View Full Version : the compulsory - what you doing at the weekend thread ?
So, it's Friday, TGIF. Been a chaotic week.. but a good one.
So, whats everyone doing then ?
I'll start, want to go back to Southerndown again, time permitting to take some nice coastal landscape shots, hopefully with some new ND grads that I can pick up tomorrow from the PO ;)
I guess it kind of depends of the weather, but I hope it's blowing a gale, so I get some nice shots.
I know not everyones cup of tea, but it's a big football weekend !!
Oh and I'm sure a few beers tonight !
Thank heavens there is no cricket to endure :)
Whatever you do, have a great one.
Cheers,
Neil :thumbs:

Nightmare Mini - Days off in the week ?
Sat, quick visit to my mams, watch a naff movie based on the famous Studio 54, for research purposes.
Sun, could spend the day decorating the hall but if Im going to try & do the 'pic every 5 mins' thing, it might be a bit messy. If weather is decent (who am I kidding) head out to the countryside and see what I can snap!

Nightmare Mini - Days off in the week ?
I have Thursday off - but I really need to go to the college library and research some stuff for my course as I'm starting to fall behind. Looks like it could be an all day job in the library too as I have to research famous landscape photographers and find inspiration (haha) for my landscape shoot. I then have to sort out a coursework diary which will take up the rest of the day, followed by college in the evening :(
Hopefully it will be lovely next weekend, then I can spend the full weekend with my camera.

Amen to that :) Look no further than Ansel :)
Going out for dinner tongiht - we might as well as we still don't have a working oven/hob. (It's a long story!) Tomorrow it's into town in the monring for the monthly farmers market, and then hopefully a trip to Cameraworld at Chelmsford in the afternoon to see if they've got a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 in stock.
If the weather is good I've told Ben that Sunday is camera-day! :D

Not sure yet, but likely early Sunday morning again Sir, drop me a PM if you fancy a lift again, not confirmed yet, but possible.

I got my 350D (courtesy of a certain someone on TP!) last night so I'll be playing with it! Yay! I've taken a few shots of Moley and am already in love with it (over my point and shoot anyway lol) :D
Also trying to stay awake through all 6 series of Men Behaving Badly - I don't know what it is about me but I can't watch a DVD now without falling asleep :thinking:
Going to Shrewsbury Tomorrow. Hope weather improves as I am dying to play with my new 5D and 24-105mm L IS.
On the downside, My new PC my Bruv built got spiked and surged with the recent weather chaos, resulting in having to have a new power supply, new Motherboard and modem. My fault really for having it on in the bad storms. :bang: :thumbsdown:

Just off to Heathrow to pick up Suzanne's aunt who's flown in from Montreal (her arms will be aching!)
Then its a family re-union Sunday lunch tomorrow - not a lot of photo opportunities - maybe some family shots!!!
In between that lot is Sainsburys and maybe even Lakeside -arrrrrgh
Spent Friday afternoon and probably all day Saturday laying a laminate floor in the kitchen. Its the type that looks like 4 floor tiles in a strip.
Never never never decide to lay it in a diamond pattern , it looks good but it's a pain in the **** at every corner / pipe / doorway :nono:
Lots of beer does help (but only afterwards)

Weathers terrible here, rain and gales and cloud:(, holding out for tomorrow - but not very optimistic :shrug:
Well DIY and football - Not so bad, just finished painting kitchen, now off to the pub !!
Just spent two days putting the new floor in the kitchen...
Mr G to Mrs G "what do you think of the floor ??
Mrs G "hmmm , will have to see what it looks like with the new skirting & plinths" (another solid days worth of work )
nothing like a bit of support :bang: :shrug:

Rofl! That sounds like me a few days ago .... and I got em!
Tomorrow is new curtains :lol:
CameraWorld didn't have my lens in stock. :'( Apparently it's "A bit of an odd length for digital" so they don't sell many of them. Eh? I thought half the members on here had one so it can't be THAT odd! Anyway it's ordered, being sent on to me at work, should be there tuesday.
Jessops are a bunch of rogues. In spite of still advertising in various places that they are price matching, and some stores still doing the price match to cameras-2-u etc, the store in Chelmsford refused point blank and wanted £349 for it. Oh well, it gave the chap in CameraWorld a giggle, anyway!
On the way to Chelmsford we drove through the lanes and discovered LOADS of places to go back to with a camera - so that's one day in an upcoming weekend sorted out! :D
Mum and Dad's for lunch today - shall I go and try some squirrel shots this morning do you reckon?
Oh well, didnt get to Southerndown.... DIY and pub all weekend. Now about to run it off for an hour with a game of 5 aside football. Back Later :)
