Happy birthday BDB.

A lovely evening was had with the lovely DS.

And today I'm working from home due to IT probs at work.

Evening Crapsters

I'd hope for the same with the IT at my place but that would mean I was the one crawling round in dark spaces checking connections and putting backup plans into place. That usually happens around 8am on a Saturday morning

Evening all

. I'm working from home tomorrow, hurrah! I hae the dentist first thing though; visit to the hygienist, so less of a hurrah. I find that always hurts!

Anyway, i've been having a real reading frenzy lately, and finished three books this week! The down side is i've finished all the Jo Nesbo books now

However, i have SP's book to read next, so looking forward to that! Need to finish it before hols though, so i can take a massive book that i'll probably try to leave there to save carrying back. Should manage. Flatmate is away with work, got place to self, so find it easier to read at night. What a rock n' roll life i live eh? Hehehe

I just can't get into Jo Nesbo at all Pea. Like Steig Larsson only more complicated Apparently the film of one of his which is out at the moment is excellent, if a little gory.

I don't envy you the hygienist. Too much rooting about with sharp bits of metal for 'your own good'.

Evening folks.

Nice chilled birthday had. Popped out for dins with a couple of friends to Cafe Rouge. Steak and chips - yum! Think I'll have a little choc-ice now to finish off

I've got a Jo Nesbo to read after Alan Partridge which is very funny, so I'm reading that slowly so I don't miss the gags. I'll have to get the audio version of it too.

Good luck with the hygienist Lee. It's not the most comfortable experience but think how clean your mouth will feel after (before)(during)(after)

Morning Crapsters

I've not tried any Jo Nesbo books....i'm on a Val McDermid one at the minute.

Lee can the hygenist not put some 'numbing gel' on your gums?

Off to visit my friend soon.....hope everyone has a good day.

Hello lovely folk...

I am stressing... LOL... I made a late decision to stay over Saturday night after all, as I'll be on my feet all day, concentratinge tc and was worried I'll fall asleep on the M4 on the way back, so found a cheap as chips B&B in Aylesbury. I have to make a list of the types of images Booky wants, write down the ushers who's job it is to herd the masses on my behalf... charge all three cameras (probably overkill, but I'd never forgive myself if I had some sort of technical fail and no back-up!), take spare SD cards, ...

Have to drop the dog with a friend for the day. My new best friend the Sat Nav will hopefully get me there and I should have a good 3 hours beforehand to be able to check out both venues... I never like when I haven't seen the venue beforehand, had a bit of time to ponder light sources, angles, do a bit of experimenting. I also need time to chat to the vicar beforehand to introduce myself, and to see when they do/don't permit pictures... quite often they have bits during the ceremony when they allow photos and bits when they don't, and that's at the discretion of the vicar.

At some stage I'll have to nab the ushers and give them a list of groups to herd... I can't wait until the formal group stuff is finished and I can get on with what I'm best at, the fly on the wall documentary stuff.

Can't wait to see the photos Nam, I'm sure you'll do them proud so stop wibbling

*hands Nam a soothing cup of tea*
Your fretting is healthy in that it shows you care. On the other hand, fret not! You're ace with a camera; I know the posed shots are out of your comfort zone, but the ones you took for us with JP's camera were fantastic

I know it is an awesome responsibility, but you will do a great job; not every shot will be a photo album piece, but that is the nature of the beast.
Can't wait to see you and catch up when you get a chance to put the camera down and chill

Nam - I want you to save that post somewhere and go back to it in a year's time when you are doing these things regularly and see how much changes

I'm sure your pictures will be superb and you'll have a lovely time.

If Cakebook are checking in today, guys have a wonderful, magical day and a very happy life together.

Thank you everyone, for all the kind words esp. Frodo, having been on the other side of the lens.
That means a lot.

I do wibble a lot. I know I'll do my absolute best on the day, but I'm also sometimes filled with self-doubts. But hey, they know I'm not a pro yet and I don't have thousands of pounds worth of kit, but I'm doing this as a favour to friends, who I will of course do my very best for but who will hopefully also cut me a bit of slack...

I'm glad I'm staying the night now as I'll probably need a drink when it's all over.

It's not about the cost of the kit, it's about your empathy with the subject and being able to 'see' through the lens rather than just 'look' .... if that doesn't sound babbly.

The wedding photos you did for the little furry hobbit were stunning and you've got much more photogenic subjects this time

13/04/2012 at 10:42

You will be great Nam because you are so passionate about what you do and really care that Cakebook get what they want. I hope you all have a fabulous time

LOL **ducks** awaits incoming hobbit....

Thanks all I'll stop moaning now and get on with what I actually should be doing...

And this is why I avoid all photos wherever possible. Meanies.

I thought Frodo looked beautiful and won't hear anyone say otherwise.

They're only teasing, I know

But Sarah will make a much more photogenic bride than I was, I'm not good in front of cameras - anyone remember the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler were trying to have a photo taken for their engagement announcement?
