White seamless

Making white really white is not always easy. Or, to be more precise, shooting on a white seamless background, trying both to make it truly white and at the same time getting the foreground correctly exposed, is a delicate balance. If you underexpose the background, it will not be white and there will be a lot of photoshop’ing needed. If you overexpose it, you will probably have a lot of flare and reduced contrast and also quite some photoshop’ing to be done…...

Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8

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....

A silent NSLU2

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....

The making of a front-page candidate

The picture above illustrates the theme “Pass It On!”. Click on it to see a larger version. I had this idea of a relay race, with a dad passing on the baton to his son — only in this case, the baton would actually be a Bible. First problem to overcome was to find a course with clear track marks, to show clearly what is going on even with a tight crop....

Rainy days…

So June ended up being the wettest month ever recorded in history. 150mm rain appeared around here, and most of this fell in the later part of the month — and probably half of it in one or two rather wet days. However, rain is not bad for photography, and often gives nice photo opportunities, if one resists the temptation to stay inside. Here is one shot, done with the 105mm f/2....

Macro shot or Danish Palm Trees…

… ok, in case you don’t know: There aren’t terribly many palm trees living natively in Denmark, and this is probably as close as you get to such a thing — with “close” here of course having a subtle dual-meaning, since it is a macro shot 😉 It may be a slightly unusual macro shot, but it is depicting a leaf on an oak tree in our garden, just about to unfold, with the setting sun in the background....

Disk crash…

I guess it is inevitable… hard disks crashes from time to time. Mine did at least, and it isn’t even the first crash that has happened on me. So… restoration from backups and from Google’s cache is ongoing. If you’re looking for something that should have been here or at www.citykirken.dk, you may be right: It probably should have been. But if it isn’t, I may still be working to recover it, or I may have forgotten to restore it — or have lost it totally....
