DanboSeries

So recently I got a little figure called Danbo. It's pretty much just a little figure of Amazon boxes put together to look like a little person. My boyfriend has one too, so when I went to see him at the weekend we took pictures of both of them together. These a few of what I came up with -

Here the Danbo's are trying to put the battery into the camera and take a picture. In the first picture they are taking the battery to the Camera. I carefully balanced the battery onto their arms while they were standing with their arms interlinked with eachother. In the second one, they dropped the battery into the floor. I stuck the arm to Danbo's face using blue tac. In the third picture they finally got the battery in. In the the fourth they are ready to take the photos. I used blue tac to stick one of the danbo's onto the button. 

In this picture one danbo is consoling the other who is feeling down. It can be seen as giving them a kiss on the cheek. I decided to do this because last week I felt really down, for no reason. Although this happens a lot. This time felt different. I just wanted to hide myself away from the world, just to be with the boyfriend, to have him give me a kiss on the cheek. I edited this to made the colours quite cold/dull, to represent the sadness. So this picture is meant to represent how i felt. 

This its just simply two danbos holding hands looking up. I had to use blue tac to get them to stand up whilst having their legs look like they are walking as they kept falling over other wise! 

All photos have been edited in Lightroom, but just really brightening up the colours, and make things look a little sharper.

Peace.

CatchUp!

So I know I haven't written a post in a while, just been busy, and so tired recently! Not really huge amount to write about. Oh apart from seeing Dara O'brien, must have been a couple of weeks now? He was amazing! So different to when you see him on Mock the Week. He swears a lot more! But it's not over the top, all his jokes are rude kind of swearing. He made a lot of jokes about him being Irish, and picked on the audience a lot.We had our own bob the builder in the audience! Ended up seeing some family friends there too that we didn't know were going. Small world 'ey! Overall it was a good night out, few beers that are brewed in cornwall <3 few laughs!

The Saturday after, I went to watch Arsenal vs. Tottenham. That was a great day! I went with my dad, was nice just to spend some time with him as I don't much. Arsenal of course won 5-2. The atmosphere of being in the stadium, watching the game with people you know nothing about but all share the same passion of wanting the team you are behind to win! It is always much better than watching it at home in your lounge. 

Peace.

BeautyOfSouthAfrica

This isn't me bragging about where I have been, but yes I did go to South Africa a few years back. This was taken before I go my Canon, so I took it with just an ordinary point and shoot camera. I did a bit of editing in lightroom, basically just brightened up the colours a bit and here w are. I just love this picture, it captures the beauty the coast of South Africa has. This is near Cape Point, where the Indian Ocean meets the pacific. Contrary to what some people believe, you can see the physical line where they meet as the seas happen to be the same colour. Despite the fact it was their winter, the skies were just rich in blue, the sea was so clear and everything seemed peaceful. When I got home, got slightly disappointed when the picture made the scene almost seem dull and not as bright! As soon as I discovered lightroom needless to say this was one of the first pictures I edited. I wont ramble on too much more, instead i'll let you just soak up the beauty.

Peace.

NailOfTheWeek

I love having my nails painted. I can barely go a day with out having my nails painted. The colour always reflects my mood of when I paint them. Bright colours mean I'm often happy or excited, and dull colours, grey or black, mean I'm a little down or whatever. Its kind of my way of showing my mood as I don't express it physically that much. I decided to try the newspaper nails. To do this, I painted my nails a pale green. Waited for them to dry. Online I read that you need rubbing alcohol, now I don't have any rubbing alcohol, I just have, well, alcohol. Some sites suggested vodka does the trick, so used vodka. I dipped my dry nails into the vodka, got a strip of newspaper just a bit bigger than my nails and applied the newspaper to my nails. Hold it on for around half a minute, careful not to move the newspaper, and carefully take the paper off. Then hopefully the ink form the newspaper has transferred onto your nails. To stop the ink then rubbing off, it's best to apply a clear top coat. I use Barry M version, as this is a base coat, top coat, and strengthens nails. And you are done! It goes without out saying to use a pale colour, as the text will then be easier to see. The colour I used may have been a little too dark. Or the ink wasn't strong enough! 

Peace.

JustOneWeek

So as you can probably guess, not much has really happened, but I'll ramble on with the small things that has happened. 
So Saturday, being the Saturday before bonfire night, went to a local firework display. Last time I went to it was two years ago and it was held next to a small local pub. The atmosphere was always great, being by the canal too. Families having fun with their little kids. When I left to go to university they had moved the display to a near by Rugby ground, so this year was my first year going their. The atmosphere was still pretty much there so that was a bonus. Bumped into some family friends I guess you could call them. Watched all the fireworks with a pint of Guinness. If you exclude the street light that was on right in front of us, the fireworks looked lovely! 
Earlier that day I went for a gym session, had a trainer give me a plan of what to do. Man it's tough! Decided I need to get my fitness back after I got worn out walking down my hill the other day! (I know, walking down a hill should be easy right?). Going to start going to the gym before work, that way I am awake and raring to go for work! Well that's the plan at least! Continuing on the exercise front, played badminton on Sunday morning with my dad and some of his friends. With it being the first time in 2 years, safe to say I felt it on Monday morning! All my muscles were aching!
