Rymus picks up on the story of a young Cork girl who’se gone missing. I heard her mother talking on the radio earlier and they’re obviously very worried about her.

Restore Those Clipped Channels
Now, here’s a horribly interesting article for you digital photography buffs – but make a cup of tea for yourself before you read, it’s a bit involved as it ‘s a little advanced!
Mid-Summer at the Half Moon
Good weekend all?
We went to the Half Moon on Friday night for the midSummer Festival and a great night it was too! Fred and other bands were playing, and weren’t disappointed! Buy the Echo on Thursday, or at least take a look through it, there may well be a photo of Jacinta, me and Joe in there somewhere!
Pity the Cube was so quiet later, but the Old Oak was buzzing even if some lad took a shine to me for some reason!
Gmail Invites, who wants them?

The Who Hates Who Of The Technology World
Heh. This is a list of who you shouldn’t invite to your next party, at least together.
How A Man Lives
This is not a tale about how a man happened to die in Swope Park on a Sunday afternoon back when Taft was President. This is a story for any year about how a man … lives.
Misc Photography Stuff
Mark on PhotographyBLOG linked to several interesting articles recently..
- White Balance – but he missed the most useful wb tip I know: Use the “Cloudy” setting when you’re outside. No matter if it’s sunny or cloudy this setting will make your photos appear richer in colour! Make sure you change the white balance when you go inside though. I always forget!
- Photos of Holland – I like the “Just Married” one, especially considering the last photo!
- Histogram Tips – I thought I had linked to this before, but the date says June 17, 2004 so who am I to argue? Lots here. Worth delving into.
- Beyond Megapixels – 3 articles that I think were linked from /. were they?
- Boring Photographs are the bane of every photographer, but we all go through stages where we just lack that extra something that helps us take great photos!
Via Blogsnob, I came across this photoblog – good photos and interesting techniques displayed! His Collaborative Site is an interesting idea. Hmm.
Further on the histogram topic, Garret linked to this article explaining and giving examples of histogram usage! Looks good, my LCD screen and even EVF aren’t very good at figuring out if an image is too dark or not.
Great photos on this blog, love this entry!
