    16/09/2016: Diamond Creek
    I was running on fumes. I had been up until nearly 1am the night before taking photos of my car, uploading them and posting here. Then I had to be out the door at 6:30am for uni... F**k...

    Uni was supposed to go from 8-10am, but finished at 9:15. I made a quick run past Greensborough to pick up some stuff I needed for that night, and to pay some bills, then went home to pack some things for that night. Once I had done everything I needed to do, I had some free time (where I should have been working on assignments, but being a good student isn't my strong point...)

    I called one of my mates who lived in Diamond Creek and asked if he was keen on going for a walk, so I could take pictures. And that we did...

    Spoiler:







    After I took this photo, the dog jumped up and started barking at me. I wish I had a zoom lense so I could get a little closer to it.









    Every year around Christmas time, I play Christmas Carols with a band underneath that tree. Done it three times so far. The second time, some little s**t stain kids intentionally broke a tree branch above my car. Wasn't happy...











    It took us about ten minutes to cross this field, because of how flooded it was...




    Yes, I played on the train tracks. Don't tell my mother. In all seriousness, before I went anywhere near them, I checked my phone for the timetable. The next train wasn't for half an hour, and one had just gone past, so I wasn't going to get hit by a late train.







    When we got here, my mate told me to look in one of the little Asian shops. At first I couldn't be bothered, but I'm glad he insisted. We hit a goldmine...



    @Pokemon Trainer Sarah @Suicune's Fire @Lunar Latias, you gotta check this place out. Probably more Sarah and Xanthe since it is nearer their hoods. But still very cool. And some of the stuff looks licensed, or very close, eg the costumed pikachus. If I didn't need to get work done on my car this monday, I'd have gotten them Hoenn badges (even if they're out of order). Anyway, moving on.

    STRAYA!


    I got back to my car parked at my mates place, feeling tired as hell, and drove to church whilst I waited for the band to arrive for band practice. Whilst I waited, I messed around with the lights, and took some pictures.

    Then we had the youth boys sleep over. Didn't get many decent pictures, because people were moving too fast for me to manual focus and the auto focus was messing up. At first I didn't realize why, but the next day I was talking to the cameraman from church. He said he was having trouble getting his video camera to autofocus on the stage, as well as the other blokes camera. He figured out it is the LED lighting. Because of the different shape of the light waves (from what I gathered) the autofocus can't pinpoint what to focus on. The house we were at for the sleepover is fairly new, and the guy who lives there is pretty loaded, so he'd probably have LEDs throughout the whole place. I managed to get manual focus for this shot though.


    That's all folks. We watched a movie, played Halo and got to bed at 1am. I got to sleep at nearly two from having to hit one of the youth kids with my pillow every time he'd talk until he finally got the message to shut up...
