My topman jeans are fading nicely, starting to fade on the top of the legs and the knees too.

Delicious, perfect if you are hungry,

Nick, that location looks fantastic. Tried any landscape photography there? I'd love to visit New Zealand purely because of photographic opportunities one day. Da_Latios - that's some really cool low key photography, I gotta rent myself some strobes and softboxes sometime. What lens did you use for those shots?

Normal school day. After school I got my hair trimmed ( was getting a little scruffy), and I bought two roses from the florists for my girlfriend.

For my GCSE art examination I've chosen to observe the subject of 'everyday life'. Recently I wandered around school photographing things you'd never normally look at twice, observing contrast, perspectives, lighting, shape, texture and in some cases perception of location. Observing lighting in everyday surroundings and how it casts itself over objects. 3 image stitch, stitched together using Autopano Pro Fire exit stairs - looking at leading lines and compositions within everyday environments, and also contrast. Stairs - observing perception (notice the picture shot upside down). Lockers - observing depth of field and perception (notice how the picture was shot upside down). Playground markings - observing perspective within the everyday environment. A boiler door - observing texture within the everyday environment. A skylight - observing shape within the everyday environment. The reason for using black and white for this photography is the fact that we, as human beings see everything in color - everyday environments such as your school seem very natural, and look different when devoid of color. The next part of my project will be more oriented towards architecture - I am taking my inspiration from Marcin Staiwarz. I've also been looking at the work of Ansel Adams (although this is more landscape oriented). What do you think, people of the gallery?

You've got the focus here, but apart from that, the shot is bland.

- Seeing my girlfriend smile and making her happy - The feeling I get before I eat a food I've been craving - Doing good in school - Finishing a downhill run on my longboard, where I can feel the adrenaline coursing through me - Cute texts from my girlfriend - Cute hugs and kisses from my girlfriend - Seeing my girlfriend before school. The list could go on, this is just a few.

My old school used to call them 'forms'. Normal day at school for me, did some stuff for my family after school and did some revision, talked to my girlfriend on MSN, and now feel as though I'm going to pass out.

Take a look at perspective and lines. Look at reflections. It's worth getting out and about, Nottingham is a nice city.

Uni is a bit of a crap place for photos, isn't it? :P Seeing as you live in Nottingham, have you tried photographing any landmarks, like the Royal Theatre? There is some nice architecture in Nottingham, have a look around.

Have you got any houseplants, or anything along those lines? If so, try spraying some water on (with a Lucozade bottle or something), get up close and see what you can do macro wise.

Most writers of tutorials on many sites (for example, Phototuts+) reccommend using a remote trigger for tripod work anyway, it's just a heck of a lot easier than holding your breath for a few seconds. In the mean time, have you tried weighing the tripod down with anything? Weighing it down might dampen/stop the bounce from your dodgy floorboards.

A business got invested in. EVERYONE PANIC. Come on - it happens all the time. Drop the nostalgia of the old days and embrace change.

It just wouldn't have the same vibe.
