Catch up list
Day 1 - 1st September (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=893601&postcount=455)


I would like to thank everyone that has commented on my progress so fare. As this is also another way for me to see my progress in photography

I just need to get my creative hat on now :D

Tony :thumbs:

[Venomator]

The depth of focus in the second is very good ... :thumbs: ... and crisp front to back ... ;)


Must admit these are the first shots of Snettisham I have seen without birds in ... :D





:p

[Techno-Geek]

What, hang on. let me get my breath back.

Dam i am shocked now, i thought i was going to get wronged

They was taken hand held aswell :)

[Venomator]

Not at all ... :suspect: ... although the second is clearly the best of the bunch because it is exposed well, has an interesting composition and as I have said is sharp throughout ... :D ... and if it was hand held then you have done a good job ... :thumbs:


The other two do not have the same impact though imhgo ... :shrug:





:p

[Techno-Geek]

I messed up on the first one big time, my legs was starting to ack from standing up so was shaking abit sort of thing.

My model one turned out good, should i add them to this thread instead of making a new one? Or that could cause confusion

[Tooler]

Nicely done T-G. And always good to see a pub shot!

[Techno-Geek]

Thank you Tooler, they are really nice people in the pub

I might go back in there tomorrow and see if i can get more of the bar and that

Does anyone think i am improving on my photography skills? I think i am anyway

But i want to see if anyone can see if i am by them shots :)

[Tooler]

I am now taking notice of your posts to see how you're getting on. From the last set of shots I saw posted by you, these are certainly an improvement.

Keep it up mate. :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Why thank you mate, that has got to be the best comment i have ever got about my photographs.

:thumbs:

EDIT: Or are you drunk and seeing a blonde there? :D

[mobilevirgin]

I agree with the others, but I sort of quite like no. 1 too. Its a technique I've used before on walls and railings. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. You've not quite got it spot on because of the lamp post.

Photos taken in pubs always look better at the time and then when you look at them the next day, they seem less good. That's the case with the beer mat. Think a bit more about the composition - you've got distractions at the top - the chairs and the other beer mat. A crop may have been better.

Technically they're all fine (except the sky's blown in #3 because you've metered for the black sign, I guess)

Good set, though

[Duckydoodle]

I like these. No 2 is my favourite and I like the creative head you had on taking all these shots. Keep on keeping on Tony :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks mobilevirgin & Duckydoodle :thumbs:

I am going back there now to see if i can do any better seeing that i am up early :D

Is it cold out does anyone know? hehe

Tony :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Will it be alright if i used this as my day to day picture thing?

Like post up the things i take from the day so people can see if i am still progressing?

Thanks

TG

[Venomator]

Well I'm not Admin of course ... :suspect: ... but as a similar thing happens on many posts in the past I really cannot see anyone objecting to this approach TG ... :shrug: ... at least you will have your images in a single place for others to review and comment on your progress ... ;)

I am sure if I am not on the money here others will stick their oar in ... sorry ... put me straight ... ;)

Go for it I say ... :D





:p

[Techno-Geek]

Thank you for the speedy reply Venomator :thumbs:

Right, most go out now while the wheather is nice

Wish me luck :D

Took this aswell

Not best pleased with this, with the blown-highlights but i will post it anyway seeing that i want to have something to look back on and say "Well that was out of focus, lets go and try it again" sort of thing.

I will more than likely do that for every photo i get out of focus :)

This bench looked nice just sitting there all by itself, and the tree really did it for me.

What you think guys?

[Tooler]

Not too bad at all.

I like your compositions but find the 30mph sign in 1 a bit distracting. However No.3 is a very nice pic indeed.

[Techno-Geek]

Going to sort that sign out now mate :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Is the one under the orgional one better?

[Witch]

Try a crop losing the sky altogether TG - sorts out the issue of the sign nicely and also loses the blown sky! ;)

That Black & white shot is nice - you could get away with giving the contrast a bit of a boost too - try having a play with Dodging and burning to add a bit more punch.

Well done - you';re coming along nicely, I would say! :)

[Techno-Geek]

There you go, i have added another picture and i will remove the one's i don't like the best when i have heard some comment :D

What do you think of them three?

TG :thumbs:

[Rocket]

TG. From viewing some of your other images this set I feel is improvment, you seemed to have grasped Contrast, Sharpness, comp and the subject .although there is need to not over expose as this shows in your skies.
I would feel that the pub is worth another visit, and if the landlord is ok, you could find some interesting shots.
Good luck...

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks Rocket :thumbs:

I will try to go back to the pub tomorrow (HAHA thanks for giving me the "something to do" to say why i am going over the pub :D

Tony :thumbs:

[hillwalkinggirl]

Hi Tony, they are definitely improving. I think you are now understanding the rule of thirds. You do however need to find some more interesting subjects to take photos of.
Maybe in the pub you could look out for some real characters and then take some candid shots of them.

[Techno-Geek]

Thank You :thumbs:

I will now try harder getting more intresting subjects :thumbs:

There he is, my lovely Mutters. I think this is the best photo i have of mutley i really like it

It is boring taking photos in the garden and house now, going to start to get out more :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Photographs been updated

[Joe T]

Not a bad one of the doggy!

[irw1]

Not a bad one of the doggy!

Yep. I agree, nice shot TG. Cute dog too - do you know what bread he is? (He looks a bit like our beloved hound, but not even the vet is sure exactly "mix" he is!) :love:

My only suggestion would be to try getting a bit lower when photographing your dog - it can produce some great results.

Keep it up!:thumbs:

[Joe T]

Yep. I agree, nice shot TG. Cute dog too - do you know what bread he is?



Hovis Best of Both I reckon :D

[irw1]

Hovis Best of Both I reckon :D

:lol::lol: I think you're right Joe! (Not sure ours is "best" of anything though, bless 'im, but we love him to bits!) :D

Got any more of your dog TG?

[Techno-Geek]

He is a jack russel, he is very quick but doesn't stop eating the grass :)

Thanks for the comment guys :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

UPDATE:

I have now added a photo of both of our dogs to my days photographs, not good technically photo but that was all i could get to have got them both facing side by side

Oops, i was mucking about in Photobucket and had removed one of the photos i had on here so had to root though and get a copy of it to replace it. All done now :thumbs:

Number 1 - Is from just over the park from where i live, the park entrance don't really look like a part because it down the side of a building. Just see this and i thought it would be good to take a photo of because it is not something i did before.

[WanderingMind]

Great composition in no 1 from the park, eyes follow nicely along, well spotted :)

[Toothie]

love number 1 (day 7), it leads you through the picture so well:thumbs:

[Duckydoodle]

Really good composition in the photos from day 7 Tony. Great capture :thumbs:

[fletch5]

Well done TG. the only bad comment i got, is you deleted a few of the earlier photos making the comments not tally up, sorta got a bit confusing when they mention the 2nd shot and you cant see it. Hope you can keep the shots going on a regular basis:thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks Duckydoodle and fletch :thumbs:

fletch - Once people had commented on the pictures, pointing out the one's that they didn't like i removed it from the post seeing that it would just make the thread look more messy :thumbs:

[CENTER]Day 10

Number 1

[B]IMAGE LINK BROKE
I am going to have to go and do this again tomorrow or something because i am not best pleased with the results, maybe it was because i was breathing heavily and couldn't hold the camera still

Tony :thumbs:

[Witch]

I agree with the comments regarding the first day 7 shot - very nice. One thing I can't get my head around though - you keep posting shots and saying you don;t like them, they're out of focus, etc. If you think at a shot and it doesn't meet your own personal standard for posting, then why post them up? You clearly realise that they are - even in your eyes - of a lower quality than others you've postedm so either go a day without posting a shot, or go out and re-shoot if that's possible for you. Remember, quality ahead of quantity! ;)

I like no 1 of day 9 too - my sort of shot this one. Remember when framing though to check around the subject for anything that you don't want included - in that shot you could possibly have re-framed to exclude the aerials.

[Techno-Geek]

I understand what you are saying Witch, It's normally too late for me to go back out and try it again so sorry about that.

It was something i see when driving back from the shop and thought it would come out good but it never,I put up the images images i have taken that day regardless to what i think they look like, because i want to be able to see people's comments on them and see if they can see the same things i do which is wrong with the photo. Then i can go out another time and correct this :thumbs:

Tony :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

[CENTER]Day 11

Number 1

[B]IMAGE LINK BROKE
Went round to the animals in the field today to see if i could get any close-up shots, but they was too fare away for the length of my camera to reach them :lol:

Tony

[Techno-Geek]

Jimmy_Lemmon & Marcel

I've got to hand it to you guys, I have got to Day 11 and struggling for ideas already. Maybe i need to get out of Snettisham more

I do have a portrait of myself in mind, which will hopefully look good :thumbs:

[mobilevirgin]

TG - keep going - Days 9 & 10 are good (11 less so). I admire people who can do this for a whole year and part of the challenge is to post the crap too, if that's all you've got for any particular day. The interesting part of the exercise is to see how you improve over the year - and I'm sure you will. Some of your recent stuff is better than the first few shots you posted up here. So, there's an improvement already.

And I have to disagree with Witch about missing days. If the idea is take at least 1 pic a day, then you have to do that and post it. Which is why I'm not doing this 365 thing - at least at the moment. You'd end up looking at 365 photos of my dog.

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks MV

I think the main thing letting me down is the focus length of my camera lens, it is actually doing my nut in. Like them sheep in that field, if i could just get abit of zoom on them they would be alright. The camera is up to, just the lens isn't

No - don't think like that* Use what you've got more creatively. That's why the phone box pic works and the sheep don't. What you need to work on is your eye - try and see a photo closer up - recognise what the tools in your hand can do, not what they can't

* we all want bigger / wider / sharper / softer lenses - its only natural - go for it if funds allow. But more gear is not the holy grail - its about what you see

Assuming you're still using the Fuji that's in your profile, then its a camera that can produce excellent results - maybe have a look on flickr to see what others do with it - here: http://www.flickr.com/cameras/fujifilm/finepix_s6000fd/

[Techno-Geek]

I agree that i need to work on my stuff which is closer not so much on the field(s)

Right this is going to make you laugh, I thought that my camera was only like a 3.6Megapixals up until today when i looked on it and it had in big silver letters "6.3 MEGA PIXELS" :lol: :lol:

I can't wait to get out there tomorrow and get some more photos, got a really really good capture in mind. You'll just have to wait and see :D

[LKavaney]

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/Tonyl55/Oneofmybest-1.jpg


Really like this one! Wondering if some of the other shots are a little oversaturated ie the dog pic?

Totally agree with mobilevirgin. Its the photographer that makes the picture not the camera. For example I've seen some horrendous photos people have paid good money for from some people with top of the range gear and I've seen some utterly amazing photos from people with cheapo cameras, take the Holga, ok so its style is not to everyones taste but it is essentially a cheap and nasty plastic toy camera but some people produce images with it that leave me in awe!

I totally see where you are coming from with all the images you've posted, you can see you've put a lot of thought into them and your passion is evident. I shall be keeping an eye on your thread for developments and new pictures for sure!

[Techno-Geek]

I see what your saying about the dog pictures, as i said. They are not technically good photographs but i like them because they are of my dogs

I may be getting a Nikon D80, sorry all you canon people :lol:

I think all this practice has done you a lot of good
I feel that some still miss the mark but on the whole you are definitely improving
keep it up :thumbs:

Thank you very much Chris :thumbs:

I am still editing and mucking about with the picture i just posted so keep an eye on it :lol:

It doesn't actually look that bad to me :shrug:

This is my mutley again, looking out the window in to the garden

TL~P

[Tooler]

I like the dog looking through the window shot a lot. Well framed and you can read what he/she's thinking.

To go back on your previous pics. I like the engine, pp is interesting. Makes me stop and look when I scroll through. Also like the red phone box alot. A bit of a cliche'd shot but taken very well.

A good thread to watch progress. Well done. :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Thank you very much Tooler.

Tony :thumbs:

[LKavaney]

that is a well composed pet portrait, the best of your dog pics yet! :)

Got some new features to add to my bench today, The bar and the silver weights is what i got today (already had the other one's which are on the bar) I have done about 4 sets of 10 reps with the new weights and it is already showing it's worth

Not technically a good photo, probs not even intresting but it is something i got anywho

Tony :thumbs:

[maddog.mark]

Should have found this sooner.

Goodluck with this Tony, I wish I had the time to do this, scratch that I wish I had the motivation to do this. :D

It'll be interesting to watch this thread, I can already see improvements in your photography. Not that I'm an expert you understand;).

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks Mark

Hopefully things will get even better when i get my hands on a D80 :thumbs:

Just looking for the money now :D

[dod]

I can already see improvements in your photography. Not that I'm an expert you understand;).

Exactly what I was thinking, stick at it TG :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks dod :thumbs:

Which do you think are the best(s) one's?

[maddog.mark]

Exactly what I was thinking, stick at it TG :thumbs:

:suspect: Which bit Dod the improvement or the expert bit :D

Back on topic now please...sorry Tony :)

[Techno-Geek]

Yeah, how very dare you use this thread as a "confuse tony" thread :nono: :lol: :lol:

I joke, i joke :D

A start to a new me

I have started working out and eating what i should be. Everything cooked right, i make sure of that.

No more cakes for mrs Mr Kipling

(Not technically a good photo)

Is the cup half empty or half full? :D What you think? I think half emtpy, see if you can work out why i think that :lol:

Tony

[Joe T]

I think the glass is twice as big as it needs to be :p

[Techno-Geek]

Yeah well i think my gut is twice as big as it should be :D :lol:

[AndyBorzi]

I've just caught this thread and think it is a great idea. Its not something I could easily do unless taking 365 pictures of an industrial estate or the cat is interesting....maybe?

Anyways...so far, my favourites are the phone box and day 13 (Mutters?).

Can I make a suggestion about the park photos? (I prefer the first one!) How about starting with the path on the left and it leading diagonally to the right? Perhaps wait for someone to walk along it and catch them in the distance?

Keep it up and I'll keep coming back for a look :clap:

[Techno-Geek]

Yeah, i could try that tomorrow. might see if i can get low to the floor and take it along the path :thumbs:

Thanks for the comment too :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 21
IMAGE LINK BROKE

Nothing really special today, but did like the look of my phones buttons on the front :thumbs:

Tony

[Rocket]

Hi TG.
Day 19. I think this may have been a better picture if you had got down low, catching the top of the trees. and turned the camers vertical.

Day 20, Would have been better if the glass had been clean.

Day 21, Nice and sharp.

[Techno-Geek]

Day 22
IMAGE LINK BROKE


It is off my camera on my phone :D

It isn't good quality but hey, atleast i got my photo in for today :thumbs:

And by the way, they behind me are my weights. I love weights so much

Anyone heard of this

"Light weight, Yea Baby"

"OHHHHHH"

??

He is a legend, lets say he was the reason i got back into doing my weights again :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 23
IMAGE LINK BROKE

Took from my front room :)

[Techno-Geek]

Day 24
IMAGE LINK BROKE

Took this shot coming back from my exercise on my bike today down the ally way beside my house. I have used seletive colour to just basically see if i could do it and i think it come out pretty well.

Tony

[GFWilliams]

I have only just noticed that you are doin a 365 aswell! Some of your shots are brilliant. I like the last one especially - the selective colouring looks great :)

Only thing that I would say is that the sky is very blown and the path seems a little under exposed..

George

[Techno-Geek]

The sky looked much better in colour but then i couldn't have done the seletive colouring thing :thumbs:

I really like doing the seletive colouring thing now :D

Will try harder to get the picture today :thumbs: Instead of basically point-and-shooting :lol:

[Joe T]

I'm afraid there isnt really enough interest in the shot to keep my attention. Sorry bud.

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks Joe :)

It wasn't subject i was looking for, it was just to see if i could do the seletive colouring on the bushes on the wall tops both sides and the bottom ones :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 25
IMAGE LINK BROKE

I took this today, it had a path in the middle but i took that out to play around with different things in photoshop.

Going to go up town tomorrow to find interesting thing :)

Hopefully this is a better one than i took yesterday, more interesting etc.. What do you guys think?

I have done something to that in photoshop to make it look really out of focus, i haven't got a clue what i have done :lol:

Tony

[GFWilliams]

I think it looks better without the path:)

If you go back, try getting really low to the ground, and use your widest angle lens to get a much more interesting shot:)

George

[Techno-Geek]

I am using a FinePix S6500fd, can't change the lens :( That is why i am getting annoyed with the camera

[GFWilliams]

well zoom out then or buy a cheap 35mm SLR!

[Duckydoodle]

I like day 25 but it could do with a crop as it is. The view down the centre of the trees would make an excellent shot without the fence in view. Perhaps try doing what GF Williams suggests and get closer to the ground. If you can't just try zooming in so you cut the fence out of the shot. Your photogrpahy is improving by the day Tony :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

DD i've done what you said and added it along side my other pictue. Is that what you are talking about? do the crop like that?

Tony

[Techno-Geek]

Day 26

[GFWilliams]

like it mate :)

[LKavaney]

perfect timing! shame about the angle of view though.

[Techno-Geek]

This is how i got it....

I was sitting in my chair in the front room and i know he always get up off the settee after being asleep and goes to the door and streches and yawns and that, so i sat there and waited for him to get up :thumbs;

The angle couldn't be help seeing that i have to sit in the chair to get shots like that, not enought space on the floor :lol:

Tony

[LKavaney]

make space ;)

[Techno-Geek]

Okay i'll get that wall knocked down tomorrow :lol:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 27

Basically i had to stay in today to clean the front room and other bits around the house.

I looked up when i walked in the door (which is on the right of the picture :lol:) and i see my reflection in the light hangy thingy thing :lol: ant i so technically minded? :lol:

Day 29

Had a day over at the truck fest today in Norfolk.

It was a awesome day but didn't get many photographs because i was too busy being glued to the trucks, they was amazing

[HanC]

Great photos Tony, keep it up! :D You're showing great dedication to this! I'm liking your yawning dog particularly :)

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks Han :thumbs:

Day 30

I like both of these, but can't decide on which one to have up. So i'll let you's decide :D

[Duckydoodle]

Going back to day 25 yes that's better :thumbs:
I like your yawning dog. Your composition in your images is improving no end Tony.
The flower is slightly oof but I like the composition and the idea. Any chance of another take :shrug:
Well done for keeping this going btw :)

[Rocket]

Tony, I was wondering what settings you are using with your finepix, Manuel, Auto, AP etc, it seems that on some images showing the sky, the sky is very blown. Not knocking but just wondered if you should be playing with the settings a little more...My daughter has the same camera, she is getting her head around the settings which has preduced better pictures.

[GFWilliams]

Tony,

Ya Photos are improving! ;)

[Techno-Geek]

Day 32
IMAGE LINK BROKE

My first proper take at a shot with the new camera of my buddy

Tony

[LKavaney]

thats a much better level to be at when taking animal photos! Next work on a plain background or use a lower f/number to get a blurred background.

[Cobra]

Just seen your "new kit" post, Tony
enjoy :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 33
IMAGE LINK BROKE

This is my first ever try at real flower photography. Still could do with some work

EDIT:

Have not really caught it in focus

[GFWilliams]

I like it, but if it was mine, I would crop it to the left to focus more on the flower. Also maybe a little off the top...

George

[Techno-Geek]

Yeah that sounds quite cool :thumbs:

[Techno-Geek]

Day 34
IMAGE LINK BROKE

I was wondering around in the garden today and couldn't find anything exciting and as i walked back though the gates to go in the kitchen door i see this tooth brush oddly placed in the fence.

I was feeling very tired and my legs were going so it is a little out of focus :)

[Techno-Geek]

Day 35
IMAGE LINK BROKE

Not much for today really, was just driving though the tunnel in London

get a tripod place it on the passenger seat with camera on. Go through at night with along exposure and hey presto it looks like a good effect. try it.

just use a remote release or a self timer operated by someone else ofcourse :suspect:

[Techno-Geek]

I was in the passenger seat. But will try that when i pass :lol:

[Duckydoodle]

I like your toothbrush shot. It's not oof looks sharp to me. Different :thumbs:
When your shooting flowers use a lower f stop and it will help to blur the background and isolate your subject. Nice attempt at the flower btw :)
Also nice composition on the tunnel shot :)

Hi Tony, The Camera is doing you proud, just uncertain of the make "nonac":lol: so then it all came clear when mirrored.:thumbs:

Are you now a qualified driver TG? Well done if so! Where you going to hit first with your camera?

I am not a very happy bunny today, I get walked all over when someone wants to borrow my car and my mum saying yes without asking me. People want to sleep in my room without asking (asking my parents instead) and they think that it okay. My room is my personal space, i hate it when people invade it

They were sleeping in my bedroom for about 3 days until they decided they wanted to go back home today. Knowing dam well that they can't take there car

I am sitting here, feeling unloved. Forgotten about and all the stuff that comes with it. No one is talking to me. None of my mates ask me out of a night time, oh yeah that would be because i have got none :argh: Don't you just love moving away?.

I have stopped going out in the day. People don't know what to do when they see someone in a electric wheelchair, around here most of them just laugh. When i go out on the trike it is the same. Can't win :(

Oh my, i could moan about a lot of things today.

Tony

[EdinburghGary]

Chin up mate. Whos in your room and who took your car?

[hillwalkinggirl]

Your mum shouldn't let anyone borrow your things - they're not hers to loan. I would never have dreamt of doing that to my children. Your room is your own personal space - it's not fair to loan it out either. You must have a serious talk with your mother and explain to her that it's not the right thing to do.

Start that photography club up you were talking about, and then you will meet some new friends and even if you don't, it will give you an interest and you will get to know some people in the area. I'm sure people don't laugh at you - you are just being paranoid. Sometimes people are embarresed and don't know what to say to you. Just take the bull by the horns and start the conversation. Anyone riding a trike is bound to get stared at - it's quite unusual to see one, and they are just interested. Stop moaning and go out and enjoy the new place. You will probably get to love it eventually.

[Techno-Geek]

Chin up mate. Whos in your room and who took your car?


My uncle ray and his girlfriend and her girl are in my bedroom and they took my car back to London

I keep trying to keep my head up, but things get too much. I don't know why

I need something to cheer me up. No one around here is going to do it though :(

If they are in your bedroom, how have they took your car back to London:thinking:

[Techno-Geek]

They are not now, they have been for the last four days. Then today they took my car..

EDIT

Didn't explain it properly in my first post sorry

They are bringing it back next week if i don't get someone to take me there to get it back.

I didn't do anything stupid because then i'll get in everyone's bad books and giggidy goo blur blur and what not. You see what i mean? :lol:

I could have quite easily stopped them taking it, but i didn't know they was until i looked out and see it gone and asked my mum

Well I'd make Uncle Ray take you out for some driving lessons in payment, when he gets back. I think he owes it to you. Cheer up now, get out on that trike and take some more photos in the meantime, and I hope you got that brake fixed.;)

[Techno-Geek]

:lol:

Ray is so tight, i doubt he will pay for anything. Although i am going to go mad if they don't wash it, inside and out :lol: I will really turn green :)

I really hope things improve for you Tony.

Just enjoyed going through your 365 - some really good shots.

Cheers

Day 11
Hard at work

Just the usual today, sat at my desk doing things on the web etc.

I took a photo of me about a year ago and thought my back was too small for my liking, like not built up enough so i went about building myself back up again. That bulge near my back isn't fat. It's muscle :) Honest, I don't know if any of you know but i done the mini marathon in London three times until i had to stop because i out-grown my chair so i was pretty big built after that with all the training etc. Then i just let it all go :lol:

So as from today, I have decided to start building myself up again :thumbs:

Tony

[Rocket]

Well Tony, By the time you read this you should have had plenty of Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz's and perhaps the world looks a little better today.
you mentioned
have stopped going out in the day. People don't know what to do when they see someone in a electric wheelchair, around here most of them just laugh. When i go out on the trike it is the same. Can't win
You may feel you have a problem, but those that you feel are treating you that way have much more of a problem, i try to treat and greet everyone the same,as iam sure many on here do as well, there are none of us so called perfect, the word should be removed from the dictonary. Trully those that are laughing have a real problem, truth is they don't know how to deal with somthing a little different.

Good on you for doing the marothan, never could do it myself. Lets hope you have a better day today, lets see some more from the new camera.:thumbs:

I used to push weights and found it a good way to get rid of some stress, But then again, i used to "Rock around the Clock", problem was i kept falling off the dam mantle piece.:lol:

[EdinburghGary]

Tony well done on the marathon! keep it up :)

PS - Diet Coke is minging - I see you like it :D

[Techno-Geek]

Thanks R :) Some days it really doesn't bother me but some it does ;)

Gary, I've stopped doing marathons now. Haven't done it in about 4 years HEHE naughty MC Donald i say :lol:

Diet coke is way better than normal coke :D

[Rocket]

Thanks R :) Some days it really doesn't bother me but some it does ;)


Beleive me, there are days i just cannot understand people and it gets to me, i can deal with issues better now, But some people know no better and you are never going to change them, they go about there daily chors and have no clue of the real world.

I find that if people are getting to me, i take some 10-20 deep breathing, after a short while all don't seem so bad .

Main thing is to keep positive, get on with what YOU want to do.. And get that Camera going...

[birdy961]

I did used to love it

People do actually laugh at me, I've seen them look and laugh straight away. Or just call one of there friends and they both laugh.

Hi Tony

I have been following your thread for a while without commenting so thought it was time I chipped in.:D

Your photography is improving and you certainly seem to spend more time "up" than "down" now.
You have made some brave posts and been totally open to all the peeps on here and have had some very positive responses.
Tell your Mum how unhappy it makes you when she lends your things/invades your space, no good bottling it up because it will bite someone's arse eventually:nono:

Pick up all the positive, get your camera, fix the brake on your trike and get out there and enjoy taking photographs.
You have made some online friends here who will keep giving you the constructive critisicm and support:thumbs:

For those who laugh at you when you are on your trike, sod em :thumbs:
They are unimportant, ignore them

No go and do what you enjoy best. ;)

I am laying off the fatty foods for a bit so i have started to eat cereal instead of sweets, fatty drinks etc in an effort to get myself slim again.

And after my wheelchair breaking down today i feel shattered but aswell like i have done some work and lost some pounds

I have not done much today, Just the normal stuff really. Surfing the net and chatting to peeps. Oh and i installed MSN Plus which is cool, have used it before but not for ages.

Now i am planning some things for tomorrow :)

So today is good :thumbs:

I like your day 10 picture better than your day 13 as it portrays exactly how you were feeling that day (and you had every right) but in No.13 you look sad still....so yes...we need a smiley one I think. yeh?

[Techno-Geek]

HEHE i wasn't sad, i was just concentrating.

I'll be sure to put up a happy one today :thumbs:

I am in a slightly more happy mood today, can you tell? :D

Well, i have not been in a good mood all day. Being home all the day by yourself isn't really that appealing to me, But it is what it is like for me everyday.

Then tonight, i get my driving test booked YAY :):D So that lightened my day up

Tony

Nice to see you smiling Tony.:thumbs:

Oh look where i am again

First off, Not a good photo i know

I am getting annoyed at living at home still. I am not allowed to do what i want, i am not allowed to stay out late. Which is how i have lost friends. I can't even go over the pub. I am 18 now for jubba sakes. Why can't i do anything?

I have no freedom to do what i want, i have people telling me what to do left, right and center.

Am i being selfish in wanted to do what I want to do?

[Techno-Geek]

Sorry about the moody post above guys, i just need to let it out

Tony

[EdinburghGary]

TG - time to grow some balls mate :) Your 18, you can do whatever you want. I realise you have some issues with mobility etc, but come on, lets look on the bright side. You really do not want to sit and mope though, seriously - chin up, PLEASE :D

Jump on a coach, a traun, get to the nearest big city with your camera, and have fun! Go out and experiment.

Gary.

[Techno-Geek]

If i go out, i get a phone call "Where are you?" Me "Out" "Oh come home then"

If i turn my phone off i'll have the police, the FIB and whoever else after me.

I do try and keep my head up, but i am seriously struggling

Tony

EDIT: Ohh Catherine Tate has come to the rescue with her videos on Youtube :)

[bidden]

Hi Tony,

I've been following your thread but have hardly posted, and without going into my life story I can empathise with you. I have a son a couple of years older than you and understand that it can be hard to tell your family and those closest to you how you feel. However, often it's not as bad as you think it's going to be..and if you are able to choose a time when eg your mum is not busy and relaxed to mention to her some of the things that are bothering you , you may get a better reaction than expected.
As for the trike issue, sometimes the person in the chair/on the trike needs to be the strong one by just looking others in the eye and giving a confidant smile (even if you don't feel confidant) then you may get a smile back if nothing else. This could then lead to a build up in confidence which then means you don't give a monkeys about what any one else might be thinking about you....and you know what??? Sometimes when you think people are looking at you or laughing at you they actually are not.
Carry on with your thread and let's see you out and about in the near future
JO

[Techno-Geek]

Jo, thanks for the post. My confidence with the trike is good now :) Although i don't go out on it much now :( Should try to though :)

Well, what can be said about today then. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and walked outside to go and check the post and looked over at my car and see it sitting here :) That put a smile on my face and hasn't come off all day

I love my car, it doesn't argue back. Does none of that :)

Live it or regret it is what i will say to you.

It wasn't "Oh i can't think of what to take and just grabbed this on my desk" i thought this one out last night and had a go of it today :D

I am getting more and more used to using, Manual mode on my 400D which is a bonus.

Heading out for another drive tomorrow so that should be good :)

I like this Tony improving all the time with that 400D. Nice dof. Might have looked a touch better if the top of the glass had been buffed first :thumbs:

Nice DOF on that one mate.

I forgot to post last night, but when I saw Day 16, I giggled a little bit, woke the girlfriend up! Was expecting to see a bored / tired Mr TG, but instead we saw an excited happy man. I hope it's reflecting the mood you were in :D

Hope the driving goes well tomorrow buddy

I got my driving PRACTICAL TEST appointment confirmation though the post a couple of days ago, and thought i would take a shot of it as my 365 today as it was the only thing that really appealed to my on my desk

I just can't wait to get driving, it is going to be awesome

Wish you the best of luck Tony. Once you pass your test, you realise there's nothing stopping you going here there and everywhere. You get more freedom.

Someone said to me that i won't be driving my cars lots, because i can go everywhere else by bus/train. I laughed so much at him :D
