Merry Christmas Shuttertalkers!! Hope you all are having a fabulous time! We had our family christmas celebration, opened our pressies at midnight and continued waaay into the wee hours of the morning.
What did everyone get? I got:
- Cool quiz board game (like trivial pursuit but Aussie made)
- A shake powered torch (no batteries needed)!
- Nice book
- Bed sheets
- Dinner plate set
- Wine glasses
- Japanese samurai DVD
- Some clothes
and a few other things... no camera related stuff, but it's all good

This is what Irma and I got: A brand new aquarium!
These fish are not bad as models, at least you can get them to build a swarm and swirl around just by coming close to the glass. They beg for food like puppies.
The one thing I have yet to teach them is to stand still while I'm taking the picture. Without flash, it's nearly impossible to get them sharp.

The Photoshop CS upgrade, from one of our sons, amongst other things. I have to confess he gave it to me about a week ago and already installed it (when he was here) We have 3 sons, only one can be home for Christmas this year so we had a family get together last week.
I'm really thrilled about winning the Amazon voucher too. Last time I won anything I was about half a century ago when I won an essay competition at school
I'm planning on buying a Photoshop book with the voucher - maybe "The Photoshop Bible".

I like aquariums, never had one though as I wouldn't know how to look after it properly! I like your picture - I dare bet it looks very good full screen size too.
