The other day I did a couple of test portrait shots...I wanted a portrait that was a bit more moody than usual.
It is not easy getting the low key lighting right...much easier to do high key where you can pretty much blast the subject with light.
I haven't had the time to experiment further to accomplish what I wanted...but here is what I did get after 10-15 minutes experimenting.

Last night we had a bit of a scare when we suddenly had to rush Aiden to the hospital in an ambulance...
He was over at grandads place most of the day playing and when he came back we noticed that he had a bit of a temperature and didn't want to eat, but otherwise ok and playful. We decided to give him a quick shower before giving him some panadol and then bedtime.
In the shower he was playing as usual with water and his plastic cups when I left him to get dressed. When I came back a few minutes later to turn off the water and get him dressed I could tell that he was not his normal self and was shaking a bit. Thinking that he was cold I quickly took him out to get him dressed but could then tell that he was pretty bad...I couldn't get in contact with him and his breathing was irregular and shallow.
I quickly called Kim and had her call an ambulance. While we were waiting he started having some muscle spasms and started throwing up. Fortunately we are close to the ambulance station so they arrived pretty quickly and took myself and Aiden to the children's hospital which is also close by.
At the hospital he started responding again and the doctors there think that a spike in his fever caused it. They kept him there for most of the evening until his temperature had dropped and they were sure he was well hydrated which was around midnight.
Good that all turned out ok...Aiden has been pretty happy today even though he hasn't eaten much and slept much of the day.

This weekend we went to the local park to get a photo of Lucas for his 'First Year' album.
We wanted to get some photos of him on the swing.
But we also managed to snap a couple with Aiden...

Aiden has started playing soccer (not real soccer, but they do get to kick a ball).
He is very proud that he has real soccer shirts and shorts.
We started taking him to assist him with his development. We are starting to see some progress but he is still a bit behind his age group.

Last week it was Aidens 3rd Birthday.
We celebrated it by singing happy birthday and having cake.
For his birthday he got a new car as well as some new shoes.

The other day was in the park with his daycare group to play at the playground.
While he was there he was bitten by some unknown insect and the morning after his whole face was swollen.
Fortunately he was happy enough and it didn't require any visits to a doctor.
They finally caught us and wanted to put us in the big pot...
...but we told them that we are too skinny and that some of the fat tourists would taste better and be able to feed the village for months, so they let us go (whew...)!

On the weekend we went to the Sydney Wildlife Park at Darling Harbour.
It was good fun to show Aiden all the different animals (Although he was pretty tired by the end).
The highlight of the exhibition is the 4.5 meter long Saltie (Saltwater Crocodile). He is such a darling and he loved his girlfriends so much that he had them over for dinner (Ha Ha).
Aiden wasn't sure about the crocodiles and definitely wasn't happy with the big mouth and all the sharp teeth...
...Daddy came to the rescue and threw himself at the monster.
He was a bit more happy with the smaller cuddlier animals...
Such as the wombats...
...the Yellow Footed Rock Wallabies...
...or even the Tasmanian Devil.
The start of the exhibition is pretty amazing as you wank through a large enclosure with lots of butterflies flying around.
And besides from that there is of cause a lot of lizards, frogs and snakes on display.
