The Digital Journalist – March 2005

Heads up – The Digital Journalist is out!

Ardmore Village and Round Tower

Following on from Frank’s suggestion a few days ago I took a trip down to Ardmore yesterday!
Alas, I have a sorry tale to tell, my trusty Sony 717 camera may have shot it’s last photo. It now sees nothing but black and I’ll have to inquire about getting it fixed. Missed the beautiful sunset later of a blazing red ball of flame setting over Youghal later too! *sob*

Road Narrows Ahead

There’s already a stretch in the evenings! This photo was taken a short distance from this one but an hour later. Roll on the long lazy days of summer!

Distant Hills

While many parts of Ireland had to deal with several inches of snow yesterday, it was a lovely day in Cork.

FOTO.com – 9 Euro Cent Photos!

Has anyone used foto.com to print their photos? Prices seem to be too good to be true!
I received an email from Pixaco who now ship to Ireland. They’re very competitive too with prices starting at 14 Cent/photo!

James Blonde – Super Spy

Shocking night in Kinsale on Saturday. Happy birthday Justin! Anyone else see this secret agent around the place? He was keeping a low profile and so hard to spot.

GIMP Lomo Examples

mF’s GIMP Lomo script that I mentioned already works a treat with the settings he suggested! It works fine in GIMP 2.2 and here’s an example to prove it! Daffodils pictured by the Ballincollig Bypass in Co. Cork a few days ago.

Going Home

Pictured on the Grand Parade on a freezing cold evening a few days ago.
This is the first time I used the perspective tool to shuft a photo slightly because I wasn’t in the exact middle of the frame!

Digital memories: we can forget them for you wholesale!

Good article from The Register on how volatile and prone to loss our digital data is. Who’ll keep our data safe after us? Digital Banks? Will our descendents have photo albums to look at?
