Using tripods give you the benefit of stability, thus get rid of that camera shake that seems to appear in every one of your photos,

With foldable or mini tripods, they are really handy tools you can use to take great photos without weighing you down with a huge camera accessory. If you are serious about taking great photos, then it’s time to start the hunt for a good tripod.

In fact, tripods are especially good for nature shots or macro-photography where you want your subjects to be as clear as possible, but they’re definitely not limited to those types of photography. They’re also good for long exposure shots, slow shutter speeds or low light situations. Even if you try to just use a high shutter speed, you still wont have as crisp of a shot without a tripod.

My friends came to visit with their two and four years old boys, the boys are quite a handful. They run, fight and climb, everywhere we go. The two years old is a great explorer, he touches and takes apart anything and everything that looks interesting to him.

They are cute and adorable, but need a lot of energy to watch or babysit them. My aunt once said having a boy is like having a dozen children, I guess my friends have two dozens now.:-)

This cheeky boy is a professional actor, he can do any face you ask him to! When I gave him a good night kiss, he kept saying “Mummy, auntie kissed, faint” and then pretended that he fainted, lying on the floor, not moving, just to delay the bedtime.

Sowed a few seeds in the flower pot few weeks ago, now I have this beautiful flower and wonderful lady’s fingers (okra) to cook with sambal.:-)

Even a not so green finger person like me can grow this, you bet Lady’s fingers is the most hardy vegetable. Pests do not like lady’s fingers, so they are easy to grow.
