Macro Lens

built myself a macro lens with the old pentax lens and some toilet roll. C:
i just put it "on" my normal 18mm-55mm lens, set it around 45mm and shoot.
works out pretty chill, check it here.

down side is that it only really works 0mm-around 30mm(3cm) away from the object so you need a lot of lighting, aka lamp right next to the object

might try and build a lens attachment on to the end so i dont have to keep it steady using just my hands

:D!

inspired

over the past couple of months, doubts have been cast over my decision to do maths at uni. I kept imagining it would be a whole pile of boring numbers that i would have to reorgansie to prove some equation that really didnt mean much to me. I distanced myself from maths to try and enjoy my time before i sold my life for 4 years of relentless studying. Although, sitting at home all day everyday day is not as exciting.

i decided today was the day i might as well buy a math book. So i popped down to waterstones and got myself Letters to a Young Mathmetician. Its not a math book in the literal sense, it is one of those story based mathmetical books where it isnt just random numbers and unconceivable formulae, instead it takes you on a philisophical journey through a young mathematians mind as they wish to study maths at university. It is intended not just for a budding mathematician but for their parents, friends or anyone else who expresses some interest.

i have only read the first couple of chapters, BUT it has reminded me why i chose maths at university. it reminded me that maths isnt all just about the numbers, its the ideas they embody. it reminded me just how undervalued maths is in the world today. it reminded me that the reason i chose maths in the first place was to better understand the world around us and just for the fun of it all.

and it reminded me that i love maths.

so...

so i went to the store cos i was hungry. i bought a caah to make beef, a chicken to make chiken, some curd soup, lemon juice, a deathstar and a life-sized cardboard cut out of jason statham from Transporter 1 made in 2002. then i went to a friends house who was having a houseparty in wisconsin, sat in a high chair and won a HDTV. I left and took the 207 to the end of the bus route at Hayes-by-pass. I got off and went into starbucks, bought a milky drink and probably threw up. my mouth tasted of cigarette butts so i bought some chewing gum spearmint style. the gum made my breath supersupersupersupersuper fresh, so fresh that it attracted aliens from Mars and they came down to earth. They probed my buttock and i liked it veryveryveryvery much and participated in various sexual acts.
I got bored so then i was chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool and shooting some b-ball outsida school, when a couple o guys who were up to no good, started makin trouble in ma neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said you're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. Well i whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything i could say that this cab was rare but i thought, nah forget it, Yo home to Bel Air! I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and yelled to the cabby Yo homes, smell ya later. Looked at my kindgdom i was finally there, to fill my throne as the Prince of Bel Air *3 head twirls* Then i recycled.
I went to the bus stop with the women of asia and talked to earl jones the lampost and waited for 10-20mins for the bus that never came. then i fell to my knees and said i believe in you!

Then i died :c


long live croyde! also cant properly remember the last bit that kaishia said so like correct me plz.
