Hey guys, just watched NinjaCamel's video with his Diablo (very sweet btw dude!) and listened to DJ-M4R1O's track he uploaded and I thought I'd make a thread of the skills we have at home, not the WA related ones we all share but the things that make us unique.
Well I'm a drummer, and can post some things about my band if people are interested but for now here's just a vid of me having a little play a few years ago.
Post up links, vids etc to your work :)
lol nlF ambassador on fire ;D
Well ever since i became a father in October 2009. I've dedicated my life to that, personally i dont find any greated honor/priveledge in life to that.
The smile on my daughters face when she sees me is priceless, and the laugh when shes having fun is also brilliant.
hey cool drumming m8 I am also a drummer, vids of ur band would be nice!

Very nice drumming. I agree. You barely lost time and some of those runs were hard. I'm not a drummer but I thought I noticed some 1/32 length strikes which I understand to be pretty hard.
;O
I play the piano although don't get as much time as I'd like to play these days.
Here's a vid of me playing Final Fantasy VII theme. Turn the volume up because the video is a little quiet for some reason :<

+1 :) No one without kids will understand. It's the best feeling in the world! :)
I'm fond of everything optics-related, especially photography and astronomy!
Here are some of my favourite shots 8)

That's nice
CJ, and certainly a good passion to have dude. I look forward to the day I can say the same about myself (the way my wife is talking atm I don't think I will be able to put it off much longer)
Thx
NaiL, I will post some soon, I would imagine it will be some older live footage but I'll put some up anyway. Have you got any vids of you playing?
Cueshark that vid is awesome bro, I have tried my hand at the keys a few times but it's just never really clicked with me. Beautiful instrument though. The clip I posted of me was just a jam really, I have never sat down and really learned that piece so it is a little sketchy in a few places but yeah anything by Machine Head is pretty tricky to play. I'm ok at 32nd note fills etc as I have been playing for near 15 yers now, but I just started work on poly-rhythms.. now that's hard! playing 2 seperate time signatures at the same time. Makes my face melt, but I'm getting it :)
Barman those pics are amazing, like Maciej said the 1st one especially is particularly beautiful. Where was that shot?
Thanks ;)
All pics are mine. The first one is from Plitvice Lakes in Croatia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plitvice_Lakes_National_Park).
I think I know where I am going on vacation next :D

cool barman :)
what's the most interesting thing you ever caught on your telescope?
did you add some effect to that first pic??? it almost seems like a fairy tail of a place... is there some blurr effect thing going on? or is the land and water just that pure?
What would the world be without passions? without all the things that make you feel good, here we are more than nicknames, we are people in search of our dreams!
Very nice drumming JayX and thank you for the post :)
CJ and Rabbit I am not a parent so I can not understand what you feel, but I can only wish you happiness and good luck with your family. :)
Beautiful solo Cueshark you are very talented dude, by the way nice song "I am a noob" :P
Barman what a beautiful places!! i love the second one xD and the first one is special for a big wormnet meeting :D

Its crazy isn't it? even the little things, like with me, when i watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6TBAedCxss with her, as much as it drives me crazy, i find it amazing how she learns off it, and then shows me what shes learnt, it really is a undescribable feeling.
Her second birthday is at the begining of October, and im completly lost as to what to do with her, she likes that many things etc it really is a tricky thing, plus i have to be careful that whatever i do, her mother hasnt got the same things planned for when i give her back later in the afternoon.

Since I live in an urban area and the light pollution is quite severe, I focus on observing Solar System bodies. Saturn is my favourite planet, really similar to what it looks like on photographs - except it's real :)
From non-Solar System bodies, the Orion Nebula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Nebula) and M13 cluster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_13) are bright enough to make everyone's jaws hit the ground even when observed from a city.

Of course, there's some post-processing involved. No camera will ever give you such a picture straight out of the box. ;)
The Orion Nebular looks amazing! I'd love to spend an evening scanning the sky with a bit of pro equipment seeing what I could see. Must be an amazing thing dude, to be fair though I bet I could not get much peace while doing it, my friend is obsessed with this stupid "Nibiru" thing and would keep asking me to look for it to see if he is going to die in 2012.. nab :D
I think I may do a drum piece to the WA theme song to put up, given the amount of musicians here I bet we could all record a little piece ourselves and put them all together to make a "people of WA" rendition of the song.
Me - Drums
NAiL - Drums
Cueshark - Keys / Guitar
Ka1ser - Keys
Where are all the guitarists / Bass players etc out there?
Maybe this needs it's own thread xD
edit: fb link doesn't work :X
Very cool videos. More ppl should upload videos and their own passions here!
My passion is music too, I love keys, guitar and sing... :)
Turko. Music makes me FGM ;)
My passion:
Playing polo.
