Things...

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?

Well, I've been tagged by the wierd and the wonderful...

SweetJoyCreations

Go check out her work. You won't be disappointed! ;)

:iconsweetjoycreations: :iconsweetjoycreations: :iconsweetjoycreations:

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged


So, as the rules state, here are 8 (semi-interesting) facts about myself!

1) When I was younger, I had the nickname of Turnipator because of my last name (Turner). Somehow, people thought to combine how [delete as appropriate] robotic/powerful/lacking emotion/destructive/just plain awesome I was (Terminator) with a similar sounding vegetable (Turnip). =P

2) I live right next to the beach in the North East of England. It's pretty cool to go down there during the summer, and it's great to go and watch the British Surfing Championships.

3) When I was 14, I went through a year of going to Hospital for random things. I was playing football one time when I decided to tackle a wall (:?), and I fell against it, breaking my arm and dislocating my shoulder leaving me to regain conciousness with my arm in a grotesque position behind my head. To make it worse, it was during lunchtime at school, and there were about 200 spectators. =P

Then my heart started playing up and I was diagnosed with something called *breathes in* Idiopathic Right Bundle Branch Block Ventricular Tachycardia. (Or something like that) It was nothing serious. It basically meant that my heart went into a fast irregular rhythm after heavy exercise, and stayed like that for hours afterwards. A quick radio frequency oblation sorted that one out though!

4) I've got a dog called Macy. Aliases include The Mace, Macycakes, Pretty Princess, Macy Moo, Macykins, Baby Mace, Moobaby...
Anything that disguises her scraggy looks =P

She does this wierd snake thing where she spreads her legs out flat on the carpet and crawls along using her front paws. Ewwww. She also has the reverse snake where she puts her back legs up and crawls using the front so her butt drags across the ground. It looks well gross. =P
She also smiles and sneezes whenever she gets happy and excited. Yes, my dog does smile.

5) Top of my ' places to visit' list is Tokyo. I absolutely loved New York and the whole big city vibe, and I think Tokyo would be even better.

6) I probably want to do something Earth Sciences/Geography based at University. I did want to do Graphics related, but I've changed my mind. Ain't a clue which Uni I'll be going to yet. If anyone knows any which are good for Geography, give me a shout!

7) I'm going through a Poker phase at the minute. I really enjoy doing it online, but even more so with friends.

8) I enjoy the occassional bit of rape...

BWAHAHAHA. Sorry, I am just kidding....

Or am I? :O

I have decided to tag the following randomly:

:iconurusername: :iconcarrot-nose: :iconfali-danfan: :iconlaurie-j: :iconmickern: :iconrobertgilbert86: :iconscreamoxcore: :iconmanga-ghost:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, how was everyone's Christmas? I hope you all had a good time. I hope you all had a good New Year too.
In 2008, I want to see my portfolio up and running. I want to start getting back into photomanipulation again too, 'cause I do miss it. So be expecting some more of that. ;)

Keep your eyes peeled for 18-55MM. ;)

Oh, I've nearly hit 5000 pageviews too, so cheers for that. Whoever gets my 5000th view and screenshots it (like that will ever happen :P) will get an e-cookie and a virtual hug.

Bye!
Sam
