I Doubt They Scored

Filed under: Colour, Events, Portraits — Camera Dave @ 1:28 pm

I doubt they scored.

Last night was the first Score! of the year and whilst these guys probably didn’t Score from the looks of things a lot of other people certainly did.

As ever the photos are up in the galleries and I’d just like to take a moment to say that although I look wasted in the photos I am sober (and to the people that were asking, yes that is my real hair).

The photos are also up on Facebook again to help you track down just who that random person who jumped into your photo was: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5.

Back 2 Skool Already?

Filed under: Colour, Events — Camera Dave @ 2:16 pm

Glamorgan SU Freshers' Skool Disco

I know I said the photos should be up by lunch time last night when I was taking the photos, but I had trouble getting up for breakfast - The photos are now up though so if last night is a bit of a blur, rest assured the photos aren’t.

And if you can’t be bothered to nab them yourself to put them up on Facebook, I’ve already done it for you: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5.

And remember it’s no tickets for Score tonight, so get here early - I’m in the bar already.

You Should Never Volunteer

Remember The First Rule - Never Volunteer

It was more ‘at ease’ that at attention last night, although thankfully there were no privates on parade at the Freshers’ Army Party - At least not on my watch and certainly not on my camera.

If I ’shot’ you last night you might be in the galleries, so go on and have a look and if you want to play tag the photos are all on Facebook as well - Part 1 , Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

And to those people who were disappoint I was  G.I. Joe and not a G.I. Jane, I promise I’l try and make up for it tonight at the Back 2 Skool Disco - Remember to check availability for tickets for this and any of the other Union events, check the SU website.

Touch Me, I’m A Fresher!

Filed under: Colour, Events — Camera Dave @ 1:28 pm

Touch me!

If you’re a Fresher and found your way here, congratulations on remembering what I told you last night - here’s the proof I am not just a weirdo with dodgy hair*.

The first photos of Freshers’ are now up in the galleries. For those that want to play tag with the photos I’ll have them up on Facebook in a bit and put the links up on here. If your photo ddn’t make it up I’m sorry, make sure I take it tonight and I’ll try to do a better job next time.

Edit: The photos are now up on Facebook and like the Alien Quadrilogy in four parts - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and remember for information on Freshers’ events go to GlamSU.com.

*Although I will not deny that my hair is decidedly dodgy at the moment.

I Missed It, Again

Filed under: Cameraphone, Events, Landscape, Life — Camera Dave @ 7:37 pm

Balloons from the Fiesta, passing over my house.

I missed it last year and I have managed to miss it again this year, despite noticing during the week that the Bristol Balloon Fiesta was on this weekend and thinking I should really make a point of getting along to it this year.

The only reason I realised what I was missing yet again was because I was putting some clothes out on the washing line to dry - Technically I do have the rest of the weekend to go to the fiesta, but looking at the weather forecast for the weekend I’ve probably missed the best of it.

Ah well, there’s always next year…

Unimpressive Results

Filed under: Black and White, Events, Life, Portraits — Camera Dave @ 7:31 pm

A bad photo and I don\'t just mean of me.

As I mentioned yesterday I wasn’t planning on being Camera Dave last night and I kind of managed it, as I only took about 100 photos instead of my usual 400 or so.

My first mistake was getting a camera out to take a photo of some friends as once people saw me with a camera they quickly did the maths and came up with Dave + Camera = Camera Dave. It has to be said though that my new camera doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as good as my Fuji judging by the photos from last night.

It seemed to have a real problem focusing and gave a lot of people red eye which my Fuji rarely does (in fact the Fuji is so good at avoiding that I have never even bothered with teh red eye reduction setting). Further evidence of how bad the camera is is presented above, as you can see the camera made me look hideous!
