Things...

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 17, 2008, 12:56 PM


That's right. Things.

First of all, there's the (hopefully) snazzy looking journal. Don't think I did the CSS myself. I cheated and used one of those free journal creator thingies, but did it in the style of my portfolio at it's new domain of www.sam-turner.com
I felt that 18-55mm was just too complicated to say out loud to people and was hard to remember (unless you're a photograhy enthusiast). I've still got that domain too though.

I went out yesterday to High Force, which is a pretty big waterfall (by England's standards) on the River Tees. Being the doofus I am, I left the platform bit of my tripod at home (the thing that attaches to the camera with the screw). I was pretty gutted, and had to use my own 'glove + flat rocks' tripod system. They turned out alright, so I'll edit some and upload them.

Also, went to this nature reserve place with lots of deer, so I got some nice shots there. Although, here's a tip for you guys. Wildlife photography with a 50mm prime lens is pretty challenging. Try telephotos. :P
So, expect some creative deer portraiture soon. =P

I won't be uploading too much stuff soon 'cause I need to prepare for AS exams!

Anything interesting going on with you guys?

Is it just me or is the bg a bit "pixely"?

I think it's probably a case of over-sharpening. Does it look the same as it does on my website to you?

Now that I notice it, yes. Reckon there is a problem with the sharpness of my screen?

If I was to buy another lens, that would definetely be the range I would look at. At the minute, I don't want to spend any more money (just bought Leeds ticket, had to pay for We Are Scientists ticket and recently come back from camping trip with friends) so it'll be a while.

Thanks Rob. ;)
