Hello guys, I am making a few changes to my blog:
I am changing my writing
Awesome
people keep telling me that they are behind on my blog and to be honest I don’t
blame you guys, hell even I am behind on my blog! Writing about every day is just too intense
so I am changing what I write about. My
blog will still be like an online diary but rather than writing about everyday
events I am going to focus more on big events.
Life in the picture is returning as a
series
Most of you
guys probably won’t know this but I am very much into photography. Actually photography was my second choice as
a degree to study at university but lost out in the finals to Civil
Engineering. On reflection I think a
degree in photography is probably a waste of time anyway.
But anyway
the way this series will work is that I will post a series of beautiful photos
following a theme (like buildings, nature etc) all in and around Sydney. At the same time I will announce what next’s
week theme will be so you can look forward to it. This series will be
a weekly thing although I haven’t picked a day etc, either Wednesday or
Saturday. This series will start just as
soon as I can afford a proper camera, at the moment I am eyeing up a Nikon
D5100 for around $700, eek.
I am going to start using Videos and Video Blogging
I think using
the media of video will make telling you guys about my life in Sydney more
personal. I don’t really plan on
becoming a “youtuber” or anything big like that, just using videos with
occasional narrations. Videos will be
posted on my youtube channel but also linked into my blog like any normal
post. I will start video blogging in the
next few days. I have a reasonable
camcorder now but the quality of my videos will improve a lot after I get my Nikon
D5100.
And you guys
Let me know
what you think of these changes. I very
much appreciate input, comments and feedback so don’t be shy. You can comment on this post or send me an
electronic mail to my electronic mail address at takingthemike@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks, Mike
Hey man, yeah I agree with the fact it's a bit much for you to be writing everyday - although I do enjoy reading about your antics, you have some great discriptive sense; you could probably write some good books if you put your mind to it ... now regarding the Nikon camera - it's entirely your choice but isn't $700 a bit steep? can't you get one for $300 that's still decent? I know you're passionate about photography and you may well get your money's worth out of the D5100 but you'd also have to add money on top of that $700 for insurance, so I would suggest just weighing up your other options before you go making expensive impulse buys. Hope everything is going peachy and you're managing to get a good night's sleep now :)
ReplyDeleteCheers man, the writing style isn't going to change its just going to be slightly less day by day.
ReplyDeleteI know the camera may seem a bit of an impulse buy but I have always wanted a slr camera, I wanted to borrow my dad's Samsung gx-1l for a year but he needed it. There is a big difference between a compact camera and an slr camera. I think now at the start of my year out is the best time to buy a good camera.
