Wow it’s 2008 already! Seems like I’ve neglected updating this blog for a while :P, well this should make up for all the missed posts!

During a revision-sesh (read: a revision session) I noticed what an awesome clear sky ’twas outside. So I decided I’d do a time-lapse gradually getting darker to reveal some stars. Anyway it was already pretty dark by the time I got it all set up, so it ended up being just an ace video of a constellation moving across the sky. Obviously seeing as it was only a 4 second video, I had to add some titles, and an “extra sharp” version of the video where the stars are more visible.

(more…)

Sixth-formage is ok. You would’ve thought it’d be awesome having loads of free lessons, but in reality it’s quite boring…

I’m studying four subjects: Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Art.

Art’s going pretty well and after doing several self-portraits I’m currently drawing this lithograph by M.C. Escher, called “Reptiles”, where a reptilian creature seems to crawl out of a book. It’s a pretty complex piece to draw, but I think I’m slowly getting there!

Anyway all posts REQUIRE a picture, so here’s a random sunset on the campsite we stayed on, in Pembrokeshire:

SNOW= No school! …Again! I’ve not been feeling well enough (had a fever) to go to school over the past few days (I’m better now! :D), so this is just another day of no school!

On to the good stuff, I’ve taken some photos of the snow that’s fallen so far (not much - as you will see…):

I went to Newborough beach today, and just decided to take a few snapshots. This view was basically me chasing a wave (unfortunately the camera got a bit wet in the process… if only I had an underwater camera case!!).

Just trying out the “Blog This” feature on Flickr… This a pretty cool photo that I took back in 2005 (well I think it was me that took it, I’m not really sure!!). A bit annoying that someone’s head was in the way. You can visit my Flickr photos page by clicking here.
