Yeah, I'm still around, just been a bit busy with college I suppose. BUT I went out today and look a load of photos with my newly acquired UV and Polarising Filter. Quite impressive. Try to upload them tomorrow... Maybe. I'll have to do my work first though... Or not.

Anyway........... 2 and a half days left of college till half term. This excites me greatly. I'm in a desperate need of a proper lie in and to catch up on all my work. Need to seriously revise some English for my re take, and begin to think about actually doing some French if I want to pass it.

Everything else is all good, though.

- Well, I was home a while ago... Two weeks yesterday actually. I'm still no where near finished editing my photos that I took. I may have just about 1500 photos which probably explains that. But it's not as much as I had last year. This year though - they are much better. I hope/think/know.

I've just found the Curves tool in photoshop and I love it. I'm not actually properly editing the photos rather than just auto colour/contrast/levels because I'm a little lazy. But it's much better now I can control it more.

Anyway, I've been trying to get the hang on HDR photography. However, I'm not having much success - probably because I don't have an SLR. It might also be because I'm not really taking photos that need HDR? That could be why. Anyway...

I'm about to go on a spree of editing photos from Rome. I don't have many at Rome which is a shame because it's an amazing place. I wanted to go and see the Roman Forum and the Pantheon but didn't have enough time and it was too hot. The Colosseum was pretty good though.

BYE

EDIT: Just managed to get a few more photos ready to upload, do that tomorrow though...

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

1. Well I'm actually secretly an awesome person, but I hide that part of me because then other people would feel really really bad with themselves.
2. I hate animating. Yes. I do. But I'd still love to be a compositor. That's so much more fun than collage animation.
3. I like coffee. Especially Starbucks.
4. I share the same frees as Chloe, who's also in my French speaking thing which would have been the only time we wouldn't be together on a free if we weren't... That makes sense...
5. Finished my English coursework, I'm about 100 words under on one of them, and 100 words over on the other. Damn.
6. Boris is my bestest friend ever. Uhhh... No. I swear if he comes into Moving Image and shouts "I've done all my animation edited and all" I will shoot to kill him. If his is better than mine I will do the same.
7. I love to procrastinate. Hence I'm here...
8. I don't know how to add icons to my journal, hence I won't be tagging anyone in particular. Instead, consider yourself tagged if you read this Love you too...

Sooo, 2009. Yeah. It's going to be a good year I think...

Things I'm going to do this year: Learn how to drive and get a job. And maybe get some AS Levels at the same time...

That's about it, I need to get on and finish some of my work instead of half finishing everything, I need to COMPLETE something. So that's what I'm going to do
