Two gems for photography

I have more gems, but will stick with two that I love at the moment…Hue and wifiHue lights: Fancy LED lights you can control with a phone or tablet. Mega useful for setting moods (have a setting called strip club) and not having to set white balance (changed lights to a blue setting on the photo so no need to auto white balance)

Eyefi: Another useful product, with camera phones being ever so convenient to snap a shot, you’ll wonder why you still lug a DSLR and upload that shit into Lightroom, export, upload etc. With an EyeFi card, I just take the photo and BAM, beam straight into my PC. Then I just drag for instant use :) Have to use a CF SD card adaptor but that’s fine.

So yeah, pick up a bag today

Game acquisition syndrome

Game acquisition syndrome

I’m addicted :( the thing I hate myself for is the fact that I can probably spend the entire year playing games solid with the games I own, unfortunately completing or fully juicing the game has been sparse as I tend to look for the next game deal and get the joy from purchasing and less on playing the game itself.

I’ve now put myself in a game purchasing ban until I complete a giant list of games which includes the following:

  • Skyrim (PC)
  • Jelly defense (iOS)
  • Gravity Rush (PS Vita)
  • Super Mario Bros. Wii U (Wii U)
  • Mark of the Ninja (PC)
  • Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
  • Final Fantasy: Dissidia (PSP)
  • Boktai 2 (GBA)
  • Kingdom Hearts (3DS)
  • Kid Icarus (3DS)
  • Dishonored (PC)
  • Castlevania: Lord of Shadow (PS3)

I just completed Super Mario 3D Land so things are shaping up on the finishing aspect.

PS Vita

PS Vita

So last week I bought myself a PS Vita. I’ve always had it in mind to get one but was always holding out for a white one. Decided in the end that a black one made more sense in terms of the bezel not stealing too much attention from the screen.

Anyway, so far I’m loving it. Got me a Playstation Plus so I’m rocking free games for a mere £30. Quite like the whole cross buy and save concepts and I wish Nintendo would get on it soon enough.

The console is fairly souped up, the titles on it although initially lacking is beginning to grow and with a back catalogue of PSP and PS1 games, it’s a no brainer to invest in one.

PS Vita, pick up a back today

The Hobbit and steak

For the past few years I’ve been celebrating my birthday with my closest friends, this year will be the same.

First up was a nice trip to Odeon to watch the hobbit. Really like the high frame rate, film was good too. Next was steak at Gaucho.

Tasty tasty steak
I had a really tasty spiral cut ribeye. Lots of flavour and awesomeness.

We then had desserts at Candy Cafe where I frequent for bubble tea or my “signature dish” which includes tapioca pearls, grass jelly and strawberries. Since it was my birthday I included a scoop of matcha ice cream.
The signature dessert
Tasty cakes.

So stuff that happened in 2012

Guitar that goes weel weel weel boooo

Year 2012 is the gear of guitars. Within that period I managed to pick up a tasty Manson MB-1 guitar, order my own custom guitar (still getting built) and a 7 string guitar that I’m modding to be all sparkly and black.

Sadly no holidays. Not even a fancy work trip :( furthest I’ve travelled this year is Cardiff… Or Exeter.

Haven’t done much camera wielding as I have in previous years. Just been picky. I did fulfil one of my life long goals of taking photos of Muse in the photo pit and being featured on the Flickr blog. Those were some good times.

Going to redesign this blog… Things need to be easier for me to blog…

Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates…

Ukraine: Chernobyl and the raging geiger cat

Chernobyl: Ferris wheel
After 3 hours+ of travelling I’m finally here. Borispol/Borisville airport where I will begin my 4 day holiday in Ukraine. This is where I will be:

  • exploring the evacuated city of Chernobyl
  • attending another Muse gig with a bunch of raging muse fans
  • visiting all the famous tourist spots in Kiev

All without getting brutally beaten up, poisoned by radiation or (most likely) sodomised by raging semi prepubescent foreign Muse fans. Should be fine I guess…
