Hey all,

Although well overdue, below are some of my favourite Ski photo’s that I took with my Lumix G2 whilst on Holiday at the start of 2012 in the French Pyrenees. You can click on each image for a larger view of each.

Hey all,

Sorry for the lack of blog post(s) last week, I have been away skiing in France and the WiFi was just a pain… dropping out every 10-15mins requiring you to reconnect and its average speed was about dial-up speed (on a good day!).

Anyway, I am home now and in the process of uploading all my photo’s I took over the week to my FaceBook account. I will upload a few here in my new post later on today or tomorrow afternoon.

I hope everyone celebrated the New Year in one way or another! I spent the night with good friends in Brighton at a friends house who is studying at Sussex University. Most of my 6th form friends were all there and it was great way to catch up with everyone and have a good laugh or two well into New Year’s Day!

So, 2012… Lots to do and think about this year. By May this year I will have (hopefully) finished my second year of University and be starting an internship for my 3rd studies. This will mean I won’t be going in to Uni for lectures for about 16-18 months until I start back on my 4th year in September 2013 to complete my course. I am looking forward to the experience the year out will give me and opportunities it could well bring about, both in a professional job based capacity and also for my own personal learning and understanding of the business world.

Hey all,

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas yesterday! Hopefully you gave and received some great gifts!

Just thought I’d mention some of the things I’ve received this Christmas

My main gift this year, which I had asked my parents to put some money towards and i’d pay the rest, was a new lens for my Panasonic Lumix G2 m4/3 camera. The stock lens that came with it is a m4/3 14-42mm lens which is perfect for landscapes and portrait shots but I wanted something with a little more zoom capability to add to my camera and allow me to try some new types of photography. I went for the Lumix G Vario 45-200mm (I think its approx. 90-400mm in standard format) which gives me about 12x optical zoom i.e. that you’d get from a fixed lens zoom camera for example. I has already proven very useful as at the 45mm end it is still wide enough to get decent landscape based shots and portrait/head shot type photos. I also have it on good authority (Lumix Life Style members ) that with my Raynox 150 macro adapter, it will enable me to get even better macro shots. This is mainly down to the fact that even at the 200mm end of the lens zoom, it’s minimum focal distance is only 1m! I will try and take some macro shots with it tomorrow morning (I would have done so this morning but due to the rather vast mountain of food consumed Christmas Day, I was still in bed at 11am today! Ha) (more…)

Seasons Greetings,

Appropreiate no? Well I realise the lengthly period that has gone by since my last post… many reasons but I won’t bore you with them all. Primarily down to my University course assignments but thats still not a great excuse. My New Year’s resolution will be to find the time to post at least once a week over the coming year!!

Right so a quick little update on things, I’ve finished my 2nd year 1st semester and been enjoying the time off, catching up with friends and some web design work. Currently working on a project for Art For All, an art gallery run in Chichester, to update their current site and possibly work towards some form of bespoke e-commerce solution with them. (more…)

Hey all,

I know there has been a bit a break since the last blog post but there have been one or two things I wanted to wait for in order to blog about them in the first September blog if that makes sense?

Anyway first off, last week I reached 1,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel - It is currently (at the time of posting this) at 1,013 subs so really pleased! It has taken a long time to get this many considering that I started that channel up on the 27th of April, 2009. So over 2 years on haha… but I can fully understand that due to a lack of videos and time to produce them and unlike so other channels on YouTube, I never expected to have lots and lots of subs, nor did I ever thing it would turn into a way to make a little money! But it has been a great experience so far and I am looking forward to some new content, going up on it soon! (more…)
