I notice lately that a lot of films are becoming 3D. Two days ago we went to the Cinema to see 'A Christmas Carol', and that was '3D', but I also notice that a lot of other films are becoming '3D'. Ben and Nomi also went to see 'Avatar', which was also 3D, and Tim Burton has Created a new film of 'Alice in wonderland' which is also going to be 3D, Toy story 2 is coming out again, but in 3D, and also 'Toy Story 3' is also coming out in 3D; I hope that the next Narnia film (which will be 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader') will come out on 3D. I think soon all the films will come out in 3D, I think that could be the latest stile of film.
First we didn't have any films, them we had black and white films without sound, them black and white films with sound, them low quality colour films, them average quality colour films, them really high quality films with really good graphics, and Special Effects. And now we have '3D'. I think that is going to be the latest quality. When we went to see 'A Christmas Carol' we got given these 3D glasses, but we took our 3D glasses with us because soon we might be buying quite a few 3D films because they are all turning 3D. I certainly think that 3D is absolutely 'fantastic', it made 'A Christmas Carol' quite scary in scenes. Thanks for reading, I'd love some feed back. Please.

I've also done lots of other work on PhotoPlus which you can see bellow this post. I'll talk to you showing how I did them all.


This first Image is an Image of myself and a clone of me, what I did was I had two images of myself and I copied one Image onto the other Image and them erased the background, and behold I got this picture.

It took me a while to figure out how to copy one Image onto another Image, which is what I did on the clone picture. I was trying to figure out how to do that, but I used the wrong tool, and figured out another effect, and that effect was quite similar, it was were you got one Image onto another, but in a different way; It made the Image look quite sort of cartoony. The Image bellow is the Image that I got.


This final Image was done the same way that the clone one was done; I just got an Image of me hiking and put it onto a image of the beach, and this is what I got.

Sorry I haven't quite finished my essay posts yet! I know I said I said I had finished the series of posts on 'Photography', but There is something about Photography which I think I should put on here. About two weeks ago I finished the Photography coarse: But while we were at 'the Photography coarse' we learn how to edit Photos using 'a Photo editing program', I learn t how to make blared Photos clearer, and how to get one Image onto another Image: For Instance; just supposing I wanted to get a sheep that's in one Image onto another Image; this coarse told me how to do it........ Anyway as part of our homework we had to get three images and edit them and get three other Images and take a bit of the Image out and put it onto another Image. The Images that I did are bellow. I've also made some other ones which I will Upload sooner or latter.


These are the first three Photos that I have edited.













These three Photos that have been edited are the ones which I have just Sharped and brightened up a bit.

I wrote 'Gluten Free Cook Book' on the first edited Image because I also plan to use it for my Gluten Free Cook Book which I made.

What is love?

This is another omnibus essay that I have to do, and it’s on the subject of the question ‘what is love?’ I told you in an earlier essay that there are many meanings of the word ‘friend’. If you’d like to know what the meanings are them you can read my other essay. But I’m here to tell you about ‘love’. Like the word (friend) love can have many meanings: There are four main types of love, the first is the type of love is the type of loved that parents, Children, brothers and sisters have which is called ‘the family love’. The second type of love is (which is a similar type of love) is the type of love that ‘man and wife have; the third type of love is ‘a friend ship love’ (the type of love which King David had with Jonathan: which I told you about in the friend essay). Finally we have the Spiritual love which is the type of love which ‘God’ has with us. Even though these are all different types of love in one way there all the same, the bible clearly talks about putting true love as putting people before yourself! You should sometimes sacrifice yourself for your family, sacrifice yourself for your wife, and sacrificing yourself for your friend. And sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for ‘God’. Now, that doesn’t mean die in God’s place because God can’t die, but it does mean when the Gospel is not allowed you should still cling to the Gospel and even die for it. In the story of ‘Till we have faces’ by C. S. Lewis Orual kind of loved Psyche, but it was a selfish ‘love’, she tried to be kind to Psyche and she really expected kindness back, but it wasn’t that Psyche was being Unkind, she just wanted to go up to heaven, but Orual accused her of being unkind for leaving her, so that was a selfish ‘love’ (she was only kind to Psyche so she would be kind to her) so that wasn’t a true love. Thanks for reading come back for next time.

Hi again! I thought I should start doing a few post on the essays that I'm doing in my work. In September I've started doing 'Omnibus' which is a kind of study of the Bible. I've had to do lots of essays for 'omnibus'. For my first essay I'll tel you the 'friend essay' that I did.
Here it goes.

This is an essay about what a true friend is.

Like the words (love, normal and big), Friend can have many meanings. You might think of a friend as someone who you go out to clubs with and talk to regularly, you might of gone to a meeting and talk to someone and you come home and your mum said “Oh you’ve made a friend” when actually you just had a conversation with him. If someone asked you “what is a friend”? you might come up with one of these examples, but the question “what is a true friend”? is a bit trickier. There is really only one meaning for ‘a true friend’. In bible David and Jonathan were ‘true friends’, the bible says David loved Jonathan more than he did women; Now, that doesn’t mean he loved Jonathan in the same way man and wife love each other, (that is wrong) It meant they loved each other very much and cared for each other as well. True friends are very close, that doesn’t mean its wrong to have a conversation with someone at a meeting, it just means that isn’t a true friend. Thanks for reading. I hope its helped.

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, I haven't really been feeling like it! I thought today I should do a poem that I've edited. The poem is by the well known play writer 'William Shakespeare'. But I've edited some of it into my own words. First I'll tell you the original poem! It went like this:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer's lease hath too short a date". That was just a little bit of it. Now I will tell you my version.

"Shall I compare thee to a computer? Thou art more funny and sunny than the sun at night, And like a castles knight". I know it's not that good, it doesn't rime that much, but it's the best one I could think of. What do you think of it?

Hello again! This might be my final post on Photography! Yesterday it was my sixteenth birthday and one of the presents I got was a new tripod for my Camera, it was quite a strong tripod to. Its going to be far better now to do animations, and take Photos of the moon and stuff..............Anyway I told you on my previews post I would do a post on the type of camera that I have. The type of camera that I have is a 'Nikon D60'. It coasted a lot of money, but it was certainly worth it. As you might of seen on my other blog, { I have token very high quality Photos with this camera }. We went to greenfield yesterday to take pictures with my new tripod and we have token some quite nice Photos with it (I'll Upload them to my other blog soon)........ Anyway below is a picture of what my new camera looks like. Do you think it looks nice?

I've learn t many things with doing this cause, I've learn t that you can change the Camera quality to take a photo. I've started learning stuff like how to edit Photos on the computer using Photo Shop (a software which you can edit Photos and make them more colorful). You can have a ferly blared Photo and change it to a really well colored Photo and you wouldn't even notice its colored in, it is quite remarkably. We haven't got Photo shop. We've got Picasa, but its not the same as Photo shop, but you can brighten the pictures up a bit. You can also make one object clear but make the rest blared. I think that will do for now. On my next post hopefully I'll be talking about the type of Camera that I have.

I've given up on the holiday posts because its a bit late to start one now, I'll do another holiday post if you want, but I'm sure you won't want me to do one. I thought I should start doing a few posts on Photography. Me and my dad are doing a Photography coarse in Decide Collage. I've learn t many things with doing this cause, I've learn t that you can change the Camera quality to take a photo. But I'll speak a bit more about that on my next post. Below there are a few pictures of the cause. I know the3re not very good and I might put some better ones on here sooner or latter.

Hi again. Sorry that I haven't quite finished the holiday posts yet. There's still going to be a post of that soon, I thought I should just show you this animation that I've done. On the new Camera that I've got you can do stop motion animation on it, the same tipe of animation that I was planning to make Patrick the big bad creepy monster. I have recently started thinking that the film would never get made, but now, who knows? I am planning a new film which I am hoping to make to.

Here is two posts from my other blog which is about Photography.Photography from Alex: More photos from our holiday#links
Photography from Alex: Introduction#links

Hi again. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, my mind's been on other things. I thought today I would be talking about the funny stories which we had when we were on holiday in Cardigan. We had al lot of trouble putting the awning up, the wind was far to heavy for putting the awning up. Originally we got the owning up, BUT it didn't stay up for long. Poles kept falling down and one night the whole owning was falling down again and with difficulty we got it back up, BUT again it wasn't the last time. It happened again and again eventually we told the farmer about it and he came with a rope and a tyre to keep the awning up, it fell down again but that was when we were leaving so that didn't matter so much. I'm so sorry but I didn't get any pictures of the awning falling down but I did manage to get a picture of the rope which the farmer used, if you want to see it just look underneath this post. We also had a funny moment when we were leaving. The car with the caravan on the back wouldn't move so once again we told the farmer about it and he came back with a tractor and pulled the car with the caravan behind it. I'm sorry once again I haven't got a picture of it which is a pity because it would be quite interesting to see all three engines being pulled by each other.

These are two pictures of our caravan and awning which we stayed in when we were on holiday.

I have just got a new Camera, a expensive Nikon D60 Camera and we got it just before we went on Holiday in Cardigan so I thought I should start doing a series of posts on two subjects which are the holiday which I went on and Photography. When we went on holiday we took lots of Photos and when we got home Ben and Naomi sang some Psalms so I put the Psalms and some of the Photos together and I got quite a good video, you can watch it here. I have also crated a new blog which you can get to by going on the website for http://alexisdoingphotography.blogspot.com/

In about January this year I did a post about the Christmas Carol Banquet that we did. As I told you I was the Ghost of Christmas yet to come, I edited the picture and I painted myself to make me look more ghost like. Believe it or not, I didn't paint the whole face. I just added painted eyes and nose and mouth to it, it was quite a bleard photo so the face already looked that colour. I also painted over its cloak to make it look better. Do you like it? Because I quite like it but I know its scary.

Esther has made a really sily quiz about the lord of the rings, it is called the funny middle earth quiz. Aparently I was rubish which suprised me, you will probably be better than me.

You stink of Gollum

Quiz by TheQuizzery.com

I thought I should show you the video which me and my little sisters did the other day. It is about a Magician played by 'me' who can do all kinds of magical triks. Please comment and rate on what you think of it.

Next week we are planning to go on Holiday to Rora house in Devan. I'm sure some of you have been to Cefen Lee in Mid Wales. Rora house is a similar place to Cefen Lee, it is for Christan home educators.There are quiet a lot of people we know who are going like the Van Den Brooks and the Kinlokts. Please I beg you to post a common wile I'm away but don't expect a reply until I come back from the Holiday. I might also bring my Camera to Rora house so I can take Photos and load them on to my blog.

These are pictures of things done on Paint. Most of you probably think its to good to be Paint. I found a video on Utube that showed you how to use Paint. If you want to watch that video just go to the bottom of this post and you can watch it. It is very interesting and it should help you a lot. Please post a comment on what you think of them and tell me which one is the best.



I didn't think this one was as good as the others. Do you think its rubbish to?

I actually think this one is better than the third one. Do you think so to?

This is the latest picture I've done. What do you think of it?

This is the video I found that tells you how to do the Cartoons which I did so if you want to make pictures to you should watch it.

Esther found an interesting Personality Quiz which was Lord of the Rings. I was Sam who is a Hero. Please go on it.

What LoTR Character Are You?

I was just watching a few videos on you tube when I came across this video. It is a video of what happened in the middle of the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring. It is all about Gollum meeting Aragorn, I think it was original from a book by J. R .R Tolkien. If you would like to see the making of this film just click on the video and them click on more from Gollum or what ever the screen name is. I can't really remember what the screen name is but I hope you will know what I mean. Please watch it and post a comment on what you think.

Some of you might of alredy knowen that I was planing to make a film called Patrick the Big Bad creepy Monster. I had some trouble making it becuise the softwere we were useing wasn't really good enough. I had almost lost hope but I found some videos on you tube that were made on another softwere. I started to get really exited and almost at once looked it up on the Internet, I found it and it was free, it was just on the Internet.You can choose your own charicters and your own settings, even your own acsent on your charicter but that is not all. You can tipe up what you want your charicter to say and it will say it. I have to worn you there may be a few things in this film which you dont understand so just ask me. I have to worn you when the charicters dance it means they are waliking. At the end they danced but they were ment to be fighting. Plese post a comment if you've watched these and tell me what you think of them. If your intrested in the Animation that I did look up the website for http://www.xtranormal.com/object>

As I told you in my last post I can't tell you the story of Lord of the Rings because it would be to long but I decided instead I would give you a trailer of each film. Please watch, I tried to find a video of The Hobbit Oswell but I can't find one.This is the trailer of the Fellowship of the RingThis is the Two Towers tralerThis is the trayler of the Return of the King

Hello sorry I know I said I was going to tell you the story of The Lord of the Rings but I just can't be beavered. It would be to long and far to tiring for me to write down. If you would like to know a bit of the story them you will have to post a comment. Anyway I thought instead I would do a post on the future film of The Hobbit. The Hobbit as I'm sure you know is the one before The Lord of The Rings. It is hopefully going to be released in 2012 but there is a trailer on utube that sais it could be released in December 2009 but I seriously doubt it will. It is going to be directed by Peter Jackson, the same person who directed The Lord of the Rings which makes me feel good because it makes me feel like it is part of Lord of the Rings. My favourite character in Lord of the Rings is Golom and I'm happy to say he's going to be the same actor who plays Golom in the Hobbit and I think Gandol is going to be the same actor Oswell, but I think Bilbo is going to be a different actor from the person who played him in Lord of the Rings. There's a video on utube that sais that James Macirub might be acting as Bilbo in the Hobbit, he is the same person who played Mr Tumus in Narnia but I personal think it should be the same actor in the Hobbit because Bilbo had the ring for all that time so he wouldn't of looked any different. Please post a comment on what you think of this.

Hello again. My sisters Alice and Esther have recently got really into The Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Rings is my favourite film so I thought I should do a series of posts on Lord of the Rings. I have got the audio books of The Lord of the Rings so first I think I shall tell you about how I got the audio books. My Dad has the audio books of Lord of the Rings on tape and they are very precious to him. I had got the Narnia audio books in Christmas of 2005 and my Dad listened to them and he heard that they were dramatised by Brian Sibly and he said "Oh there dramatised by the same person who dramitised The Lord of the Rings, maybe I should let you listen to that". Daddy did let me listen to the Lord of the Rings and I really enjoyed them. As you might know the Lord of the Rings is in three parts which were all made into films but these audio books were in thirteen parts and they all had different names, each tape was one episode. Anyway I finished them and I told everyone that I really enjoyed them, I thought they were much better than the Narnia audio books. A year or two years later it was heading up to my fourteenth birthday and Mummy showed me these audio books on the Internet, they were A Series of Unfortunate Events If you want to hear about them you will have to read my earlier posts. Anyway me and my mum were in the car one day and we were talking about my birthday coming up and I said how much I enjoyed those Lord of the Rings audio books that Daddy lent me and she said she might try and get them for me but she also said they might be a bit expensive. Anyway mum told my Dad about me really liking Lord of the Rings and as soon as he heard he went on the Internet looking for them. He Finlay found a tin of them, they looked like the picture you can see up above. Mummy and Daddy had all ready ordered me the audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events so they told my Nanny about them so she got them for my birthday. When I say get them she didn't archly go on the website and order them, Mummy ordered them and Nanny gave Mummy the money for them. When they came through the post I realised that they were not in thirteen episodes but three. They had become like the films. I listened to them before I even started A Series of Unfortunate Events I once again I really enjoyed them. When I finished Lord of the Rings I listened to A Series of Unfortunate Events and I enjoyed them even more. In my Lord of the Rings they added some bits in from when they made Daddy's one's. Thanks for reading, this is going to be a series of posts about Lord of the Rings. On my next post I will tell you a bit of the story. Thank you.

You might of found out allot of stuff which I'm interested in on my blog but I think you might find more interesting things on my you tube page. In fact this is why I haven't been posting on my blog lately because Ive been doing other things.

III. VFD

A. What is VFD

1. Volunteer fire Department.

The truith is that we dont rely know for sure what VFD is. We think that VFD was once an organisation which stood for Volunteer Fire Department. VFD were people who put out fires when they were set but many years aftar there was a skisim. Some of the members turned evil so you couldn't tell who was good and who was bad. At one side of VFD were the one's who started the fires and the other side were people who put them out. You yosed to be able to tell people were part of VFD by there tattos but now you can never tell. Count Olaf was a member of VFD but he joined the bad side. I hath to warn you Count Olaf isn't the only enemy. There are people who are ekruly wicked or even worse. People like the man with the beard and no hair and the woman with hair and no beard which the Baudelaires met in the mountains.

IV. The Author

A. His name is Lemony Snicket

B. Snicket and his family

Lemony Snicket has one brother who's name is Jack and one sister who's name is Kit. Kit did get to meet the Baudelaires and she did get to know them. Jack met them for a little wile. The Snickets were members of an organisation known as VFD which meant they had a tattoo on there ankle like Count Olaf. Count Olaf was a member of VFD but he quitted with the skisim. Count Olaf tricked the Baudelaire home by pretending Jack Snicket was him but the Baudelaires new it wasn't Count Olaf but no one would listen to them. Count Olaf disguised him self as a detective and murdered Jack Snicket and pretended it was the Baudelaires. Lemony Snicket had dedicated his life to the Baudelaires but it is not recorded that he met the Baudelaires although it is possible that a mystery man in book 12 who tried to get the Baudelaires to go with him was lemony Snicket because Lemony Snicket said he new all about the taxi man.

C. He is actually a character that existed in the book who never appeared in the book

D. Meeting the Baudelaires

Lemony Snicket had dedicated his life to the Baudelaires but it is not recorded that he met the Baudelaires although it is possible that a mystery man in book 12 who tried to get the Baudelaires to go with him was lemony Snicket because Lemony Snicket said he new all about the taxi man.

On my last post I told you the story of how I got how to cheat a dragons curse and today I am going to tell you the story of how to cheat a dragons curse, I could tell you the story about all the other Hiccup books but I won't, not in this post anyway becuse it would be to long. Anyway I'm now going to tell you a bit of the story. One day Hiccup and his freind Fishlegs went out on a voyage and I can't remember what the voyage was about but they met all kinds of mystiryas people like a man called Nurbet the Nuchob who had been trying to kill them. Hiccup had throwen something in the middle of a part of Nurbet's body which made Norbet very angry. Hiccup tried very hard to run away from Norbet the Nuchob. Meanwile they came acros an enormas vorpent and they were trying hard to run away from this vorpent. Finaly they got back to the ship. If you buy this story on book or even audio book you might realise that this first bit of the story may not be exact but this first part is importent so I had to say it. Anyway qiute a bit aftar Hiccup noticed that there was something not qiute write with Fishlegs. He kept saying rude stuff to people and acting dum. Hiccup started to think Fishlegs was terribly ill. He spoke to his father who was the cheif of the hairy huligan tribe and his father said he was also wooried about Fishlegs which Hiccup thought was very unuseirel for his father who's name was Stuit to be wooried about anything. His father just said Fishlegs was a total weardo and told his son to keep away from him but Hiccup said "but father he's my best freind" Stuit replyed "keep away from him my boy. "Why don't you make freinds with Snotlout? Snotlout was a nasty boy who hated Hiccup. Stuit said to Hiccup "when I'm dead I want you to become the next cheif of the hairy huligan tribe so I can't let you going around making freinds with little weardos like Fishlegs so stay away from him. Hiccup was still sure there was something not write with Fishlegs so he spoke to an old man knowen as Old Rinkely about it. He took Fishlegs with him. Old Rinkaly was a person who maid people well when they were sick. Hiccup walked in and said "is there something wrong with Fishlegs? "he seems to not be him self latley" Fishlegs said "I'm fine, its just a cold". Hiccup ignored him and let Old Rinkaly take a look at him. Qiute a bit aftar Old Rinkaly said "Hiccup your Fishlegs has Vorpentitis" Hiccup looked shoked and Fishlegs said "I'm fine its just a cold" Hiccup ignored him saying "how do I cure him? Old Rinkaly replyed "the only way to cure Fishlegs is by the vegetible that no one dare's name. "The potato said Hiccup. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh said Old Rinkaly "your not seposed to say the vegitible that no one dare's name." Hiccup replyed "there's no such thing as the potato. Old Rinkaly replyed "There might be. "There have been people who say that there are some vegetibles that no one dare's name in a far away land knowen as America". Hiccup said "Even if there is such a place as America it is to far away and you told me that Fishlegs only had a few hours to live". Yes Old Rinkaly repled "but it is posible that Norbet the Nuchob may have a vegitible that no one dare's name. "Norbets father bileived that the world was not flat but round so he went out to prove it and he brought back a frozen vegitible that no one dare's name said Old Rinkaly". This is only a blog post so I'm not giving you all the details of the book becuse it would be to long and to tiaring for me to right down so I will just skip all this talking betwwen Hiccup and Old rinkaly and say what happend next. Hiccup went to tell his father about the posibility. He said to his father "father could we go on a qest". Stuit looked puziled saying "what kind of qest? Hiccup said Fishlegs has vorpentitise and the only medicine that can cure him is the potato" "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh said Stuit. "Your not seposed to name the vegitible that no one dare's name" "were not going to go on a qest for something that dosn't exist just to save a little weardo said Stuit. Hiccup replyed "It might exist, Old Rinkaly said that Norbet the Nucheb might of stolen a potato from a far away land knowen as America". Stuit replyed "There is no way I am letting you go to see Norbet the Nucheb to save a little weardo". Hiccup wasn't giving up on Fishlegs so he took a freind of his with him and he hook his dragon who's name was Tuithless with him and also took another dragon who's name was 1eye. I am not giving you all the details of this story becuis it would be to long so I will just say what happend when they got to Norbet the Nucheb. When they got there Hiccup tried to ask for the potato but Norbet wouldn't give it to him. He only sent Hiccup in prison. I am not going to tell you how Hiccup eskaped. If you want to know that you will hath to ask me in a comment or even better read it your self. When Hiccup eskaped he saw the frozen potato with an arow stook in it so he tried to get it out but it was so hard. Sudenly he saw Norbet the Nucheb chasing aftar him. As I told you Hiccup brought a freind with him, it was a girl named Camacarsy. She told Hiccup to leave wile she fought with Norbet. Hiccup didn't want to leave Camacarsy but he new she was a better fighter than him. Camacarsy was winning anyway. Norbet kept hathing to duck so he wouldn't get killed by this grate fighter. I can't qiute remember how this battle ended but if you want to know them plerse just leave a comment and I'm sure I could find out for you. Anyway some how Hiccup managed to pull thye potato with the arow in it out of the stone which it was in. I shall now just skip over to the end. If you want to know what happend in the middle them just leave a comment and if I can I shall tell you.

For Easter this year I got another audio CD which is called How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse by Hiccup Horrendous Haducc III. The story is about Hiccup Horrendous Haducc III. There is a series of books about Hiccup Horrendous Huducc III. Books like how to speak Dragonese, How to train your dragon, how to be a pyrite and how to twist a dragons tail. I'm not exactly sure which order they go in but all of these books are about Hiccup Horrendous Haducc III. I had listened to some of these audio Cd's because I am a member of the listening books company which means I get quite a lot of Cd's cooming all the time. As soon as I send one back they send one to me. One of the first Cd's I got from them was how to speak dragonese. Shortly after I got loads of other books by Hiccup Horrendous Haducc III and I shall now shorten his name to Hiccup. The one audio book I didn't get about Hiccup was how to cheat a dragons curse. We went to borders the other day and we started looking at all the books and audio books and I found all the Hiccup Cd's, There was how to speak dragonese, how to be a pyrite and how to train your dragon. I went looking through all the Hiccup Cd's and finally I saw a Hiccup CD that I hadn't heard called how to treat a dragons curse. I will tell you all about the story of how to treat a dragons curse on my next post.
