Well, it's been quite some time since I last uploaded to here. Due in not some small part to lots of internet issues, but there have also been other Reallife(tm) things going on too: Some good, some not so good. I haven't managed as much photography as I would have liked, but I do have lots sitting waiting for me to sift through and upload. Patience. I'll get there eventually.

Well, it's that time now.
After graduating a few days ago, I start work on Monday, and I move into my new place tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure what level of internet access I'll have for the near future, so photograph uploads will be sparse. I'll be busy getting used to how things are run in that hospital too.
But rest assured, photographs will be taken and uploaded when I have the chance.

I've been fairly busy getting everything ready: I graduate next week and start work a fortnight later. Really looking forward to it! ... well, except for the packing, and getting all the paperwork done, that is.

In between enjoying the recent nice weather and not enjoying getting everything ready (Employment paperwork hoop-jumping process ugh!), I've been taking the time to have a look at the couple of photograph sets currently clogging up my hard disc still awaiting upload. I've been sifting through them and uploading them (Some are from last November!). I want to have them uploaded, if possible, before I start work. Once this batch of photographs is uploaded, I don't know when I'll be able to upload again for the time being, as I am unsure whether internet access will be available at the Hospital Accommodation I will be moving into. Rest assured I shall still be taking photographs, but it may make things more difficult uploading them for the foreseeable future.

As regards my recent trip to Land's End, I realised that as I'll be moving away from Devon soon, I really should take the opportunity to at least visit it. Once there, I was pleasantly surprised at just how picturesque it is. This was completely different to my memories of a pretty grim John O'Groats. It was helped by having a sunny, almost windless, day. I also realised that I have, as many do, journeyed between John O'Groats to Land's End ... but I've done managed to do it in a very circuitous route that has taken me, give or take a few months, almost exactly twenty years. It took a while, but I managed it.

I know it's been a while since I last uploaded anything... I've put up a couple of small things today, but nothing much. Certainly nothing compared to what's been slowly stockpiling on my Hard Disc these past few months.
I've been wanting to upload more photographs for a while now, but I just haven't had the time. Not to say I haven't been taking photographs; I have. Unfortunately, due to the workload in terms of final exams, revision, job-hunting etc etc etc, I've not had the time to go through the images sitting on my hard disc. This is especially true regarding the panoramic, and infrared photographs which take a bit more time to sort through.

I've recently been playing with taking photographs with different coloured filters in combination with a full spectrum camera. I've been getting interesting results. More info as an when I get the chance to upload them.

Be patient.

Well, its only been one year yet it's been just over two *thousand* photograph uploads since I joined DeviantArt!?!

Hard to believe! Having the new camera has been a big help, especially with it opening up the possibilites of infrared photography (something I have attacked with gusto!)... but the beautiful scenery around here and an ever-improving eye for photographic possibilities have been the main reasons for the quality of these photographs. I hope to improve my capabiliteies still further. But, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy my photographs.

This final Student Placement is nearly over (I'll be sad to go) and quite a few photographs are still awaiting sifting through and eventual upload, but I have a thesis to write over christmas.... So be patient, my pretties, be patient!
