Road Narrows Ahead

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?
DIY Flash Diffuser
One of the tips here is using the end of a shampoo bottle as a flash diffuser. Must remember to try that one. I like the idea of using a Nokia hands-free lead as a remote control for the Canon 300D! I wonder would something similar work for my 717?
Then I went searching and found all sorts of interesting things!
Oh yes. a few more tips for you. View source if you don’t want to watch the annoying vertical scroller!
GIMP Lomo Plugin
mF posted a Lomo plugin for the GIMP. His example images on flickr look good but I haven’t been able to get the script to run in GIMP 2.0, will try in GIMP 2.2 tonight.
script-fu: Error while executing
(load “/home/donncha/.gimp-2.0/scripts/lomo2.scm”)

Use either “<Toolbox>”, “<Image>”, “<Load>”, or “<Save>”
Update! Here is a GIMP Lomo plugin that works in GIMP 2.4!
Seashore – GIMP derived Cocoa app
Seashore is described as, “an open source image editor for Cocoa. … based around the GIMP’s technology” which is a boon for some but others will run screaming for the hills. 🙂
