Okay yes, as you can tell I'm bored - and let's not forget tired - and sore.
Yes. Today has not been kind to me and I have a feeling it's probably because I got less than an hours sleep last night.

Well, I need to do my journal entry for Tafe so here it goes.

Got to Tafe a little late and walked into the first class, soon after we headed out into the field (the group I was split into) and set up a little makeshift backdrop. Using this we learned about portraiture within different conditions, whether it be outside or in a studio, whether we use studio flashes/tungsten lighting or pure daylight, whether we have a real backdrop or a makeshift one. During this class we were to all take part in modelling (yes I may have broken a few lenses when I jumped into the spotlight) and photographing. Not being serious throughout the entire thing and acting like "Men in Black" with my friend most of the time we got through it.

Getting into the second class (this is where the hell starts) we sat down and started talking about what we were doing within class that day as usual and found out we were taking photos of glass using the "Bright-field" lighting technique. First subject being a tall wine glass was pretty easy, just a few mishaps. Second and third subjects (smaller wine glass and glass bottle) however felt like making everything that could go wrong, go wrong. By the end of the class I had ended up getting a gigantic migraine and just felt like lying down and dying.

Within the last class we learned about designing a webpage. That's it basically. We went more indepth than that but I don't know how far I could get without stuffing up the explanation entirely.

Okay so that's all from me today, see you soon (hopefully).

Well I still have a ton of photos which I need to process before I get them up onto DA from like a month ago? I know, I know I should have had them at least processed by that time otherwise they'll just keep building up and I'll never get through them but lately I've been either way to tired, sick or something else has gotten in the way. Well not anymore. Lately I may have been getting a bit lazy but I had a research project that I had to do anyway so I've been more concentrated on that than my photos.

Completed the project today and sent it off now I'm free to do what I need. If I don't have photos up by Friday night then yes you may call me lazy but I won't be getting them out tomorrow (Thursday) since I'm at Tafe until 7:00pm and usually completely buggered out by the time I get home. Although Friday I have the entire day off so I'll be sitting here at the computer processing my life away and submitting the finished products up here.

Well it's me again. I haven't posted in ages and I'm really kicking myself over it since I'm getting sloppy. I think I may need to create a schedule upload where I do a certain amount of uploads per day/week whatever.

I have a heap of photos in my computer that I still need to process and get organised then I should be right to upload. Unfortunately my sleeping pattern has been completely off recently and I'm way to tired to be bothered doing anything as such. Even getting motivated in TAFE has been a really tough time. Hopefully my sleeping patterns will get better soon and I can get back to what I love in the world the most. Photography!

Well TAFE is really taking it out of me lately.

I'm finding it really hard to adjust my sleeping patterns and so I'm really tired by the time I get there in the morning and almost completely out of it by the time I leave during the night. Just today I fell asleep in two classes and woke up right at the end of them, thankfully I got what the classes were about but I just hope I can start up a better sleeping pattern before I start getting into stuff I don't understand as easily (which will likely be next week).

Wasn't able to upload any photos recently since I just started shooting in RAW (okay, okay, I know. Big fail on my part) and I had no program to process the images I took. Although I have just bought Adobe Master Suite CS6 and Adobe Lightroom 4 and am currently installing them as I write this out. I should be able to get a few photographs up either later tonight or tomorrow sometime.

That's all from me for now.

I've been on holidays for the past 4-6 days and I've been struggling with things to take photos of because of the weather. This afternoon the rain had cleared up and I remembered what my old Photography teacher had told me, "The best time to take photos is directly after the rain, it makes for beautiful weather and creates wonderful scenes for photographs."

I took that advice to my advantage and ran out to the beach and got some wonderful shots. Unfortunately I can only upload them to my computer, the internet here isn't good enough to support images being uploaded to sites like this. I wish I could get them out but I'll have to wait until I get home which should be in few days.

Can't wait to see the feedback once I get them up! Fingers crossed.
