Saturday evening we attended a 70's theme party. It was Talita’s 30 birthdays and she celebrated it in style. I was volunteered by my partner in crime as the official photographer.
The party was a bit untimely since, I’m in the process of buying/importing a proper flash for the camera (Canon EX580). Gert also bought toys and since the bulk of the order is his he have to pay for it. Unfortunately we are experiencing credit card and bank issues which lead to a delay in shipment and I had to make do with an old flash (EX540) that is not automatic. So some of the photos were a little bit overexposed, since I had to manually set the flash intensity according to distance from the subject.
Ursula hired big afro wigs for us and we tried to dress as 70’s as possible from what we have in the cupboard. The only problem is that it is winter here and it is cold so you can’t wear what you want you have to keep warm also. One side effect of the wig is that it keeps your head nice and warm so you don’t feel so cold. My hair is thinning year by year and it is as if each winter is colder than the previous.
If you judge by how late we got home, how we felt the next morning and how much photos were taken, we must have enjoyed the party a lot.
