Enough is enough

Unfortunately my camera was destroyed in a yacht accident involving bilge water while I was on the Whitsundays and thus I have no camera with which to take photos with for the foreseeable future. There are also some other things which are going on at the moment which have made me decide to stop writing on this blog any more. I’ll still monitor any comments and provide help when and where it’s needed on any articles / HOWTO’s which I’ve written.

I’ve decided that I will be continuing blogging but just in a much more private manner where I can be honest with myself.

Thanks for reading

Another HDR one… still want to tweak this with some post-production, so far this shot currently in-camera processed with Photomatix.

This was a view from Sanctuary Lodge http://bit.ly/ZxHtu where I spent Monday and Tuesday night – quite an experience! This was a huge photo bonanza for me, being right in the rainforest was a great opportunity for nature shots so probably will be lots more from this collection in the future.

Im happy for @derrenbrown Must be nice to meet a person who's had such a strong influence on your life whether it's professional or personal #
@derrenbrown Make them disappear? A truely inspired suggestion methinks. Think about it. #
@PeteratSkype Privacy settings are at maximum, no-one should be able to message me but contact yet the spam STILL gets through. in reply to PeteratSkype #
@PeteratSkype Oh yeah, and DTMF tones don't work! Fantastic in today's world of automated phone systems. No wonder @Skype devalued so quick! in reply to PeteratSkype #
47 hours and counting 'till Australia!! w00T!! #
To me, Google's projects at times seem to be completely pointless, this is one such project which has come full circle http://bit.ly/2MC62O #

Playing with Postbox and ZCS 6.0 with Zindus – nice! Everything is running smoothly. #
Designing myself a new hoodie. So many design choices it's crazy. <3 being able to design my own stuff though. That's mint! #
I think I'm all HOWTO'd out :S I think I should catch some ZZZzzz's before work tomorrow.Why do weekends go so damn quickly!!? #
I fucking hate Twitter whores who spam for money. Fuck off you annoying bitch whores. Seriously, go pimp in the street, u'll earn more. #
In fact I may as well name and shame @Priscilla_Bentl <— one of many twitter whores who pimp their tweets out for money. So sad. #
I now name them "Twhores" & every single one that follows me gets blocked, so there's really no point. @Twitter REALLY need to sort spam out #
Can't wait for this season! RT: @wilw: An announcement of extraordinary magnitude: I will be on an episode of #thebigbangtheory this season. #
@ScottBourne I'm going travelling soon in Oz, have you any tips / essential equipment for a backpacking photographer? #
I am *really* looking forward to Derren Brown's upcoming series of "Events". Predicting the lottery numbers – that's an awesome claim. #
I think I've figured out how DB will do his "trick" – convince the audience AFTER the draw that he "predicted" them BEFORE the draw. #
i.e The draw will happen normally, then DB will "predict" after-the-fact, then convince the audience the predicted them b4 the draw. Cant w8 #
I'm a twitter snob – I only let people follow me if I find their feed interesting, otherwise they get the block. My anti-spam measures. #
Yey! My dissolvable stitches are finally starting to… dissolve! #
Follow http://www.twitter.com/scottbourne for a chance to win cool prizes for photographers. Details here: http://bit.ly/cnWXt #
Just passed 070-290: Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 environment. Another string to the bow. Yey! #
Pissed following a good night out celebrating my exam passing, leaving do and birthday party. Woo! #
Is it just me, or does Twitter seem a bit quiet today? #
Just heard a scally girl on the train say,"I feel like I'm in love, but I don't know what with". Hmmm #
Oz in T minus 8 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes. I. cannot. wait. #
Wow, major issues on @merseyrail this morning. Stuck on a train – its shocking how quickly some people get irate & almost descend into panic #
@derrenbrown Fantastic show my friend. I knew you could do it! Please look into creating more reality for us. The human brain is amazing eh? #
What the FUCK is going on with @Merseyrail. Seriously. Get your shit together! #
Probably going 2b in my virtual darkroom this evening (aka Photoshop) processing todays shots. Been asked to do a session for the GRWE too. #
@derrenbrown Please fix your blog, so much to read, so little patience #
Back from work and shoot. Knackered! 3 hours driving for a 30 min photoshoot. So worth it if it homes even one hound #
@wilw Hope you're feeling better. Here's some Star Trek vs Monty Python to cheer you up a bit #
