Photography..YET AGAIN

Ok, so I entered my pictures into the BBC's Photographer of the Year contest (yes, I am that good at taking photographs). There are, I think, 6 categories in total, the first one being "blue", I have sent in my photos for that already (photos which remained top secret for most of the weekend hehehe) and now I have to set about taking photos for the second theme which is...HIDDEN.

This is where you loyal/mad/crazy readers of this blog need to help me out. How can I portray hidden in a photo? I already have one idea but I have to gather the pieces for it. If you have any ideas, do let one know.

Thankies.

Talk about timing

I am SO doing that.

Time to drag out my mate Akaaaaaaaaaaaaash and go photo taking.

I shall have to read up a bit more on my photography books but I think I have improved a lot since when I first started.

Currently reading A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr, I have always had an interest in how the country became what it is today and this book answers those questions brilliantly.

Next object to establish: How did Britain get a class system? How did the first middle classes realise they were middle class? What did they do/have that the working classes did not? Obviously the answer is riches but if they could ascertain riches, why couldn't the rest of the country? Is it the fault of the monarchy?

(Blow)Job Offers

So I got a job offer, they want to pay me peanuts and I am too nice to say no, something must be done!

Also, I need to get my hair cut but I want to keep the length and get layers as I love the way it swishes, must go see some coiffeurs and see what they think.

My hair is currently like this..

Well, tis a bit longer now (about 1 inch) and I want to keep it that long but get layers so it looks like I have a bob when I tie the longer bits up, but then I can undo it and it all falls into place.

Going shoppeng tomorrow!

Junglist Massive

The resolution came out crappy, in the actual proper size you can see the dust on the screen, I think clicking it might show you what I mean.


Mi madre bought a new bag so I got a bit trigger happy.


Some religious thingy tied to my bed, I quite like the red and purple mixture so I tried to turn the contrast up high enough to show the shine of the bed too.


This one also comes out better when you click, but I changed the colours as twas quite a dark and dull picture so I dragged the colours out of the wood of my desk and the colours on the front of the magazine.



My skin is like soooooo white.

More camera shenanigans

So, I'm still in love with picture taking, have been snapping away more than David Bailey today and thus my batteries have run out and are being charged on up. I must admit that both reading the manual and listening to my mate has resulted in better pictures being taken but God forbid he find that out! Anywho, I didn't read the manual properly as I don't follow instructions, I made myself not understand it on purpose.

Anywho, I have one question, you have to turn the flash off when using it in macro "mode" but then what do you do when it gets dark? Stop taking pics?

I will upload some once the batteries charge.

I also need to straighten my hair and I am too lazy to do that, I think I look quite sexy with it curly, though someone who shall remain nameless DID say I bore a resemblance to Brian May.

Insane in the Membrane

Heh, I love this drawing.

Anywho, to the matter at hand, last night I was reading my John Grisham book and I got a stiffy because it was nearly finished. Anyway, twas carefully balancing the book on the old boobage and I took my glasses off to clean them, something moved and the leg of the glasses rammed into my ear and I was in excrutiating pain for the whole blardy night, I hope I don't go deaf, I don't think I will though because the same thing happened to Simon when I was 16 and he was ok so I should be good.

Finally read the manual to my camera and the badboy is currently charging itself up, DECENT pics shall be taken tonight/tomorrow.

Plus, I think I want to modify one of my tattoos a bit, I want to get five stars on the top of the T I have on my ankleage, will have to get my very own designer to figure it out for me. This is what it currently looks like, well, my leg isn't that shiny, this is when it was freshly done, I want the stars curving down the top of the T, should look pretty decent hopefully.



I am currently reading Underworld by Don DeLillo, seems ok, though I have only read the first half page.

More photos

Bleh

There is also a better version of this one someplace too, but I am currently too lazy to find it.

Hmm..the colours are nice but how to make them more vibrant?

I quite liked this one, it came out wonky because I put the camera on night settings.

ALWAYS keep your balls in your pockets lads

Decided to put the TV on and was ecstatic when I heard the following song:

Photography take 2

Well I've got a photography bug and so I decided to do what everyone does when they need help, I googled it.

Came up with a pretty good !!SITE!! and have thus been snapping away, found some new features on this here camera of mine, it does sepia tones itself, and black and white, there was another feature which changed the outdoor setting but I can't find that anymore so I will have to go to the Sony website or read the manual if I can find it.

Anywho, photos taken so far..

I tried to get under the shoe and it didn't really work out, more shall be posted later as the phone is ringing, talk about timing.

I quite liked this one, though there was a better version of it which I can't seem to find.
Shooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. These are the ones I had to wear yesterday due to my heeling activities of the day before.

Photography

I want to learn how to take decent photographs.


If anyone comes across this post and knows how to take decent pics, can they tell me?


I can take pics but I want to take those ones that look excellent, i.e. taken with a high pixel camera but aren't, I managed to take one the other day and I will post it up under this post but do I need a camera that has a million pixels as mine is kinda old now, I got it two years ago and there is a phone out now that has a better pixel thingy that my camera, not a good sign.



This is the kinda photo I mean *points downwards*, it got a bit confused though because I had to edit some other pics and this one got done too





This is the original one..



Tis a necklace, a very sexy one which I wore today, incase anyone was wondering.
