Cap Yo Ass

Nikon D200 50mm 1/250 sec f/8 ISO 100

I'm notorious for losing lens caps, I usually buy the genuine nikon ones, which while not entirely expensive don't have the most secure fit and regularly pop out. Fellow photographer Ryan Brenizer reccomended using Tamron brand lens …

Yesterday I headed out to Yokohama with some fellow photographer's for a bit of a social gathering. Despite the ridicuously cold weather we had a great time and I was able to get some good pictures. It was great to get out and shoot …

Party For Your Right to...

Nikon D200 200mm f/2.8 1/250s ISO 720

Today I went to Shinjuku to watch, Masaya, a friend of Ollie's fight in the DEEP future kings tournament. It was an entertaining if a little long show with some great fights. The winners of the 4 tournaments are guaranteed places …

Coming out of hibernation

Nikon D200 17mm f/2.8 1/250s ISO200

Ako's friend Kyoe hosted an entertaining evening this week with a outstanding spread of food, a fun time was had by all even if I did lose badly at chess (in my defense I haven't played for years).

I managed to make it back to the …

Happy New Year

Nikon D200 30mm f/2.8 1/160s ISO100

Happy New Year to all my clients, friends and readers, whenever your part of the world rolls over into '08. More pictures from this morning will go up soon, but frankly I want to have a sleep first. I hope 2008 brings you everything …

Jumpin'

Nikon D200 23mm f/4.5 8/10s ISO 100

Sooooo yesterday wasn't the best of days, I managed to kill both of my archive hard drives at once, which means I am spending today restoring what I can from the drives and will have to go and restore the rest from DVD.

I also …

Me, a microsoft engineer

and a sizable lump of something hard....

Today I have spent most of the day wrestling with intenet explorer trying to make things which work perfectly in every other browser work with the microsoft monster.

I have also started to move a selection of my past events over …

Wierdo happenings....

and possible downtime, may bound the next few days as we will be switching over to a whole new, improved and faintly competent looking re-design of the site....

All should be well by the end of the week

Blockage

I sometimes develop a mental block towards doing something, this will cuse me to be unable to do it no matter what I try. I currently have such a block towards finishing a blog post and hitting "publish", I currently have at least 5 drafts of entries on a variety of …

To The End

Blur....

All those dirty words

(Jusqu' la fin)

They make us look so dumb

(En plein soleil)

We've been drinking far too much

(Jusqu' la fin)

And neither of us mean what we say

(En plein amour)

Well you and I

Collapsed in love

And it looks like we might have made it

Yes, …

Thursday: Round 3....

Nikon D200 200mm f/3.2 1/320sec ISO400

Nothing really exciting to say about today's triptych as it is pretty much self explainatory....

My workload is getting back under control so I think I shall make a concerted effort to actually train regularly between now and the …

Wishlist Wednesday, the cheat edition...

Via MSN:

Marie said:I request the ugly bird....

The bird in question truly is a curious animal and I can honestly say I had never seen one before last week...

*Update* I have been reliably informed it is a Shoebill Balaeniceps rex and is apparently quite rare...

Monochrome Monday: Illuminated

Nikon D200 38mm f/2.8 1/40s ISO 100

Today I am under the weather so I shall just leave you with a picture so I can get back to my lemsip and napping. I shall pump myself full of stimulants and will survive my afternoon which is super routine...

Sunday Sunset

Nikon D200 10mm f/9 1/15s ISO 100

This week's sunset was taken from atop the Metropolitan Government Buildings in Shinjuku. The MGB are one of Tokyo's best kept tourist secrets as they offer a view on a par with any of the other view spots with one major exception, …

Version Excursion: The Funky Drummer

Nikon D200 35mm f/4 1/6s ISO 100

Today we get to take a look at this image taken at "Unit" in Tokyo where I was going to see Australian DJ group "The Bang Gang". Once again I shall walk you through the processing that happened with this picture...

Iwas pretty happy …

Working like a dog...

Hmm it's Friday, and today was a national holiday, which was nice for most people in Tokyo, but for me it didn't make the blindest bit of difference as I was working. This is ironic as the holidy in question was Kinro kansha no hi or labour thanksgiving day where we are …

"I wish to see some unsual angles of everyday objects. I do love pictures like that."

Well I'm happy to oblige with some items which I use everyday, I'm hoing these angles are unusual enough for you. I really wish I had …

Oooops

Nikon D200 200mm f2.8 1/160s ISO100

I've been busy all day it's late and I have stuff to do, so Wishlist Wednesday is going to get postponed until tomorrow, as none of the requests I had were things I have in the archives....

The upside is you now have an extra day to …

Two for Tuesday: The Singing Edition

Nikon D200 55mm f3.2 1/160s ISO250

Today I bring you two pictures both taken in a very aisan institution, the Kareoke room. Whilst I had sung kareoke before leaving the UK it had always been a very communal activity that took place in bars (most notably at my student …
