    Got a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so I've been putting a few songs up on my Soundcloud. Wrote this one last night. First one in a while that I've been pretty happy with. I'm not much of a recorder/mixer, but the song is what it is.

    A bit messy, and not really how I heard it in my head, but here's a cover of Emilie Simon's Je T'aime Je T'aime Je T'aime.

     

    Also, I don't actually speak French so I have no idea if what I'm saying actually sounds right. If any French speaking people listen to it, I'd be interested to know how well I actually said the lyrics.

  3. I work on the photography department at a PC World and I've always been surprised how badly Pentax's sell. I mean whenever I need to do a stealth fart I go to the Pentax section because I know nobody will be there.

  4. Also, intelAI, your description made a few people lol ;)

     

    Born to entertain.

     

    It legit does sound like that though, and its so fucking frustratingly inaccurate as well. And slow.

  5. +1 for the Canon 600D, probably one of the most popular entry level DSLRs around at the moment. If you're after a decent second lens, the 50mm f1.8 punches well above it's price point. Properly garbage build quality and the focus sounds like a dying cat, but its absolutely impossible to fault the picture quality for £80.

  6. IntelligentAl I meant to stalk your flickr because I've always loved your photos, but I clicked on the band link and loving the music too! Keep up the creative? work!

     

    Cheers very much! And there I was concerned I might be the only fan of anything I ever do :LOL:

  7. I'm fairly happy that I'm not limited to 200 photos now, but the design is a bit much for me. There's so much going on, but none of it particular easy to get around. But I try not to complain too much about things I don't pay for.

     

    Also, managed to sell my 75-300mm lens for a decent price, so thought I would take one last photo with it before I boxed it up:

    Going for that b&w film look, that way I can claim it as 'art'.

  8. Dat feel when you are finally succesful at digitising film negatives with your DSLR:

    Also, not sure if anyone will be bothered but I just listed my Canon 75-300mm lens on ebay. Not a particularly special lens, but not bad, I just never used it. Link is below if anyone is interested:

  9. Yeah would be cool to actually record with you but you're from THE NORTH

     

    Yeah I use PT too, mainly I just think it would be cool just to have a go at it

     

    Well maybe if you weren't so FUCKING SOUTHERN.

     

    I'll try and get you the audio then, I think Dan even has some recordings of songs you've never heard before.

     

    Giving or receiving?

     

    Not fussy as long as a dick is getting sucked.

  10. I know its quite a simple riff but the intro reminds me of hyper music, good nontheless. Would be good to hear your stuff properly mastered and such

     

    If you ever fancy it I'd love to havea go at mixing your stuff Alex

     

    I never noticed the Hyper Music thing until now. Clearly Matt Bellamy is just pouring out of my every creative orifice.

     

    And to be honest I think a decent recording would probably do more good than more mixing. We always seem rushed when we record :( But if you like, Dom, I can try and get you the raw recordings from Dan to have a go at mixing them yourself? I think he uses Pro Tools, but I honestly have no clue what he does behind that monitor of his. Recording and mixing scares the shit out of me :$

     

    The Tenants sold out, I prefer their older stuff

     

    I do it for the blowjobs and nothing else.

  11. I like those coloured ones! Especially the handshake!

     

    Try not to 'be away' from the board :chuckle:

     

    I do try :(

     

    Cheers though, colourising is cool but the only issue I've found is that Flickr adjusts the colour ever so slightly when you upload.

  12. Been away from the boards for a few months, here's a few I took.

    Those were both taken while I was shooting a student film, so there were plenty of photo opportunities. I also got Photoshop, so I've tried my hand at colourising a lot of the black and white photos I took.

     

     

     

     

    And finally, there was this one.

  13. Ok the second photo was probably a bad example, but I didn't feel like going through my whole Flickr, so I'll clarify what I was saying too.

     

    A crooked horizon has to suit the picture. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. Sometimes its to your taste, sometimes it isn't. The thing I took issue with though, was saying that any photo with a crooked horizon is a bad photo, or the sign of a bad photographer, because that isn't always necessarily the case.

  14. but deliberately wonky shots do my head in. I'd say they're a sign of someone without much experience/knowledge

     

    :wtf:

     

    I'd disagree with that. If a photo is deliberately angled, that's a stylistic choice. It doesn't necessarily mean that the photographer is inexperienced or anything at all. In fact to be quite honest, if every photo I ever looked at was perfectly horizontal, it'd probably get boring after a while. Some photos just look better angled, simple as that.

     

    Like these two for example, I took these at an angle deliberately. Perhaps I'm just a terrible photographer, but to me they wouldn't have worked nearly as well if they were perfectly straight.
