First Viewer

Ok, that was fast, the first guy was from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland. Some random dude just stumbled onto my blog. Well thanks for stopping by!

New Blog Counter!

Yeah baby! I found a spiffy new blog counter! Now I can see how many people are actually bored enough to check out my blog. If you're curious, just check the bottom of the page and you'll see how many people have viewed this blog, starting from today. I'll be telling you who logged in first when it occurs, although that might be next july.

FYI, the counter doesn't take into account my views. So it only counts everyone else who comes here.

Until then, take care.

Photography and Photoshop

Well, I finally decided to take up photography. I'd been a bit reluctant because I couldn't afford a decent digital slr until now. Prices are dropping faster than Sony's stocks, and I'm about to bite the bullet. I have my eyes set on a Canon 400D.

But for now, I'll have to make due with my standard point and shoot camera, and I'm learning the ropes when it comes to photshop postprocessing. Let me give you guys an example. I took the following picture in april through a balcony in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

Yeah, the weather sucked. I know. But the picture seemed a bit interesting nonetheless. The edge of the wall on the left side was tilted and wasn't completely vertical and the rail at the bottom wasn't horizontal either, so I corrected that. And then I used my photoshop magic to get the contrast out, and fix all that flatness in the colours and that uninspiring greyness. Et voila!

Look at the clouds! Blue White Red, like the french flag, and I didn't do that, that was in the picture btw.

Hope you like it, until next time.

Cheers

What's up with hanging up in movies?

Ok, I'm sorry, but I get soooooo pissed when I'm watching a movie or a show, and somebody hangs up without saying "bye" or something. I mean really, if I'm in the middle of a conversation with my pal and he hangs up just like that, I'd get pissed, it's like totally rude. I don't understand why directors keep making such a glaring omission, I mean, is it because it makes the movie flow better? I don't know, but it sure as hell doesn't mimic real life.
