Photography, random posts and very little about kebabs.
……..no handbook from my employers. Still waiting for the ability to access a HR related website. We need a keyfob which costs a vast £13. Apparently this is to much of a cost for ‘bean counter’ to actually get off his arse and order. So I have to ask my manager to arrange payment for something which I should’ve had 6 months ago.
Oh the joys of working for a major outsourcing company. Indeed the word I’m looking for is cunts.
Yes, it’s that time again when my body and me decide to take a different path for fitness. I’ve been enjoying yoga for a couple of months now, but decided I needed that big push to shift the flab.
So today I join a gym, nothing too fancy. A local council gym. Facilities are fine and the equipment works. Enjoyed the circuit around the gym tonight. However the body is fighting back. I’ve had the sniffles for the last day, maybe the cold will resurface after a 2 week break. We’ll see.
I’m going again Wednesday, so hopefully it’ll shift.
Just like a bus, one flash turns up and so does another. Well not quite, but after shifting some stuff on ebay I bought a second flash unit (430EX) and the ST-E2 Remote Trigger. The source this time was Digital-Rev in Hong Kong. I had some money in PayPal which they accept. The price difference between Kerso and DR wasn’t so great this time. So HK won this time. No issues with import duty as they paid the duty charge up front. So all I had to do is order and wait for delivery. It only took 4 days!
Anyway, after five days of playing I’m happy with the results so far. It’s not the first off camera flash setup I’ve had. My old film Eos had one. Sadly this wasn’t compatible (well the TTL part) with the E-TTL system on Eos Digital. Still time moves on and things get updated, so it’s kinda expected.
The first test is with the 580ex mkII on the floor and the 430ex on my desk just under face height. I like the way the shadow is cast on my nose but the uplight is catching part of my face.
So today I reached a conclusion about my life, I’m shite at football. Also I’m quite overweight and unfit. So hopefully in the morning (legs permitting) I might go for a jog. I need also to cut down on the shite I eat.
Anyway, good laugh playing today. We managed to keep our score at Nil. Blues old boys scored 15. Still it’s all for charity, which I need to get people to stump up for. Enjoy the pics, include the fat bloke one at the end.
I’ve been playing round with a few of the templates to create the new black look. I like, please comment if you think it’s shit.
May piss about with more of the templates and borders soon.
