Well its almost 4am here and what a day it's been.
I decided in the end that with the extra hours i've been putting in, i deserved a new toy, so at lunch time i traded in my 2 old lenses and a wad of cash for a brand new lens. It has mechanics to correct for shakey hands and or coffee withdrawl, allowing for photos in really low light situations.
I also splurged on a hiking pole. However this hiking pole can be unsrewed at the the top to reveal its hidden talent - no its not a drug stash, nor is it a lethal weapon, but a rather limited monopod.
My testing today with my new toys shows that i can get passable zoomed in photos in situations requiring a shutter speed of a whole second. So that's exciting, well it is for me anyway.
And then when I got home I finally booked some accomodation - it's only one night I didn't want to get carried away. I arrive on a saturday and most of the hostels seems to be full that night, well the reasonable ones anyway I don't like the sound of the 24 bed dorm room nor the cost of a single room. Eventually I settled on a 6 bed room in Hammersmith for $50AUD a night.
And then to top all that off there was possibly the most exciting america's cup race I'll ever witness - hence why im still awake at 4am
Tomorrow's task should i actually sleep - to replace myself and find someone to fill my room
