Archies Christening

Went up to Edinburgh on the train at that weekend For my cousins, little lads Christening. Was a really nice day. Hadn't seen that side of the family in year or so and I hadnt seen the new generation! Little Archie and Alfe are both 1 year old. Really good to see them all... Its bloody cold up north though!

I went first class on the train because it was £35 standard and the £3o first class. First class i thankyou...

Also bought Bruno via the apple store to watch on my ipod touch. .. But found it to difficult to watch. Wrong on so many levels!

A post apocalyptic photoshop of Cawood

Finally got round to doing a tutorial on how to make a scene look post apocalyptic. I think its worked well. The original photo is of the street my house is on. I then made it look post apocalyptic.

I think one of the things i would liked to of done more of is making things look over grown.

I don't think the well cut bush to the right would look anything like what it does. Maybes i could of replaced it with a bush that's a bit more out of control.

So things I learnt...

• Used vanishing point. Great tool for getting the correct aspect on doing road re-surfacing. Useful for changing a picture on wall for example and getting the correct aspect. Found a tutorial on that. Might do that one as well.
• Lighting effects under render
• Use of the burn/dodge tool for grubbing things up
• How using some of the different modes work on a brush
• Using a mask effectively

Ipod touch cracked.

Spent the morning cracking my Ipod touch. They don’t make it easy! But at least I can copy DVD's ect to it now. I’ve also had a look at putting cracked apps on it. There are loads of steps you have to take to do so. I really can’t be bothered. To be honest I would much rather pay the 59p for the app and have it on my iPod quickly. Plus I can sleep easy knowing I’ve given a developer a few penny's for all their hard work! ha.

I used this site to do it....

MOON

Went to see the film "moon" this evening.

I had never seen a trailer or read anything about it until I noticed a twitter from Jonathan Ross who had been raving on about it. So I watched a trailer online and decided it was my kind of film. Was really good. Very 2001 a space odyssey.
