Nothing worse than a power cut when you’re trying to get some work done. Particularly when it’s overcast and spitting out, and there’s nothing better to do than drink, imagine your playing games, and look out  the window.

Wish I had a flash and a tripod with me.

After bringing my camera up to uni for the first time, (after really missing having it the first semester back), I’ve finally got round to having some fun with it. I’ve been meaning to give porabolas a go for quite some time now, so here’s the results of my first attempt at them. I’m pretty pleased at how they came out, and they were a lot of fun to take. Certainly worth having a go if you’ve never done it.

For me, it’s something new, and certainly less furry than my usual subjects.

My handwriting is still awful no matter what kind of pen I use.

I’ve whipped up a new image for the blog header. Nearly two and a half years I’ve been lazy enough to stick with the default one. I think this one looks a tad better.

CryEngine 3 anyone? Looks amazing.

Just a few photo’s of my trip to Bristol last weekend. Generally the weather was pretty overcast, but I still feel I came out with some good shots.

Again as usual, click for big, more after the hop.

Stupid impulse purchases…

Should see me through til the end of uni at least though.

Been clearing off some of the old folders on my web server, and found these. Pictures from my trip to Kenya in 2004.

All taken a long time before I had even a remote interest in photography, but I’m still today really pleased at how some of them came off, especially seeing how they were taken with some cheap Olympus film camera. As usual – Click for big, more after the hop.

So… Apparently it’s cold outside. It’s only a bit short of T-shirt weather surely?

Write then, I’m finally finished up with the first semester of my final year hear at uni. Such a relief to be honest, I can finally have a bit off time with nothing lingering in my mind. Even over Christmas I had these exams to occupy my mind.

First things first. Make my MacDonald’s Coke more interesting in celebration.

I call it “the McHappy Shake”.
