Wednesday 7th December.

So this is the national portrait gallery
 I went on a photography trip to London's National portrait gallery and the Tate Mordern. It was quite a fun trip walking around and sitting in Trafalgar square and not seeing the massive pillar with Nelson on it.... 
The coach journey was alright, a couple of hours to the capital, but there were a few annoying girls at the back. Y'know the childish loud ones that sing and talk unnecessarily loud. My classmates said they wanted to kill, them and unfortunately they didn't (only kidding i would never wish anyone dead, just for them to shut their traps.) I found it quite enjoyable to be a tourist for the day, it's all very exciting! With my college friends we were very amused by pigeons, because pigeons can be a great laugh. A lot of us very nearly got run over by angry taxi drivers bad men grrrr. Whilst walking to the Tate we went past St.Pauls cathedral which really doesn't look like it's supposed to be there....and there were a load of tents about Capitalism and it was quite eerie because the tents were empty, almost like they had died. Here are some photies i took around the capital. Enjoy!

Why i haven't written a post..

I've wanted to write on here recently but i had a 'moment'...i forgot my password for Blogspot. I managed to scramble through my passwords for everything and get the right one! Oh dear i don't know what to do with myself!

So, i have been writing a short story (1,000 words) for a local newspaper The News for their Christmas competition which had to be a ghost story with a christmas theme, i finished it yesterday and sent it off my email. I'm not sure whether it was good or not as i think i needed more than a 1,000 words :s so i had a bit of a sudden ending, ahwell was worth a shot to see if they like it. There are two categories, 15 and under and 16 and over, the winners from the two categories get 50 quid to spend in Waterstones :D and the runners up 25 pounds! Not bad eh? I think just getting it published in the paper is enough of a price so the book money is a massive BONUS!!

Wish me luck!

My week.

Right, so one reason that i havn't had a chance to blog very much is the fact that college got quite stressful with the amounts of work given, and was struggling. Most of my homework was being completed the night before of even on the same day!
So something had to be done. I wasn't sleeping properly and was getting majorly stressed out. So my idea was to drop psychology, as my reasons are;
1-it's new to me so have to revise extra hard for exams
2-I'm not considering it as a career even though  find it so interesting
3-having 3 a levels will be much more liveable for other work and some me time too.
Now you know a little segment of my week, the rest was fun and games (not really but had had some good laughs along the way.)

I'm off now so i'll depart with something interesting...i have a craving to stroke people's hair all the time.

My new phone.

On tuesday 24th november my phone contract was renewed and i have a new mobular device. I have now got a squeaky clean Samsung Galaxy Ace, i love android phones. It's amazing having a scratch free phone now! But i still have the plastic cover on the screen to protect it until i get a protective case for it! Wish me luck with not dropping it because that's me, clumsy and accident-prone!

Man i do love these moments *sighs*

This was during our first ever practical.
The belly button, the evil grin makes this one of the best photo's ever.

Another fun lesson in Photography doing Multiple Exposures


Here this is my Egyptian/Indian wolf
(the wolf bit is the ears, it's from a Prodigy song and i made it up so i have Copyrights.)

We created these photies by having a black screen (as you can see above) and had three flash lights with people manning them, and a photographer/director or we the models were the directors with out ideas. So i started with my arms by my side and, Ollie (the photographer) held open the shutter and the first flash went off then i moved, with my arms out like the indian god, then the second flash and my final master piece...THE WOLF. If some of you are educated in the art of the Prodigy, and you should be, there's a song called 'run with the wolves' and whenever they sing that line i do this legendary move, oh and my leg is usually bent to the side but i had to stay incredibly still! The final flash and Ollie removes his finger from the shutter and here you have it!

And this is my colourful class, arn't we beautiful?
