You don’t know if its a pun or a spelling error
Todays the day! GCSE results! These dozen numbers will effect how I go on with education from now! Oh God, well, there’s nothing I can do. Just gotta get to school and receive results with my buddies.
Will post again soon…
[Update] And here are the results.
3x B
6x C
1x E (Spanish)
Woo and Yay! Thats more than the 5x C grades I need to get into College! I am chuffed.
I’ve had my Nikon D40 for around 5 months now, and its fantastic! Great prosumer digital SLR, with a ton of features, but not hard to learn and use. Anyway, the lens that came with my D40 is 18-50mm. Its a good lens if your standing 2 to 3 meters away from your subject, but sometimes you need to get closer. For example, at the zoo, a better lens allows me to take good photos of my subject between bars and far away.
So I went onto Amazon and started “googling” round, (I know its the wrong term, but hey) and found a few good lenses. Up came the Nikon AF 70-300mm lens for £70. Perfect. Placed and order and in it came a copel of days later.
Unfortunetly I forgot to read the small print. The AF feature of the lens does not work with the D40 (my camera). Bugger! It seems the lens was made a few years before the D40 so there is no new AF connection. Oh well, Manual Focus works fantastically thought. Its taking some time to get used to, but I’m getting used to it.
The basic length of the lens is long, and it gets even longer when fully expanded (Insert penis joke here). Its 20cm fully, and 25cm with the lens hood (which is included).
Some people complain about the build qualitiy of the lens. Personally, I’m not a photographic snob. It doesn’t feel like sand paper, so I’m quite happy with it. Its rubber, not plastic, grips feel fine on my hands. I can hold it tightly and adjust the focus easily with no pain at all.
Over the lens is great. Its a bit of a bummer that AF don’t work with my D40. But hey, I’ll get used to it for long shots.
With a couple of beer and a couple of buddies, I got to see the ultimate bloggers film, Snakes on a Plane.
What a film. Crap CGI, with a even worse story line. I admit that with a few beers and (mother fucking) Pizza on a (mother fucking) tray, it is quite entertaining.
Heres a few hints about the film.
The ending though, makes no sense. They get off the plane, after a crash landing and everyone gets social (some more than others). The main plot of the story, the reason there are snakes on this plane, is not finished. The gangster who ordered these snakes does not get caught. He’s taken into the station, but no charges are placed. Orly? Not the order of the murders of multiple men, women and children? This just leaves a huge plot hole.
Just my 2 cents.
Tomorrow I’m going paint-balling at a mates 16th. My brother and I are talking about tactics.
“Why don’t you hide?”
“What, you mean behind a tree or bush?”
“No, what about if you burry yourself!”
“I’m sorry?”
“If you burry yourself, then you can wait till the fights over. Then, when there like two people left, you can get out and shoot them. Then you can win.”
“Oh yeah, that makes sense. I think I remember Rambo did that once.”
