Ha Ha, Thanks Kristen :)

Big shout out to Kristen, was on her blog http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=KristenLittle and saw her pirate name, so I went to get my Pirate name and was cracking up so badly, don't think its entirely accurate(as my pathetic drum beats don't really make me musical), and I wouldn't have minded being a Scurvy Dog Dave instead!! But none the less it was funny!

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!


Ha ha, thanks Kristen, needed that laugh :)

I DID IT!!........... Sort of!

Hey yous fullas!
Well yesterday I spent several hours, to go along with the countless hours I've already spent, fixing my 600mm lens that got Humpty Dumptied!! Well Okay it didn't fall off any wall, but it wouldn't go back together again let me tell you!
Well after awhile I started to play with it on the camera and realised that there is only one position in which it has full range of focus, basically from some closer distance through to infinity. This position will allow it to take pictures fine, though it seems that, through some way or another, all the guides are exactly opposite to where they should be!! Now I don't know about you, but when I want something fixed I want it back to how it was. This is just not gonna happen this time, I'm fine if the lens works fine, and it does. Plus its only the focus and apeture guide, I need to know that stuff off by heart anyhow (not that I do). Long story short I fixed the lens...... sort of, and its back in action!! Yay!
Catch you guys, I'm off to do a Calc assignment. I Also might be entering some photo competitions, so will see how that all pans out!

PS:I had something to write just here barely three seconds ago, sorry maybe another day!!

Ok so I said more time.......

Sorry for the long wait between posts :(

Alrighty then, I've out doing a few things recently, namely getting into some more climbing, and a little photography though thats a bit of a sore topic right at this moment. (will explain later)

I thought I'd appease all of you who are getting tired of looking at the same post everyday with this Photograph. Its a rock wall, or face, that I have climbed. If you wish to see the pics of me climbing they are on the ohter site (sneaky hey!!)
Its heaps of fun and I love the outdoor climbing, its way different than indoor stuff. I didn't find it too difficult, till we started to try and climb the really small crack and not the larger one. Anyway the fun part is when you have to 'set up' the route, there is at the top of the cliff a bolt into which you fix a carabiner or Quick draw to then attach a rope. To get there to do this, we found the safest way is to belay from the top and then set it up and then to belay down to the ground! All fun and games I can assure you!!

Back to the tragic events in the last two days, I was talking to a friend and had felt encouraged to enter a photographic competition. So I thought I would go through my gear and clean it, make sure its all ok. Well I pulled apart my large 600mm lens to clean it. Now I CANT get it back together again. Its got Humpty Dumpty syndrome!! Its honestly like a rubics cube, its got to go a certain way for it all to fit together! Well I'm not gonna let it beat me, It just makes me feel stink cos I really like the lens and I don't want to think I wrecked it!!

Till next time, hopefully I can get some cheerful news about said lens.

Cheers,
David
