Recently I finally finished off the roll of film in Dynax 5. As the batteries had gone flat in it some time ago I had put it to one side and not used it. Due to a flat battery in my digital camera and that I’d finally bought new batteries I ended up finishing the roll of film at a family friends birthday party taking pictures of Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang.
After getting back the photos from the developers I was very surprised to find that I had started the roll of film nearly two years ago at a Christmas Party. There are also photos of a trip to the Spinaker tower. I’ve still got to get round to scanning and uploading some of these photos to put on Facebook but I think it will provide quite a surprise to my friends.
Rather than doing another Open University course next year I’ve decided taht I will try and improve my photographic skills and have signed up for the Amateur Photographer’s Foundation in Photography. I’m hoping a more structured approach will encouage me to do more with my cameras rather than them sitting with film sitting inside them for years. My upcoming trip to Australia, Malaysia and Cambodia should provide some varied material for this course.
In time I should post some new pictures that I have will have submitted as course work.
Another month spent doing nights and I’ve managed to shift another 5 lbs getting down to 10 stone 9 lbs. Somewhere along the line I hit a plateau and the weight wouldn’t come off. Probably to do with the physical activity dropping off for a bit. Once it picked up though the weight started to come off again.
At 10 stone 9 lbs I’m now down to a 32 1/4″ waist and a 14 1/2″ collar. Considering I started off at somewhere in the region of a 34″ waist and a 16″ collar I am pretty pleased. It all remains to be seen whether I can continue to keep the weight of f or will it all go straight back on again when I go off on holiday next week for four weeks with no regular trips to the gym. I’m planning on doing quite a bit of outdoors stuff so if I am lucky I’ll even manage to lose some weight.
Just another WordPress weblog but it's mine.
