  • More fly-tipping in the alleyway bare patch. Some guerilla-gardening now filled it with Buddleja cuttings. Can't kill it, so it should take. 16:11:25, 2010-07-03
  • Now to try elderflower champagne making.. 16:11:43, 2010-07-03
  • Elderflower champagne set aside for a couple of days to ferment. Was touch finding enough blooms still about. Fingers crossed. 19:03:34, 2010-07-03
  • Also found a smashed mobile phone up the road. Nokia 6600S. Going to go back now and see if the battery and SIM are laying about. 19:04:32, 2010-07-03
  • Actually found the SIM card in the dirt. No battery though. SIM seems to be dead, tried in my phone. 19:46:14, 2010-07-03
  • SIM is 3 Mobile.No general help number. Tech support line redirects to general sales. Email link requires 3 Mobile number. 20:12:12, 2010-07-03
  • I give up. How do you contact a 3 Mobile rep without wandering into a store and tranq-darting one of their sales staff?? 20:13:09, 2010-07-03
  • Rooibos and Baklava is lovely. 21:37:35, 2010-07-03
  • 6600S works! Electrically anyway. Mechanically it's Very Buggered. It's also not a network-lock, the SIM is totally FUBAR. Think IC cracked. 22:48:11, 2010-07-03
  • So have a buggered phone from a network I can't contact with a dead SIM and a mem-card with 10 blurry shots of kids at a French fairground. 22:50:28, 2010-07-03

  • @Alfa_fox It's the salt in the sweat :P in reply to Alfa_fox 00:07:29, 2010-07-02
  • Gone from ENTP in 07 to ESTJ/ENTJ now. Mostly gone from Perceiving to Judging. Inventor to Supervisor/Project Manager. Doesn't feel good. :/ 00:14:20, 2010-07-02
  • 7hrs on DeviantArt, New Halo shoot pics have; 31 views, 1 download, 1 comment. DA, you suck. 00:50:27, 2010-07-02
  • Need to find some 16mm thick smooth flat wood. For the reprap. 01:13:39, 2010-07-02
  • @GraafenBlackpaw Check the digital (photo) camera market. Some will record HD video, just only in short amounts. Why XLR so important? in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 01:26:43, 2010-07-02
  • Just met with police outside. Called them at 01:30, sound off serious assault at far end of alley. Scream, smacks, muffled threats, silence. 01:47:59, 2010-07-02
  • Police arrived at 01:38. No sign of blood or anyone injured. Now left to drive around neighbouring streets in case there's someone hurt. 01:49:35, 2010-07-02
  • Police rather more reassuring than last ones I dealt with over my attempted mugging in that alley. 01:50:52, 2010-07-02
  • Having a sledgehammer by the door is reassuring when you stick your head out to investigate. Only a mangy fox visible tho. 01:53:38, 2010-07-02
  • Would have liked to have gone further down alley to see if I could help, but alleyway poorly lit due to low maintenance and overgrowth. 01:54:55, 2010-07-02

UKFur Ladies Shirts Photoshoot pics

Posting up the best images from Saturdays photoshoot with Halo.

After some umming and erring, I’ve managed to whittle down the few hundred pictures taken on Saturday to just 18 of the best ones.

I managed to arrange a photoshoot with “Halo Husky” to help advertise the new ladies-fit variants of the ever-popular UKFur T-shirt designs, as I’ve previously blogged.

Lighting has proven to be the biggest issue in most, so I will have to invest in a portable reflector to help get rid of some of the harsh shadows in future as well as UV and polarising filters to reduce glare in other places.

Some shots had some very delicate tweaking of the gamma and saturation levels to get them up to spec. I’m very happy with the results so far.

Again, the uploaded pics are reduced to half size for the web. I have yet to pick which of the images will go on to be the new example images, but it’s satisfying to know I’m happy with all the options.

Please find the images here: http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?page_id=50&file=Photography/Shoots/Halo%20UKFur%20Shirts/
