Reason to wait for a white iPhone

crazybobbles — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:21:53 +0000

You can practically hump this bad boy. Saw a video of the green bumper on a black iPhone, made me shriek a bit. Plus it will fun watching folks complain about the antenna and yellow blotch issues ^_^

Thats right, instead of socialising like normal people do us apple crazed geek muser fanzoids enjoyed a casual game of scrabble with the ipad. We managed to get 3 iphones going. I won both games Who would have thought “Zex” was a word, and to land on a triple word tile

Perpetual Beta New Site Launchums

crazybobbles — Sat, 15 May 2010 11:56:48 +0000

Right so here it is, the new site! I’ve been spending most of my mornings and afternoons coding this bad boy from scratch. Been playing around with jquery to try on some fancy stuff and overall it works pretty well The best bit is when you click on the exclamation mark! So yeah, as you can see, images are nice and large so you can enjoy the photos more! Being a site quite focused on photography it kinda makes sense to have large images. So yeah, enjoy some large unadultered images to further explain why the site redesign was needed

If you are viewing this through facebook or an RSS reader.. sorry.. but you do get the large images

Looks like there’s going to be a new theme!

crazybobbles — Fri, 14 May 2010 02:41:58 +0000

Here’s a little sneak preview of what the new site is going to look like. I’ve been spending most of the day trying to tweak the blog into something more tasteful, vibrant and most importantly, incorporating larger images for my photos. So yeah, this is kinda what I was looking for, for those who happen to be browsing the blog tonight may or maynot have actually seen the theme in action (was the easiest way to show friends and folks) but otherwise we’re still using the old one.

The theme was built from scratch and should work on previous posts, older posts will have some pixellated photos but meh! But yeah, let me know what you think.

I feel like redesigning my blog

crazybobbles — Thu, 13 May 2010 17:57:54 +0000

Going to build this badboy from scratch again, want a more minimal feel with more photo related scripts and whatnot. I dunno, feel like I should be using more jquery to do something fancy pants! Not to mention do something so that i can show bigger photos, we love big photos!

Oh, reason of posting this… suggestions on what the new blog should look like? things you like and dislike about the design, SPIT IT OUT DAMNIT!

My new Canon 5d Mk II

crazybobbles — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 01:53:29 +0000

Well, this was what I bought, a Canon 5d Mkii. It is, in my opinion, the best digitial DSLR camera out there right now, packing all the best features for a DSLR camera including a meaty 21megalopixel count, amazing noise reduction, hd movie recording, full frame goodness, a decent 3.9 fps burst shot, live view, 3inch lcd screen with 900k pixel LCD and loads more packed in a tiny "compact" form factor. This camera will last me quite a long time and will provide an ungodly amount of flexibility to what I can do (including shoot those damn HD movies).

Anyway, I’m still pumped as ever from it, got loads to learn and hopefully I’ll make good use of it with gigs and whatnot where light is ridiculously low.

I’ve called her “Regina” after the late great (she’s not dead but I like using the phrase) Regina Spektor. I never really gave my other DSLR camera a name but ever since I’ve been naming cameras and laptops, it’d only be fair to give Regina a name.

Full frame is definitely nice, and shooting with crazy iso ratings is fun, the noise is hardly noticeable and even if you can see it, it definitely looks nicer than entry level noise. The one issue I have right now is that since the introduction of full frame into my gear, I’m in dire need of a x1.6 50mm focal length. I’ll need an 85mm f1.8 usm to ensure I regain that focal length back because I need to be super close to the band in order to shoot them .

So yeah, say hello to Regina, my new prized DSLR camera Here are some shots taken tonight at a really low light condition, the band were Official Secrets Act

Might want to see them in super big to appreciate the lack of noise

oh and here’s a video of Anika doing a little dance, in hd

Most munny spent

crazybobbles — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:08:34 +0000

Well, I made sure the purchase was going to be nice and impromptu, my mum even warned my that I will be spending quite heavily this year which I can totally see why, I really have no self control when it comes to buying something I really want. Luckily I have saved quite a lot of money from the past so it’s not like I’m in super debt buying this.

Anyway, I’ve informed most of the people close to me about what I’ve bought and pretty much gave it away on my twitter feed if you’re following me on that so yeah. I finally bit the bullet of truth and purchased it, felt ever so anti climatic when I did it but I know it’s going to be the toughest two days ever waiting for the product to arrive in my warm welcoming hands.

I changed the tooltip using firebug by adding a nice “title” attribute to the link in case you were wondering if the checkout page actually had that when you hovered on the checkout button.

I’m expecting delivery either on Tuesday, if not I’ll just cry (because I’m getting it delivered to work and I will be on holiday on Thursday and Friday).

But yeah, I wanted to savour this one moment where I spent an ungodly amount of munny! It somehow didn’t pick up the £50 voucher I used so I’m a bit worried there

Apple Mac Pro vs Canon 5d mk ii

crazybobbles — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:49:03 +0000

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

It’s like sophie’s choice but for geeks. After purchasing emmeee, I’ve had my mind set on buying some extravagant instead of focusing on the ickle things, so I’m stuck with 2 objects of desire, an Apple Mac Pro 2.26ghz 8 core desktop computer or a Canon 5d mk ii Full Frame DSLR camera. If you know neither of these products you might as well stop reading now.

Both have their advantages; the Mac Pro will get me into the world of Apple and play around with resource hungry apps like Photoshop and Lightroom with lickerty lightning speed whilst the Canon 5d Mkii will help me substancially for low light gig photography with it’s awesome lack of noise at high iso’s and its full frame architecture, my second reason also being it being able to record in HD.

The funny thing is that Mac Pro will help me out most when I actually have the Canon 5d since I would be shooting in crazy 21 megapixel resolutions in RAW meaning it would sure help to have a beef PC handling those images. I would also be able to start doing some proper music with pro tools and whatnot since I have all the gear I need, just not much time to play around with it.

Man so much geekiness in this post. Photography or Geekery? The question is obviously which one i need out of the two, the answer being neither because I already have a desktop PC and a DSLR camera, it’s just nice to have some proper high end gear to make things a little bit awesome, so uhm… yeah.. here’s a poll (really need to use this option more)
