Introduction I recently bought a Zoom H1 handheld recorder. As such, it offers tremendous value for the money, and I would likely have kept it (despite the fact that the handling noise is really high and the stand-mount is just made of plastic and the threads may easily be destroyed). However, as it turned out, my sample with serial number 12xxx suffered from a high current drain when switched off. It consumed 47 mA, which means it will drain a normal Alkaline battery in 2-3 days....

Not many other lenses seems to generate as many heated discussions at sites like dpreview.com and nikonians.org as the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8. It is relatively expensive, and most people buying it rightly has high expectations for this Nikon top-of-the-line pro-grade fixed f/2.8 standard DX zoom. Let me say initially that I find it to be a very good lens, capable of rendering sharp, high-quality images, with beautiful color rendition and high contrast....

This page is a terse description of what I did to get my NSLU2 box to run samba, ntp, nfs and firefly (mt-daapd) stable and silently (i.e. with disk spin down). An out-of-the-box NSLU2 with the Linksys software appears to work well with my WD My Book Essential 500 GB. It spins down nicely. But… It does not support ntp, nor will it run firefly. So I installed the uNSLUng 6....

Making good images consistently obviously involves mastering many technical and artistic elements of photography. Nevertheless, sometimes applying a few principles can improve your photos a long way. Here are some simple hints and links that can help you handling some of the compositional issues. Read the links — I’m just summarizing the hints on this page: Nikonians First, at the Nikonians Composition 101, the following “tricks” are listed Center is not better Step closer Switch perspective Leave lead room Take three shots Next, on the same site, for landscape work, the following list is mentioned:...

Most people don’t like seeing themselves having too red, or especially magenta, skin tones. However, this easily happens, and the typical technical causes are either improper white balance, some sensor hypersensitivity at IR wavelengths, or possibly post processing trying to increase the saturation (”Velvia look”). When is it not right? But when is the red or magenta too much? Turns out there are easy rules in the CMYK colour space....

Welcome to my RSP profiles page Click here to download profile Introduction This page contains profiles for use with a D70 in Raw Shooter Premium 2006 from http://www.pixmantec.com.

One photoshop tip that I tend to forget from time to time is from Dan Margulis, and have appeared on the colortheory mailing list. Here it is, copied verbatim from Dan’s mail and also accesible via the mail list archive. BTW, do buy and read Dan’s books if you’re into colour theory. They are really excellent, and will keep you busy for days… Folks, Since finishing PP5E, I’ve been putting together some of my own photo albums so that my wife and I can remember some of the interesting places we’ve been over the years....

Introduction I wrote the following at a time when I was struggling to find a good and coherent lighting overview. The information below is probably still valid… but there is a better and more coherent alternative, which I’m going to recommend you. Get this book: Light – Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting (3rd ed), by Fil Hunter, Steven Biver and Paul Fuqua. It is probably the only book you will ever need on lighting....
