That was madness =3

I kicked off the new year with some friends in Central London, watching the new year countdown & fireworks, preserved for posterity on Youtube…

I’ve also taken up photography, a pastime I’m starting afresh after an 8-year hiatus… I’ve grabbed myself a Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd, a good camera if a little on the limited side. Although I’ll manage :p Specs as follows:

• Fixed Fujinon 12x zoom lens, with normal (DOF=66mm-iinfinity) macro (DOF=20-66mm) & supermacro (DOF=1-20mm) modes
• Aperture: f/2.8 – f/5.8 (… see what I mean by limited? T_T)
• Shutter: 1/1000 – 80/10 (… a little better, but you’re screwed for night sky photography)

I’ll be uploading pics to my [edit: screw deviantart, Flickr ownz it for photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cmn_ownz_j00/]

The best of which I’ll be posting on here and I’ll also be doing tutes on Youtube for certain techniques, such as HDRI, depth of field, and suchlike.
