And the World Will Live As One
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine - John Lennon
Well, it has been in the rain before, but I thought it'd like some shelter for once.
But at the end of the day (night, technically) it was hella fun to sit there and watch. And cheer.
It was the wicked and wild wind, that blew the doors and let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I've become.

Amazing, isn't it, what divides, what unites. The one thing that's supposed to unite millions can separate two. Well, a guy can dream. Can imagine, anyway.
Anyway. Today I decided to stay in college and watch the Volleyball tourney, partly because Mel was in it, partly because I wanted to see if I could take photos, and partly because, well.. because. Plus, it's been a while since I've watched a live sport, and cheered, too, now that I think about it. Well, in a competition, anyway.
So yeah. It was very fun. I have little to no knowledge about the game, aside from the fact that one is supposed to hit the ball over to the opposing team, and not let the ball touch the ground on one's own side. That about sums up what I know. So I managed to learn a few things, like you could use your other body parts, and such. Hahaha. Mmmmm interesting.
The photos, well, to be frank they sucked. Ahhhh it was horrible. Most if not all were shot in RAW (because I thought I could boost the EC up by a stop or two, and also remove noise more effectively). Apparently it didn't turn out so well, anyway. Sigh, the woes of inexperience, bad lighting and a slow lens.
Photo stats (All were shot with this setting):
Camera : 40D
Lens : 24-70 2.8L
Mode : Manual
ISO: 3200
Aperture : 2.8
Shutter Speed : 1/320
