Almost Sleepover Party
Beside Christmas and Easter, birthdays are my favorite time to have fun dreaming up great celebrations.

Equipment DOES Matter
I stumbled upon this amazing time lapse video of Milky Way. Terje Sorgjerd captures the Milky Way over El Teide, Spain’s highest mountain. There is no way you could capture these images with your smartphone or a point-and-shoot camera. This was filmed between April 4 and April 11, 2011. The individual frames were shot using a Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon 17mm TSE, Canon 16-35mm II, Canon 24/1.4II and Sigma 12-24mm. Now, sit back and enjoy! It’s simply stunning and justifies why investing in quality pays off. 🙂 The Mountain from TSO Photography on Vimeo.
