So for some of you lot, it will have been your GCSE results day last Thursday which brings back so many memories for me, I remember the feeling of dread like it was just last week (it's funny because it actually was but with my a levels instead..wow I'm so funny). Just please notice the sarcasm anyway moving on hope you're happy with your results, if you did well congrats you deserve it! However if you didn't do well then sucks to be you, you're a piece of shit.
Joking ok what I meant to say (without my probably annoying sense of humour) was *one sec let me get my diving gear on I'm going deep for a minute* results don't define you as a person, you can shape your own future! Grades on a piece of paper can seem like it's the worst thing in the world if you don't get what you want but often you can resit certain exams like I had to do with maths. I failed the first time getting a D and I found out that I was only 4 marks off which motivated me even more which led me to passing and getting a C in year 11 which honestly I couldn't quite believe it. If you're one of those people that just don't seem to click with maths then you'll understand how happy it is seeing you've finally passed and passed well as in some cases D is techincally a pass it just isn't considered a good pass by like anyone.
I've wanted to try out macro lenses for some time now and especially as I'm gonna be inclduding macro photos on my photography a level next year. However they are super expensive (like £400) so we don't have that much money to just splash out on especially if I wasn't that into it so we (my dad) came across something called a macro extension tube set which instead of replacing a normal lense, one of the three lenses are screwed on before the normal lense. This 3 piece set consists of lenses going from 13mm, 21mm to 31mm which allows you to convert any lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost while maintaining it's orginal optical quality (credit to the back of the box for writing that ha). Now in my own words I would honestly say it's very good, harder to get used to than I thought as it's essentially zooming in so close that you have to be dead still so that it doesn't blur. For some pictures I would advise using a tripod (which I didn't think of until too late). I would highly recommend you giving this a go as it's just under £20 on amazon so is reasonably cheap.
Here are a few of my favourite pictures I took recently using my macro lenses:
As you can see there's a few bee pictures as they are the only insect that didn't fly away when I put my camera lens extremely close to them. Bear with me here (I feel like Tilly off Miranda) as I'm only just starting to get the hang of the lenses and holding my breath so I don't shake.
Also I finished OITNB (if you don't know what that stands for then just leave..joke just google it, binge watch the whole 3 series then come back to me with your opinion). It was so good and I can't wait for new episodes but once upon a time is airing in september on UK netflix, maybe airing earlier for the USA I'm not too sure, but you guys always seem to get things quicker ugh I'm jealous you lucky things. So I've started watching more films now and espeically rewatching Disney films and making sure I've seen all of them for example I only recently watched Hercules which was good but I wouldn't rate it right up there with other Disney classics..I have high standards you know;)
Ok so until next time aka next week, byeee!
