Need for Speed – The depression…

I remember the first time I layed my eyes on Need for Speed (1994), the game was absolutley awesome! Check out the intro video below.

In recent titles the quality of the game has dropped a huge amount! The game has had countless releases ranging from Hot Pursuit to the more recent Undercover, but none of these offer any significant improvement over the predecessor. I would say the Need for Speed Underground has to be one of the best titles ever released as it was so addictive and has brand new features that you just would not find in other games – Plus I was prettaaay good at the Drift mode

Anyway

Dribbling over a Canon 450D

What a beauty!

Yep the Canon 450D is soon to be mine, I’m just waiting for the price to come down a touch after Christmas. I’ve been researching DSLR’s for about 2 weeks now and I can honestly say it has been a roller coaster as there is so much choice out there. About two days ago I was in a dilemma over whether I should invest in a 450D or the older brother, the 40D. After reading countless reviews, I am have pretty much set my mind on buying the 450D, why?

Well I am totally new to the DSLR field, so buying an entry level camera would be a wise decision, however I don’t really like “entry level” gear so I have found something which sits between the upper band of entry level and breaks into the mid range features of an SLR. The price is also great, especially with a bundle that John Lewis are offering at the moment: http://www.johnlewis.com/230527239/Product.aspx The Image quality on the 450D is supposed to better than or on par with the 40D so why should I pay more!? A lot of people on the forums are complaining that the 450D does not have the higher ISO of 3200 or the menu wheel, but I don’t really care about those features enough to justify spending almost £300 extra!! Oh and the weight factor is a big one for me, I can’t be asked to lug around a huge camera especially when the image quality would be close or worse to that of the 40D.

So lets hope the price of this bad boy goes down after Christmas!

Wow my blog is now breathing

ok… its not actual a living thing so it would not actually be breathing but you get my drift.

So why have I started a blog? I don’t have a solid reason as such, but I think it may have a lot to do with building some kind of structure in my life. Lately things have been…shall we say loose in terms of my strictly personal attitude towards life and I don’t want that feeling to snowball into something untoward.

So in a bid to improve my personal vision.. of my life!? I have kick started this blog. I’m sure its a good thing…

So what do you expect to see on here? Well It will contain events and thoughts of my life as its being lived and of course these events may or may not be of interest to you – regardless it will be available for all to read, ahh the beauty of the Internet.
