Pixlr


Right then people, another photography post it is! So, my dad was reading Which and he came across "The Best Photo Editing Sites". I find Photoshop a little complicated as a beginner photographer and its quite expensive so we don't have it at the moment, but the review said that Pixlr was just as good, free and maybe a little simpler to use! Well I just finished editing my first photo (now my FB profile picture) so I may as well let you see the results....I think that maybe my skin is better in the first version and the vignette is a little big but I can edit that next time. I highly reccomend Pixlr for beginner photo editers!

Polyvore

Okay, so I'm going to do another non-music related post. This time its about Polyvore. Polyvore is basically a fashion website for budding stylists and whatever. You don't really design anything but you put outfits together. The great thing about Polyvore, is that it is FREE and really easy to use! All you have to do is set up a profile and get to know it. You can view other people's sets too. Once you've made a set, you can publish it and people can view it, like and comment. To get more comments and likes on a set, I recommend getting as many contacts as possible! The other great thing is that all the clothes on Polyvore are REAL!So you can go out and buy the outfit you made later...I'm obsessed with Polyvore and I hope that you'll enjoy it too!
VENT
Sorry to spring this on you but I really need a vent. I'm fed up of being treated like a dumb, immature, freak by people who have barely spoken to me before. And you know what the funny thing is? I get A*s and A grades in exams! My lowest grade has been a C. I'm just as mature as anyone else in my year. I have my inside jokes with my friends, I laugh at funny things and I take a serious approach to anything I need to. I act the same as the people who judge me (obviously I try not to judge people and I treat people equally). We have the same fashion and music tastes and I've noticed how similar we are over the past few years. If people didn't judge me by my looks (I'm really no great looking) they might actually like me. Okay, vent over :)

Back to School

Oh frabjous day. Not. I will be going into my last year of GCSEs which is terrible as it means I won't be posting on here very much. Year 11 is going to be a lot tougher than last year according to the teachers. I didn't think that was humanly possible after revising for 4 HOURS A NIGHT in Year 10.
 This is why I can't stand it when old fogies say that GCSEs are far too easy now. They had two years to revise everything whereas now they changed to having major exams every few months. I'd like to see them sit AQA Physics Module 1 when they'd just only turned 14. Grr.
 Well if you're looking for a post on music you won't get one (for once). I think its time I did other things than just write about songs.
 So...photography is pretty cool. Its another thing that interests me LOADS and I wish I was as good as some people. I have a Flickr account but I'm nothing special. I HAVE to find the time to take some pictures or buying my SLR Canon would have been a complete waste. There's some amazing talent out there so I'm going to link you to just a few of my favourite photographers on Flickr.

That's all for now but I'll post more discoveries as I find them.
I think that photography is a wonderful hobby to have as it lets you be creative and capture all the beautiful things in life (how cliche of me). Plus, if you like technology and whut nut, cameras and photo editors are good things to use and interesting etc etc.
