I should have included these 50 tips in yesterday’s round-up of PP links. Great stuff there, so go take a look at their front page!

Mark posted links to several PP articles, some of which I’m interested in!

• Blur Busters! – about the new anti-shake/vibration technology in cameras. Nice.
• Divorce, Digital Style – hehe. Made me smile, could be useful if I want to resurrect some of my old photos!
• The Photoshop Makeover – Nip/Tuck begone! I can do the same on my PC!
• Darkroom vs. Desktop – a fun look at the differences between them!

In this 2-part tutorial Ken Milburn explains why you should be sharpening images 3 times, not just once! This goes against everything I’ve read on the subject so I’m willing to give it a try later!
Ken has also written several other articles too.

These boats lay quietly in the shallows, away from the maddening crowds at the weekend.

At the beach, a nice picnic, beautiful sunshine and great company. What more could a guy ask for?

It’ll be worth it in the end, but Cork City is a city under construction right now. The drainage works came first, then a re-design of the City Centre streets. Oliver Plunkett St. (where this photo was taken) is showing promise already, as long as they don’t tarmac over the nice brickwork laid into the street surface. That’s almost bound to happen like it did in Paul St.

I had never heard of him but the news is popping up all over the place. Here’s the photo.net post about it.
Andy Williams posted some great photos, “to mark the passing of a truly great photographer, and someone whom i so greatly admire”, and linked to a lot of threads on b&w conversion and an interesting tri-x tutorial.
Quarlo.com has some great photos up, again! Love the saturated look of his photos!
Mark describes him as, “One of the best-known photographers in the world” so just goes to show what I know.

I notice things. I can’t help it, but I do. Quite often I’ll miss the obvious but give me the obscure any day!
On the way to and from work last week I noticed a portaloo in the middle of a field! Everyday I meant to stop and take a few snaps of it, but I didn’t get around to it until Friday evening when it was being removed by this guy and his lorry!
No I have no idea why it was there!

Last week flying ants came out in their millions and disrupted Irish life for a few days while they danced their mating dances! I was outside the office and spotted this lot coming out of their nest. It’s fitting that last weekend was the warmest this year! The average temperature was around 25deg C. Dry, dead heat!
