New Old Hair



Today, I decided it's time to tidy up that mop I've been keeping on my head. It doesn't seem like such a long time since my last haircut, but I couldn't see anymore so it was time for an update!

I went to the same salon as before, since I was happy with the look then, and I wasn't disappointed. There was a new trainee there today, so the cut only cost me £10. Things really are going my way right now.

The End of the Day


Since it's been my 2nd day of training today, I'm quite tired and not at all in the mood for photography. All I want tonight is a nice cuppa tea and reading entertaining nothings on the internet thank you very much. So that's what I photographed.

shutter 1/25, F5, ISO 800 I believe. Desaturated and edited contrast in photoshop.

Sleepy Jan


Well I did say I'd try to attempt a weekly self-portrait as part of this challenge. So hello world, this is me, and I'm tired.

I discovered last night that Canon EOS Utility doesn't work with my new operating system. Disappointed! This means I can't use it for remote shooting with my laptop anymore. Super disappointed! I also discovered there SHOULD be an update on the Canon website, but I keep getting an error report saying file isn't found. Guess what? DISAPPOINTED!

So I tried something else instead. This was taken using the trial version of DSLR Assistant, that I downloaded last night and quite liked. I may end up buying it, but I will of course try other options to make sure because I think $60 is a considerable amount and not something I'll take lightly. 

Anyway, back to today's photo. This was taken in low light, shutter 30, F25 and ISO was either 200 or 400. Monochrome setting, no flash. Adjusted curves slightly in photoshop.
