P.S – Hello New Lens!
I’ve never been any good at remembering things..when it was myself & Miguel’s 4th ‘anniversary’ we both remembered several days after the occasion. In fact, I’m not sure we’ve celebrated one in the whole 5 years we’ve been together. Romantic, eh? Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is – WishWishWish is now a whole 3 years old…and I kinda forgot. Still, to make up for it I gobbled down that cake with a cuppa, and may have just treated myself to a new camera lens too!
During fashion week, I had the misfortune of breaking both the 50mm 1.4 & 50mm 1.8 lenses that I owned, and I have been lost without one. Instead I’ve been carting around one of Miguel’s lenses that is as long as my forearm, and unless I wanted super-muscles, I needed to do something about it pretty quickly! So I finally replaced the 1.4 with a new one – a blog birthday present, lets say!
And whilst we’re talking cameras..I’m always asked which I use, and that’s a very good question because I’m constantly switching around. If I’m in London and Miguel’s Canon 5D MKII is available, then I’ll nab that…but when he’s using it or if I’m at home in Somerset then I’ll be using my trusty Canon 400d that’s been around for as long as the blog has! From now on I can safely say I’ll be using my new 50mm 1.4 lens…even if it’s so sharp it exposes my terrible cutting-out skills (see first photo!!).
Whilst we’re on the subject, if you have any camera related questions that you think I might be able to answer, just let me know in a comment.
Here’s to many more blog posts full of cake and tea x
What lens do you carry around with you most of the time? Or do you carry a few different ones?
Congratulations with the blog’s anniversary. I say: three more years!
Yaaay! 3 years!
I have a camera-related question! It’s about aperture. I really want the background of my photos to be really blurry but even when I go on aperture priority and portrait mode on the smallest f stop (2.&) , it doesn’t do it very well… I don’t know what to do! Ahh!
Oh wow, this is incredible. A big well done. Such pretty photos – as always.

Your pictures are always amazing! These are gorgeous. Shame lenses are so bloody expensive x
Congrats! That’s the most adorable cupcake EVER!
Well a very happy birthday to WishWishWish!! I’ve loved following you, and can’t wait to see what the next years bring. xx
Discovering your blog: it s great and so tender! I love the drawings in the title…
Yay camera-related questions! What sigma lens was it attached to your cam in this photo: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5267/5650960062_83be4f725c_o.jpg ? I recently sold my walk-around lens, and stuck to my 50mm f/1.8. Also, ever used the camera raw for jpeg instead?
I want a new lens, too. Somehow my lens isn’t really working, but they’re so expensive
Happy Happy good times. Congradulations! Take care and I always love your photo’s they are always beautiful and interesting!
I can ask you sooo many questions about cameras, lenses etc. I have a 500 D I’m very happy with, but it takes time to know how it works
You always such amazing photos.
xoxo

Oh, Happy Birthday Wish Wish Wish, am sure with the brand new lens, there will be plenty more amazing discoveries in your blogs. The cupcake pic is so petite nyummy, i love it. I’m waiting for your tips about photo because i love your photos:)
Happy birthday, wish wish wish!!
I was wondering: Which f-stop (aperture) and shutter speed do you usually use to get the dreamy effect in your pictures?
Looking forward to blog posts full of cake and tea (AND of course your wonderful outfits and your smiling face and and and)
