Fish eye lens

Had a listening exam today, went alright, wasn't too bad.

Anyhow, got a fish eye lens for my camera today, gives it just that extra touch I reckon.

This is the lens:




Took a photo of my room to see how it would look:



There is one but though, and feel free to tell me via comments.
When I've got the fish eye lens on, my camera can't seem to focus in "normal" mode and when I change to "close up" mode it gets all clear right away, is that normal?
Thanks in advance.

Poor man's paint job

Been painting bits and pieces on my car today, it's finally getting there. A friend of mine was putting the masking tape on, my fatty fingers can't reach certain places, lal.
Here are some pics:



And now I should start studying again, f00king exam week.

C-ya!

British English humor is the best

It's almost been a week, nothing much happened though.
I've been working on my car a bit, got it painted pretty much half-way now but I've got an examweek coming up so I'll have to be spending a bit more on studying than working on my car, harsh.

Took last night off to watch a movie with some friends. We watched My Best Friend's Girl with Dane Cook, it was hilarious. While we were at the video-shop I saw this DVD that was for sale, The Office UK, complete series 1. Bought it right away, love it. 3 hours of laughing your arse off for 15 euro's, that's far more cheaper than going to a stand up comedian not even knowing if he's funny.




Ah! I almost forgot. Went to Sittard, a city in the south of Holland about 40 kilometres south of where I live, with my cousin last week, he was going to get a new front window in his Civic. Nothing special in the garage when I walked about untill I saw this:



A Ford Escort MkI. This thing was serious, the garage owner built it for rally, as you can see.
Tweaked it a bit, it's doing 225 horses from the original 2 litre engine, not too much horsepower you'd say. But this baby weighs in at 750 kilo, wawaWEEwa is nice! I like!

Roll cage delivered

Received a phone call today that my roll cage had been arrived, thank god I was on my way home already, couldn't wait to finally see it!
Here it is, set it up quick snap



"Mounted it" or at least put everything together as if it were Lego



My bucketseatz haz frendz!


Have to take the whole lot out again in order to paint the interior, going to give it a "broken" white creamy colour inside.

What an improvement!

So I went out again to shoot some photo's last night. A friend of mine (thanks Antonis!) gave me some tips, which were very useful, about ISO-stuff.

I fancy this one a lot!



Now it's time for me to get my S13 back on the road so that I can take some pictures of that as well.

My first photoshoot

So I went out with some friends to do a photoshoot, good chance for me to get familiar with my camera.
Here's the result, still have loads to learn but this isn't a bad start I reckon.
Best ones out

Camera time!











Decided to buy a camera the other day, I'm tired of using someone else's cam all the time.
Bought a Fuji S5800, I actually wanted an S5700 because a friend of mine is using that and he shoots some pretty amazing pictures with it. Too bad for me that the shops where I've been didn't have the S5700 anymore.

Also bought bought a cardreader, 2GB card, new batteries and a tripod with it, all ready to go.

Going to properly test it later tonight.

1st blog?

Hello... I think. I don't even know where I'm writing this for. Is it my first official blog or is this the bit where I tell something about myself?
I'll tell something about myself anyway, here it comes:

Nissan RB25DET-ed S13, that's me and that's where I started this blog for.

Hope you guys enjoy.
