What's your real passion?

[JayX]

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

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.

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


And a hand-drawn sketch of Jupiter as seen through my telescope:


I'm going on some celestial hunting tonight as well

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?

 

[barman]

Thanks
All pics are mine. The first one is from Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.

I think I know where I am going on vacation next

cool barman 

what's the most interesting thing you ever caught on your telescope?

[avirex]

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?

[mae]

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"

Barman what a beautiful places!! i love the second one xD and the first one is special for a big wormnet meeting

Long exposure time I believe.
