Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

I notice there are other similar kits for £60, which are not discounted, but looks to have more bits? Like this one.


What are the differences?

p.s. I do need a rachet.

Looks like the bike set has the smaller hex bolts, 2mm and 2.5mm which aren't in the other set.

Tiles, a sink, tap and some fittings. Need to paint the room still - just waiting on plasterer for one wall so I can paint the whole space!

The money shot... I'm sure some will disagree with using plastic but hey.

Hah it's just laminate cut to size. To be honest it was "free" as an off cut from my utility room and personally I'm not a massive fan of the overall colour but I guess thats what buying online does. I quite like the footprint/layout though! I just need to colourfill a couple chips on the edges

Saving up the dosh so I can justify quartz worktops in my kitchen..

Nice, there's something satisfying about a small 50mm SLR. I have a Nikon EM with a 50 and take it out sometimes still.

Not as nice as my M6 TTL that I will forever regret selling, but practically just as usable!

Film and Slides are so expensive these days though, I just looked it up, it's 3x as much as I remembered. Granted that was a long time ago but Velvia is £20...and I haven't looked into developing cost yet.

Good thing the plan for this is more like 1 roll per trip kind of thing. Or take 1-3 photo per day out, then develop it when it's filled and find out later with a surprise of what i had taken.

Oof, £20 for a roll of velvia, that's insane. Especially when it's so hard to expose correctly! I last used a roll of it in Macau, works amazingly as long as you keep the sun behind you!

I've still got a draw full of well-past-expiry Fuji Acros 100 B&W but it still shoots fine. Just checking and Ilford will develop and print for £12.....if I want anything blown up I'd send the negatives away for individuals, they want £27 for develop and hires scan of a whole roll! Nuts.

I'm off to Scotland next week, might load the Nikon up actually and shoot a roll while I'm away.

I have 3 rolls of Velvia in the freezer...a couple Provia, lots of NPS and Reala (I must've really liked these), some Acros and 2 or 3 Jessops own brand. About 20-25 rolls or so total, worth a small fortune lol

edit - just looked up the Dynamic Range of Velvia...5 stops! that is hardly anything...no wonder you need light behind you...that is going to make shooting into it during sunset quite difficult. This is going to be a challenge i feel!
