Drinking Images Compiled & Ordered

Didn’t get up until about 10.00am as we’d not got in from last night until about 2.00am, Tash was going out with her family to Milton Keynes so got sorted and was off. Charlotte and I sat at the dining room table, her working and me working on the drinking photos I have been taking all year round. I spent ages on them, the hardest thing was trying to get the best offer for printing them at a reasonable price and the size I wanted and the text I wanted in the polaroid footer of the image.

I settles for something in the end and proceeded to import the photos and then add the captions – it was really enjoyable, I can’t believe we did so much this last year. I had certainly done the right thing with the naming convention of the photos as I’d created and then saved them. I loved setting it up – so I worked through it all and it’s now ordered so hopefully get those in a few days time, probably the same time as the photobook!

Now I need to find a frame for them – that’s going to be just as hard to get sorted I suspect.

I feel I want another challenge now as my list of 50 Things is slowly being whittled away.

I pottered around in the afternoon and took the dogs for a walk and got a fire up and running and made dinner – we had chicken korma – not as nice as last night’s but it was good though. Mum came home and we didn’t do too much really, dinner with Tash, Charlotte, Jack and Miles and then Jack took C&M out to meet friends and we sat in watching TV or sorting things out for Xmas shopping etc.

Caught up on a couple of episodes of the dramas we’re working through but a nice chilled and relaxed evening

New Tough Camera

Have spent nearly all last weekend researching a new camera and it finally arrived today so I’ve been having a play to see what it’s like. I really wanted a tiny one with powerful zoom lens, but I wanted it to be a tough and water proof camera and these therefore aren’t as small as they could be. So I went for a tough camera instead and I’m actually quite pleased that it’s not as big as I feared it would be.

I tested it in the pond which was odd to do and it was fine, the fish stayed away so I didn’t get a decent image of them but outside of the water the quality of the pictures appears to be excellent and I am pleased with what I have bought.

It has some features like super slo-mo video which is a bit of fun and Charlotte/Tash have played with that already!

Hopefully it will continue to please me as a purchase, we will see how it is after proper use in the water and skiing and being dropped!
