A free university ..well… a play on words if truth be told. It’s really a place where every module that I received from the online bible college can freely be downloaded. I noticed that there are 40 users registered. Wow.. people actually downloading the modules and studying them ? Well at any rate, I thought […]
Lauren Southern is trying to get on with her life. She is no saint. Can never be.
Lauren Southern is one of Canada’s modern day heroes, and just released an important documentary. I just watched Tim Pool’s video where he explains how Lauren’s video was not working at her premiere, and then was hidden by YouTube, and how the notifications didn’t work for the video. I’m posting Lauren’s video on my channel […]
Tainted Heroes Documentary.
I sometimes wonder if I should change the focus of nikipress.com from good news , to truth. There has to be a place for truth. I have all the right machinery to make it possible. Or perhaps I should buy another domain just for this purpose. 
My beloved South Africa. What have you become ? You’ve choked on the bitter pill of lies and un-forgiveness. Not for what was done to you but for what you believe was done to you. It never happened .
I just don’t want to hear of anyone’s sympathy anymore. If you do the right thing , they’ll screw you.
None the less. He makes a compelling argument. I think it depends on what you’re going to use the camera for. If it’s to capture news , I don’t think you need a full frame sensor. If you want to do portraits with bokeh then buy a full frame body otherwise don’t worry about it. I think it’s a pitty that the camera companies don’t make lenses for cropped sensor bodies. They want people to buy the bulky camera’s for portrait work which cost more.
Getting active in photography. Recently I have been so frustrated. What else is news , so I used my saved photos on my hard drive to help distract me. I joined Gurushots a while ago and recently I joined National Geographic. I just uploaded photos for fun and tried to see how I fare in some contests.
I am surprised at how far I got with so little time invested in photography. Most of my equipment is make do and specials I saw for a bargain. I also recently got a scanner working again by embedding windows XP into my windows 7 operating system using virtualbox. So now I have a 19200 dpi scanner for negatives working again. I also managed to embed my flickr account into this blog. Anyway .. this is how I have fared so far in gurushots. I have managed to reach the rank of veteran.
I also entered some photos in national geographic to see if they’re worth anything and guess what ? ! I’ve received some favorites there by some guys. Just a dreamer is all I am . But it’s good to dream as long as you take some action along the way eh ?
I am still messing about with my scanner … but here’s what I managed to get out of a negative using bad lighting on the scanner and a program called rawtherapee. 
It’s not everyday I get to take my camera out for a spin at an airshow. Here is a photo that I think came out very well. There are others I’ll add to this post . 
I decided to entered a phogography contest in gurushots again. Brilliant.. I got to all star again for the challenge of flying. I’ve entered these photos before except for the helicopter one. Nice to be acknowledged again.
