Two blog entries in one day I hear you cry?!
Well, it is the first day of the rest of my blogging life, and so I thought I would treat myself. That and the fact that I wanted to see what the site looked like with more than one entry. You are unlikely to ever see such productivity from me again...

This shot was also taken on the first day I got my camera, about 15 minutes after I took the one of the motorway off the bridge. It was the first time I had ever used a tri-pod, and I have in fact never used one since, partially because I don't yet own one, and partially because I have been busy with uni work.

As I write I am supposed to be getting on with my dissertation, an in depth analysis into the viability of direct investment into the emerging real estate markets of Russia and South Africa, and how that has been affected by the credit crunch, with particular focus on the various economic, financial and institutional risks associated with such an investment.

But instead I am typing to no-body on the internet on a blog that as yet has no subscribers (because I haven't told anyone I have started it yet). Depending on how it goes, and how the site looks in about a week or so, then I might let some people know that I have set it up. Until then, I am essentially talking to myself like a raving lunatic.

Hmm.....

PS - The EXIF data for this picture is lying, I can confirm that the shot wasn't taken at 72mm focal length, as I don't own such a lens. It was 55mm tops

(Edit: apparently you can't have two entries in one day, so this post has automatically been changed to tomorrow. So this is in fact in the future.)

Comments (and criticism if I'm in a good mood) are welcome and encouraged
