Ready, set, GO! ..and go, go, go




Above are some of my favourite shots I took while experimenting with my first roll of film on my new Lomography Action-sampler. Some of them are a bit underexposed, and there were a lot more I took that just didn't come out, so I'll be investing in some decent ISO800 film for next time.

On another photography-based note, I've just ordered a Fisheye 2, so instead of waiting until i go away I'll probably be messing about with that soon.

Have it your way (even when scoring in La Liga)

Like many of you, I'm a fan of a good marketing gimmick- done tastefully of course. I found this rather interesting piece for Burger King yesterday. It even comes with a how-to guide!




I'm not really sure if I like it; yes I know it's worth a chuckle, but does it do much more than that? Not really. Then again, does it have to?

I guess it's been done now, so what's next? Ideas on a postcard please (I promise if I ever use them on a live brief I'll give you credit, honest)

All's quiet on the western front...

After taking a couple of weeks off after the fun-filled month of placements and endless train journeys that was June, I've decided it's time to get back into being creative (this also gives me a distraction from the dreaded dissertation).

I've always been a fan of photography, so after Uni suggested we do 'creative' things this summer that wasn't just advertising, I've become slightly obsessed with buying cameras. I splashed out the other day on a new digital one, with HD video recording- so keep an eye out for some film projects coming soon- and have just bought myself a Lomo ActionSampler from ebay. 4 images, one negative, over 0.66 seconds. Should come out with some interesting stuff, so keep checking back for that!

I'm also scraping some pennies together for a Fisheye (yes, I've been on the Lomo website a lot!), so really looking forward to that coming soon.
