Not sure if everyone knows but the weather in Ireland hasn't been great for saying it's summer. We've maybe had about 7 days in total over the past 2-3 months where it hasn't rained. While it was nice and sunny managed to get some nice shots of our plants. Also I found the Marexar-CX 28-200mm 3.5 lens which fits on the d7000. I've had this lens for a while after dad picked it up/found it at a car boot, its taken a beating but still works!

Amaryllis shots

We bought this flower last week and it has just bloomed. Really fast blooming Christmas/Winter blooming bulb plant. Took some shots of it as we don't know how long it blooms for.






There are a few more shots I took of the flower and the bulb itself which I want to have a play around with.

In other news I went to the final Drink and Draw of the year. I only drew a few things but will paint them up and put them on next week. It's great to have a regular event where you can get together and chat with other people interested in all areas of art/design. There are plans of setting up life drawing sessions which I'd enjoy and can't wait to see what the new year brings for the group!

I have recently got the book Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right which has nice advice on creating and modelling a head with animation in mind. It was recommended to me by a friend as it seems to be a great way of modelling a head which I can then take in to ZBrush.

As far as other projects go I'm currently moving my University project from Realflow/XSI in to Maya and continuing particle/realflow studies with a new CGSociety course starting in January (Realflow Essentials with Allen Mckay).
