reply.
"Why don't you start a photography blog," Mum suggests. I think this a great idea.
So Dancing Among Daisies is born. I am really excited. I can't wait to post all my pictures here.
