Be Healthy yo..

F*&K computers and ghetto chavs..

I got my Macbook back yesterday after paying a shitload more to get it fixed and waiting nearly 2 weeks. I started it up as soon as I got home as I was on a tight deadline. I needed to finish an ad that afternoon. I flicked the switch to fire it up and....nothing. It didn't start. Straight back to the shop for another 4 days! So over it.

Also I'm still waiting on my guitar that said 24hr delivery. It's been nearly a week now too. Love the service.

Oh and I saw a chav guy bash and abuse some ladies, strangle a baby whilst in the possession of a 9mm pistol. Awesome!

Virus after VIRUS..

I finally got my pc laptop back. It lasted 3 days before shitting itself due to more viruses after I bought virus software. So I took it back to the shop. Paid them again, only to get my machine back with none of my design software or the Anti-Virus software. Meanwhile they still have my Mac. Sick one. So I can't upload anymore of my NEW FISHEYE photos because I don't have the software to compress them. Hopefully soon..

New lens..

Now I am officially hooked on photography. My photos still suck but I'm learning something everytime I go out and shoot. I purchased a 8mm fisheye for my Canon 50D. Arrives in a few days so I'm really looking forward to heading out into town and shooting some architecture. It has a 180 degree shooting range for great wide angle shit. Here are some examples from that lens.

Np. these pix aren't mine.



First 70-300mm Lens photos..

Below are the first shots from my new 70-300mm lens. I did quite a bit of walking that day through London. I had to quickly race home in the afternoon as it started snowing quite hard and I didn't have a bag or case for my camera. I tried to stuff it in my jacket. It got stupidly cold by that stage! I also visited the Dali Exhibition which was mind blowingly amazing! What a dude.


Notice the time similarities of Big Ben and Dali's sculpture, was that a coincidence?


I couldn't fit this building in the shot and I was a good 100 metres away. Need a wide angle!
The fisheye I just ordered should take care of that problem.



P.S blogspot does a great job of compressing and therefore ruining the quality/colour of these shots so click to enlarge and view them in a semi-compressed higher quality format.

First 35mm film photographs..

Below are some photos from my 35mm Canon film camera and Pieta's 35mm Lomo fisheye. They turned out wicked. I have nearly finished a roll of my fisheye so I will post them soon.
Click to enlarge.

This was two random photos Pieta placed together - Canon

The tones in this photo reminds me of a Smiths album cover.

Rarghhhhh Lomo!

Computer problemos..

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while due to computer problems.
The first problem was my Mac decided to just shut down and not turn on last week. Lucky I just got the pc laptop online that day! I decided to download lightroom and photoshop to it using some pirated software without having any anto virus software. Needless to say, it f*&cked my computer up. That was the same day that the mac died.

Anyway the PC is now fixed (new viruse software purchased) with 62 viruses removed and I'm back online. The mac is another story, hardware problems that could be quite expensive, still awaiting the verdict.

I still had my iphone for email and internet which was a lifesaver. I rely so much on the internet it not funny. Sad.

So anyway I will post some more photos shortly..
