This past Wednesday we went on our yearly pilgrimage to the Great Yorkshire Show. One of my favourite parts is the flower show, I don’t usually buy anything but this time I bought some cactus seeds, can’t wait to start growing them!
I took this photo for one reason, and one reason only. Hurhurhurhurhur.
I finally sucked it up and bought a 50mm f1.4, I had initially decided against it and just replaced my broken f1.8 thinking that I couldn’t really justify the extra spend on the f1.4. However, I found out that jessops were offering 6 months interest free! Perfect! Here are the first photos I’ve taken with it, including some from the treasure-trove that is the Huddersfield Open Market on a Tuesday.
Love, love, love my new lens!
I’m finally getting around to sorting through and processing the photos I took when we were in Florida, it’s a mammoth task!! The first theme park we hit was Universal Studios, an old favourite with a few changes. It really didn’t take us long to make our way around it though, we got there first thing and ended up heading to Islands of Adventure for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Without further ado, and with barely any descriptions…
(these were some of the best fries I’ve ever had, amazing!)
(Playing with a ‘vintage’ action that I just created in photoshop, thought it was quite fitting with the diner jukebox!)
As sad as I was that back to the future has gone, I have to say the new Simpsons ride was really good! The building looks totally different, and the inside has been re-branded so well!
I believe I’d just seen that the Starbucks wasn’t open yet, so a frappuccino fix wasn’t gonna happen any time soon…
Next up Islands of Adventure, and an entire post dedicated to Wizarding World!
Last night I decided to paint my nails all the colours of the rainbow, or there abouts. The varnishes shown above are all barry M except the pink on the thumb which is a Nails Inc. I’m getting into wearing varnish again now that it’s summer, my nails aren’t as brittle as they used to be either so I don’t feel like I’m doing them bad by wearing it. I’ve been making sure to use a good base coat, though.
This morning, after dropping Adam off at the train station for his conference trip, I was tidying up our desks and opened one of the drawers.. Unfortunately my camera’s strap got caught with the drawer and it pulled it off the desk. It wasn’t a massive drop, less than 2 feet I’d say, and it landed on carpet but this is what it did to my nifty fifty lens…
Disaster! I had been considering upgrading to the f/1.4 for a while, so I guess that decision has been made for me…! Hope you’re all enjoying this sunny Sunday, I’m inside doing several random chores.. booo!
