"Click, Whirrrrrrrrrrr-ziep..."
Photography! Is sooooooooooooooooooo wonderful! Wooooooooooooo!
Sorry, moment of camera appreciation there... :S This is simply because I have started a second photography project (once again planned) and the results are... well, lets just say I'm pleased. The idea was to shoot Sheffield at night/late evening using my tripod and incorporating the streetlights and natural light... then combine the shots to create a panoramic as I did for my art projects last year.
All in all it seemed to work well, now I just need to "stitch" them together, which is the long and arduous bit. Still I'm sure I'll manage it sometime today. The Olde-worlde barn shots will also be up on ringo, hopefully later today sometime.
Speaking of photography stuff I have been looking at prices of appropriate equipment to buy for my course and (shit theres a few things I missed) and I am about to price up the reading list. I think i might go talk to Dad about it, it is clear i gonna need a summer job but there are some lenses on Ebay at the moment which look awfully tempting (we are talking about several hundread pounds cheaper than in England, (including postage for Hong Kong) for brand NEW lenses...).
In other news; a crazy moth keeps flying round and round in circles and attacking me as I type this. I have batted it away (actually made contact with it) several times but it just doesnt seem to be getting the message... Silly creature must have come in last night when the window was open (due to the oppressive heat of the hottest day ever in Britain? or something like that).
Ah! I get it! It's trying to camoflage itself in my beige t-shirt... Stupid thing...
