So I started Today in St. Georges, like I have woken up more than 1000 times in the past.
I knew one thing for certain this morning, I was going to check in on my friend “Ginger Gaz” – I would speak to him later than morning.
I knew I was going on a walk today…..
I originally planned to walk to Town and from here, I would be in a prime location, for walking to the pools in Trench, Telford.
I was particularly proud of my tune, a second track for my first album! That will be available to purchase from Bandcamp soon!
It contains the sensual voice of Mylee Virus! A close approximation of Miley Cyrus. Here, she gets so excited,
she sings in Acapella. Such confidence in her voice.
OOOHHHH STIRCHLEY – WILL YOU TAKE MY HAND……
(It’s actually a bit rough) It’s promising start to my new album, which will debut on Bandcamp – Expected 16th October?
HERE IS MY FIRST WALK TODAY. I RATE THIS WALK AND DIFFICULTY A WIMPY 4.9
THIS IS NOT A RATING ON HOW LOVELY IT IS.
IT’S JUST SO EASY…. IT’S HARD TO RATE IT HIGHER THAN A 5.
THIS WALK CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A 70 YEAR OLD GRANNY, IF SHE WAS DESPERATE TO DO SOME SHOPPING.
This is a standard affair, a standard walk for me, that I have accomplished many times over. I actually love this walk.
I didn’t take many photos, I didn’t have time, when I agree to meet someone up town, I am early – So I didn’t have much time to take photos on this walk. However there was some construction on one of the pavements, close to the Bus Station that I have currently have a petition about.
You can sign the petition here!
I was encouraged to do some more ambitious work.
So I let loose on photoshop about a couple of hours ago.
I was inspired by EA Games recently.
About 2-3 months ago. I made a Song about the “GDI INITIATIVE VERSUS THE Brotherhood of Nod……”
Here is the song.
I have a competition online, via Viewbug. I think I’ve entered in time.
I think I clinched the cutoff for submission.
I want to get in the top 50% with this one.
I think it was a lens that was for the winner.
I doubt that this will win.
However it would be nice if you would join Viewbug and FOLLOW me.
Vote for my submission for contests. It’s free for viewers to join.

The second route was different, Unexpected change in events. Circumstances involving some new course correction of the day occurred,
I couldn’t afford to spend all day hitting Trench From Town! I had a phone call with my enable worker Hannah,
and I needed to fwd her some notes. I decided to take a SECRET ROUTE.https://www.strava.com/activities/12391283972
This Route, for me is a bit more moderately difficult. At a critical moment, you need to judge the correct “walkers island”
It’ gets a technical difficulty of 6.5 at least. This is because, this bridge below get fiercely soaked and deep puddles can accumulate.
It was raining on and off yesterday on the 12th.
So, because of this memory. I amp the score of the technical difficulty.
This was the master shot of the day.
Sometimes, Photography is about patience, and having the right gear for the moment.
Train Commuting Workers Through Telford And Beyond from KingOfClubs on VIEWBUG.
This is not the preferred lens for this job. I knew there was a small graffiti art-piece, which reminded me of the “Silver Swallow Bridge”
So I waited around 12-15 minutes waiting for a train to come in.
However, without my tripod – and my wide angle lens I would really want in this situation
to maybe loosen up on that tight angle, from a standing position.
I did best as I could with a kit lens.
I bought this camera from CEX, in Telford Town Centre.
I have had so much good use out of it,
CANNOT Complain about that bargain!
Here’s a review of the local CEX team in Telford, I wrote earlier this year.
With my previous discussion with Gaz, I recommended that he checked out,
The Bodum Cafe and after telling him how great is was,
we both agreed that I really needed to check out the mysterious, GLASSHOUSE –
The table top games meeting hub, that I hear so many good things about.
I hear there is a functioning bar there!
I hear they play poker there!
And open quiet late!
I wonder how much of it’s actually true.
beeeeee-ccccuussss… as a photographer, I have a passion for miniatures,
models, and objects I can do macro photography sometime.
Here are some of my Chess Photos from my first test with this new
WA800 SONY CYBERSHOT CAMERA FROM ABOUT A WEEK AGO NOW.
e
The glasshouse was the perfect end point of the walk. I never got to actually speak to anyone at the End point of my walk. I was a bit tired after doing 6 km in practically 2-3 hours. Two walks in a lot of rain. I was a denched rat, It wasn’t the best timing. And that can be critical in a business negotiation.
I am going to have to return to glasshouse another time. To be honest, just the journey, the great Strava Statistical information about this route, and the documentation I got of the day, (my photography) was worth it!
There’s so many green spaces, and after hearing my FORMER Child-hood School friend, Sean Davies, speak in the Houses Of Commons, how how proud he was of Being A Council Representative of Telford and how eager he is for FIGHTING FOR Telford Green Spaces, There was a moment when I was reminded of this on the 12th of September, Yesterday now.
We need to Fight for every inch of this Town, the UK and Abroad!
I wrote about this in a song, quite recently!
I am a massive Final Fantasy VII Fan and It deals a lot with the planet, and ECO FREEDOM Fighting/Terrorism is at the core of the story.
Did I mention How fabulous our BODUM CAFE is – IT’s a rare find – A gem, Of The Halesfield Business Park.
AMAZING COFFEE.
REALLY AFFORDABLE / TOP UP FRIENDLY PRICES.
FREE REFILS ON PURCHASES OF
NEIGHBOURING WAREHOUSE BUSINESS “THE OUTLET”
I did a google review of them back earlier this year.
With a good mate of mine.
Here’s the company address and information.
I will hopefully have good news from my recent pitch,
but I promised them about 2 weeks,
before I popped back with an answer to my requests.
I will update you all – another time.
Here was my last GOOGLE MAPS Review of the Bodum Cafe. I have made 10 I think. So Far.
Green Spaces matter to what’s at the HEART of Telford and It’s Citizens.
I speak to an alarming amount of people that are concerned, over a lot of matters –
Poverty, homelessness – Some people I know are freezing to death because they can’t afford heat man.
But yeah, GREENSPACES is the common thread that bonds us together. – Seeing the
TREES IN TELFORD IS A COMPLETE BLESSING – ALL YEAR ROUND.
Out of the two camera’s I had on hip, or at hand rather. – I was blown away with the capability of the SONY BRANDED – WA800 CYBERSHOT
WITH IT’S PRICEPOINT NOW, IT MAKES SUCH A SUITABLE ENTRY LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY CAMERA – WITH AN ACTUAL LENS THAT IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING EYE CATCHING PHOTOGRAPHY
AND IT’S GOT THAT EDGE, OF DISCRETION.
IN WELLINGTON, ON MY PREVIOUS WALK.
YOU CAN FIND THE JOURNAL ENTRY ABOUT IT HERE!
With the Cybershot’s 20 mp camera, I was able to get large jpegs at a high performance rate
and its got a high portability factor and advantage over a bulky BRIDGE or even the golden DSLR.
So for shoots in crowds of public, you want to be quick, in and out, you don’t want to attract attention of police officers, in the vicinity on a test shoot of new equipment.
On a high pressure day, you must be familiar with your equipment.
and the more you are noticed fumbling about with camera’s YOU are NOT used to working with – is something Im not proud to admit, can completely ruin
photos and sometimes a whole event goes to waste – because you did not test your camera in an environment and you were caught off gaurd, with a camera – you don’t understand yet.
It happened to me,
I guess it happens to every photographer.
Don’t let it happen to you.
Pick up a cheap camera, on facebook market place,
BUY USED CAMERAS FIRST – Better, if you know a head or two.
However, if you don’t know anyone in photography, like even as a hobby –
You can source good information on Youtube.
