Two gems for photography

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

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

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…

Sundays at Paul Bakery

Sunday at Paul

This is how I spent my Sundays, I go visit Paul bakery for some chocolate pain and drink a lovely frappe whilst watching the day go by. Today they ran out of large chocolate pain so I opted for the smaller ones and used the excess money to by me a strawberry tart. The ham baguette was awesome too, anything with ham generally is.

Joanna Newsom at Royal Festival Hall

Joanna Newsom

Joanna Newsom live at Royal Festival Hall. Was so glad I went to both shows, the harp is such a magical instrument, even though it’s a monster to tune (chuckled at the thought of bringing a spare harp). Both nights included a cheerful Q&A session which all involved cheese.

I enjoyed the second night the most since she played Emily and Peach, Plum, Pear. Can’t wait to see her again, hopefully playing more from the 2nd and 3rd CD of her latest triple album whammy crazy album cd type thing. More photos since I’m a man with few words (to quote Bill Compton before he starts glamouring the police officer and taking his gun and stuff)…

She & Him live at Koko

She & Him: Zooey Deschanel

Zoooeeyy! M Waaaard! Whilst everyone else went to ATP to watch she & him play there, I was stuck in London enjoying their first sold out London show. Was quite an awesome set, playing all the best songs of Volume One and Two. There was even an M Ward song thrown in there and a cover of Roll Over Beethoven. The show was showered with screams of “I love you zooey”. Poor M Ward! We love M Ward too :)
