I arrived in Norway yesterday to stay with my sister for a week, I had pretty much been awake for 24 hours as my 2 year old niece wouldn't let me nap!! The photo above is the most amazing view from my sisters front porch, imagine waking up to that sight every morning :)
Today we all went to the reptile park in oslo, which kinda looked like it was in someone's basement! but had a great range of snakes and lizards, even a crocodile and a parrot.
The lighting conditions were pretty dark and I didn't want to disturb the creatures by using the flash and so I used a slower shutter speed of 1/10 to 1/20, a high ISO and I put the exposure up to compensate.
I had a great time in Norway, I always do, espcially cause I got to see my sister again but also that I met my new baby niece Thea (pronounced Teya - the Norwegians don't pronounce their h's like we do!) to be honest thou, I think I will be going back to England for a holiday!!! not used to the early mornings and active days enforsed on me by my wonderful two year old niece, my sister bless her did try to keep her from coming in my room at rediculous o'clock..... you see, she does doesn't quite understand the whole lie in concept!! hats off to my beautiful sis thou, she is a great mum with two adorable babies :)
