Deer adopted by greyhounds! and a great photo to go along with it!

Away with the sliotar!

My cat – first online photo with the new camera! Some manipulation done in the GIMP but it didn’t require much. Colour balance was fairly ok already, and only need to up the contrast to bring out more detail in the fur.

Hey Owen! Look here!

I relented today, gave into temptation and bought a Fujifilm 2800z! Initial impressions are very good. Image quality is amazing and writing even large 1600×1200 fine-quality images to memory takes only 2 seconds. Some of the comments here suggested the camera was weak in low light. I’ll agree the image looks blurry in the viewfinder but I took a couple of dark indoor photos successfully. I didn’t think the LCD screen was too dark indoors either, but perhaps the room wasn’t dark enough.
Image quality is amazing! Expect more photos on photosig from me!

I must install gThumb when I get home. It looks nice and I have to start organising my photographs soon!

Steve’s Digicams – Digital Camera Internet Resources – great links here, I especially liked Digital Photography For What It’s Worth because of the wealth of information it provides. Everything from beginners guides, to battery maintenance!

Interesting day today. I’m off work for a few days so I cycled around Blackrock with my camera.
Down in the Line I had the camera set up to snap two of the bridges that span that old railway line when two lads came down the path on their bikes. I asked them to pose for a photo while cycling, which they declined to do at first but later they came back and I snapped a pic of them (link later). I told them it was for a website and they went off. They came back shortly and asked how they could see the photo, so I tried to tell them about photosig, but rememebered that you need to become a member there to do most things, so..

“D’you know Google.com?”
“Yeah, we go there in school.”
“Right, do a search for my name, donncha, that’s d-o-n-n-c-h-a, my homepage is the second link, I’ll post a link there.”

With that, they went off.
Google just found another function: It’s now a means for total strangers to pass on complex information without resorting to pen and paper.

Search for this and you’ll find me.
