- Load up an image with a lot of greenery.
- Fire up the Channel Mixer. I don’t know where it is in Photoshop, but in the GIMP it’s in Filters->Colors->Channel Mixer.
- Slide the green bar down a small bit and move the blue bar up a bit. Values of 100, -33, 47 worked for me.
- Green grass looks much more vibrant and healthy!

In the Taxi Rank
Today, over 60 traders set up stalls on Patrick’s Street as part of the Slow Food Festival. Not everyone had a good day today though..
Martial Arts Demonstration in Midleton
A few weeks ago we went down to Midleton for their Food and Drink Fair. The place was packed with people and I got lots of shots. Here are a few of the martial arts demo we passed near the end of the day:
I wish my camera recorded milliseconds. All shots below were taken at 15:49:45.. The Canon 20D rocks!
Converting RAW files to Jpeg, Nautilus Style
Further to my previous attempts to convert RAW files to Jpeg, here’s a Nautilus script based on this script. How do you use it? The g-scripts FAQ has more, although in Ubuntu I had to copy the script into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
This script uses “Zenity” to display a nice progress bar while the conversion takes place.
#!/bin/bash(while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
dcraw -c -a -n -h $1 | ppmtojpeg > `basename $1 cr2`jpg
echo $1
shift
done) | zenity --progress --pulsate --text "Converting RAW files to Jpeg"

Cork Ladies Mini Marathon 2005 Pictures
The Cork Ladies Mini Marathon took place last Sunday and we were blessed with a beautiful sunny sky and a warm day!
I arrived just before the start with Matt and we struggled through the crowd to get to the front before the race started. I held my camera high trying to get crowd shots when my attention was caught by a young woman who asked me if I wanted to get some shots from upstairs! I followed her and another man into their office where they let me capture the crowd from high up!
What’s it like to have dozens of people cheering and waving at you? Look at the pictures below to find out! Personally, I was on a high and couldn’t believe my luck!
I forgot to get the names of the couple who helped me but one or both of them work for Oran Group whose office was where I shot from. Hopefully they’ll leave a comment here!
Later… Thanks Christine for letting me into the office!
Pictures from last year are also available. It was a lot more fun this year though!

I figured out a handy trick for making dodge/burns more natural. Blur the layer containing your burn/dodge work which will remove any distracting marks!
Maybe I should write a small tutorial on that one..
