    Dafont Not sure about the wing one though beat me to it haha
  6. I've just heard that too I feared that as well, if top gear ends, so does my (tv) life NOOOOOOO get better hamster
  7. Your best photos to date I reckon! The saturation is awsome! Well timed and the sky/flash balence in the night ones is sweet! Good effort
  8. Just done 2 years of college, 11 years of education, it's time for a gap year! Ideally I wanted a full time job to keep the pennies flowing in and stop me being a lazy kont. Ideally I'm starting full time in a local camera shop in two weeks time, can't wait
  9. Nice one, not as good as u say but then again we all have our bad days! The ones of bessel are cool O and nice sensor spots
  10. Well said Anzo, who DOSEN'T have a de-restricted ped! There slow as sh*t anyway, let alone still restricted. I don't think I have spoken to anyone who has a restricted ped. My parents told me to de-restrict my 50 because it was dangerous not being able to keep up with the traffic, like you said, not many people stick to 30mph. I certinatley don't. It's also pretty funny how half the people saying 'you tit' and such like don't even ride a bike on the road. It's also very hard to wear decent bike clothing in this weather anyway, I normally try and wear my jacket and jeans which is fine. Trackies are a really no go, jeans atleast I think as they are harder wearing and look much better anyway, trackies just add to the whole gay 'moped' stereotype Hope it's all sorted soon
  11. How did it happen? Bad luck, falling off bikes suck ass and it always happens when you least expect it, unless your blatently riding like a toss rag.
  12. Cool vid mate! Not sure on the music, I normally like your cheesy music theme but those two wern't cheesy/good enough IMO. The editing and riding was top though
  13. Out the howies catalogue Quite like it For anyone who hasn't ordered the howies catalogue do it now, free and it's full of really nice clothes and stuffed with photos +writing! Although it's too rich for my blood.
  14. Well come onnnnn guys I didn't mean a Fuji exactly! I meant one like it, the equivalent, whatever trev. I just had a fantastic experience with mine, some of my favourite photos were taken with it. The image quality is reem on it, photos just come out like you want them too (sounds crazy but you know what I mean) I also didn't realise by the time I wrote my essay 2 other people had posted a fair amount too
  15. A level photography has been the only 2 years of education I have REALLY enjoyed! For the first year I wasn't really that bothered as I didn't take much interest in it as I do now, taking pictures using the colleges (crappy) digital camera was good fun, also learning to use photoshop along the way. I started off by using the colleges camera, which is a olympus digital zoom thing, it's alright but obviously having your own camera has a huge advantage. After one year had passed I got a Fuji S5500 for my birthday which was awsome! Could then not have to worry about signing in and out the colleges cameras which you could only take home for a certain time. I wouldn't say a DSLR would be the best thing to get, it's going to cost you a lot of money and unless you know how to use it properly your certinately not going to get the best pics. Especially if you don't already really 'do' photography as a hobby already, it's like trials, start from the bottom and work up. As for Photoshop, my teacher was a PS god!!! So I learnt a lot through him, he was also the coolest guy on earth which made lessons a doss. In lessons we never really did much 'teaching' if you like, we were just set projects to get on with, we would all sit at a mac and do any cutting/sticking on the tables in the middle. Most of the time we just surfed the net, went on msn or researched. A LOT of the project is research! That used to get to everyone, it wasn't so much about your photos (well it was) but it was more about how much research you did, how famous they were, how you based your own styles and ideas around theirs. Then photoshop did play a big part in what you did, in class or at home I was always editing the photos I had taken then sticking them in my book. You also get bonus points for showing how you edited them, like do a screen print (command + 4 on a mac) of each stage. Also you get bonus points for writing quick paragraphs about the photos you've researched, write about composition, colour, depth of field etc etc. It may work completely different at your college but thats the way it was at mine anyway, sorry i ranted a bit there My projects in order: First year 1. mini introduction project was "your journey to college" 2. Myself (hobbies, friends, activitys etc) 3. Illustrating text (pick a piece of writing, song and illustrate the words/lyrics with photos) 4. Exam: Rural and urban environments (show the contrast between) I did transport Second year 5. Food (I did people buying food, went to markets, butchers etc) 6. Landscape 7. Exam: Everyday life For the last exam, as an example I did different everyday activities and represented them in not so obvious forms, simple things like singing, for that I did a local bands lead singer screaming down the mic at a local gig. Drinking I did a hobo downing a bottle of cider. Cycling, so I did trials, ermm smiling I did a portrait of my cousin eating an ice cream. You get the idea So basically thats what to look out for, it'll be a big big help if you find it interesting and want to develop your ideas and technique rather than having to. The first exam you get 4 weeks prep then a 5 hour exam where it's basically the same as a lesson, editing and putting together final pieces. Second exam is the same but 15 hours over 3 days. Don't buy a digi slr just for college, you'll do perfectly fine with a good digital such as a Fuji. For the first year I got a C as I wasn't that into it, then in the second year I realized I wanted to do well in it so worked my dick off and got an A overall, sorted. Good luck and if you need any more Qs answering don't hesitate to ask.

    R.i.p Steve Irwin

    Yeah definatley, I agree with what everyone has said. His work was fantastic and dying while doing what he did best is a good way to go, if you get me. It would be un-fortunate if he died in say, a car crash. He'll be rememberd more this way, a hero to us all R.I.P
  19. The clash The academy is.. Kooks Arctic monkeys 3 Doors down Maximo park System of a down Imogen heap Frou frou Papa roach Green day Pod Prodigy Queen Rage against the machine Razorlight Red hot chillis The zutons Hot chip the list goes on. Surely you know what bands/music types you like, by the time 10 people have posted here your going to have A LOT of downloading to do, which will probably mostly be crap anyway.
  20. Yeah that was VERY cool! I'd love to do that, seemed cheap as well for what you get! Good effort, the music was cool too
  21. lol always that option!^ You asked her out 1 day after she split with her ex? Bad move right there homie. She was a fool for saying yes in the first place, re-bound to the max!
  22. Quite boring, as good as the park are. [attachmentid=6832] I'll change it now
