So, on that note, I should probably go ahead and post something useful. This past weekend, I was once again sitting by a freezing ice pad, watching my favourite sport - ice hockey. The ins and outs of how I came to be a Manchester Phoenix fan really don't matter, all that you need to know is that I was sat, with my good friend Helena, watching a game, and taking a load of pictures, as I normally do.
Except, I've usually got the brains to format my memory card first. Yep, I shot the entire warm up on a card which already had a load of pictures on it. That was annoying. What was more annoying was that I managed to fill the card part way through the first period. And why is it, fellow photographers, that the need to change cards never happens at a good time? I don't remember what was happening at the point when my card said "No more! I'm full!" but I know, it wasn't during a stoppage. So, a quick change over, and I was back to shooting more pictures. Overall I broke my all time record, over 300 pictures taken.
I'm now in the process of sorting through them, editing and then watermarking the ones I want to put online. I could go on forever about how irritating it is that I, as someone who is not a professional and who shoots for fun, has to basically double their work to put the watermark on. But, the sad fact of life is, people steal photos, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Now, film wise, it's all go at the minute. Research is being done, scripts are being written, then re-written, and locations sorted out. The only problem is, I've had 2 responses to my casting call. One could well end up getting the role, and one I had to turn down as they were in London and things would've gotten very expensive, very quickly. And making a drama is expensive enough as it is.
So, I'll leave it there for now, and come back to you soon, hopefully with progress on the film, and hopefully with some nice pictures to show you from the weekend.
