Magnifique ! Le NC10 de Samsung se révèle être à la hauteur de beaucoup d’attentes de Blogeeeistes ! La machine est en effet livrée avec beaucoup de fonctionnalités intéressantes. Je viens de recevoir sa fiche technique et une photo grand format de son clavier qui me plait de plus en plus. A peine quelques minutes après l’apparition du Samsung NC10 en ligne, je reçois la fiche technique de la machine et elle répond à beaucoup ...

Adobe, Apple, Canon, Microsoft, Nokia and Sony have published a set of guidelines for handling image metadata.

If you want to take really quick & sneaky photographs on the street without putting your eye to the viewfinder, here’s a sneaky trick. Setting your lens in manual focus mode, and setting it at its Hyperfocal distance will allow you to take photographs with a great deal of flexibility, often allowing you to shoot from your hip, or while supporting the camera on a steady surface. Very un-obtrusive. Remember that Hyperfocal distance works best ...

You ONLY step through if: 1. You’ve clipped out of the left pedal already and are riding on the arch of your foot. 2. It’s a fast approach to the barrier so you have sufficient time to set up and coast. The default dismount is to clip out of the left first, and just step off around the back with the right foot. That works every time, in every situation. Option 2 is to stay ...

Just south of the art town Carmel lies Big Sur, probably the most majestic meeting of land and sea in California. It’s been painted by many artists over the past 100 years. Unfortunately, it’s also been scared by the recent fires this summer. I don’t know what the area looks like today, and am a little hesitant to go back. How’s it changed? if you live in the area, chime in, let us know… This ...

On the first day of a photojournalism class at Syracuse University in 1998, our teacher, Professor David Sutherland, told us all to stand up with our cameras. He gave the order like a military drill sergeant. We stood up. “When I point at you,” he said, “take my picture. If you do it right, you can sit down.” Only one person was allowed to sit. Everyone else, all 10 or so of us, failed. We ...

网页中经常要做的一件事情就是让一个链接来执行一个 JavaScript 脚本，例如：< href="#" onClick="some_js_here();">Some text</a>，不过这样的副作用是因为有 href="#"。所以导致点击完后页面会滚动到最上面。 以前用的几种解决方案： 不写 href，这样会导致很多浏览器不会把 a 标签按照你预期的方式渲染； 在href 里面直接写 JavaScript 脚本，这样不完全符合 W3C 的规范。 其实要解决这个问题，不让浏览器把页面滚动到最上面，很简单，href="" 里面 多写几个 # 就行了，我一般用 6 个比较保险，这个方法适用于 IE5、IE6、IE7、FF2、FF3。虽然不知道为什么但是很好用。猜测是因为 # 表示进行页内书签的跳转，但是多个 # 浏览器就不知道什么意思了，干脆罢工好了，哈哈。

嗯其实我只不过是随便从猫gg那里看到了Blog Day这个东西。不过也不会按这里的指示说的，推荐五个新blog并通知它们的主人等等了……至于那个instruction上面说的，post the blog day blog post还要链接到伊们的站点，云云，更像是viral blogging，或者赤果果的SEO罢了…… 嗯，point就是,其实米国嚼三明治的同学们祖国大陆吃米饭的同学们,在网路上都一样无聊。比如前几天在某免费发放的学生小报上看到某网站（不记得了，用***代替）的广告： What's your business on the web? Facebook, porn and ***. 把facebook换成校内，嗯，是不是完全一样呢。看到水母或者买买提上有人说facebook是米国学生找ons的地方就像校内是中国学生找ons的地方……刚才等公共汽车的时候碰到一个光着膀子骑儿童自行车的小学生size的黑人小孩找我要10美元，并且讲了一大堆money is good之类的理论。虽然我没听太懂，不过还是不觉得他们的境界就比我们高哪里去。 然后我和某同学的确在BIOP401课后，听某俄国美女老师用带开音节的口音讲解了一小时概率统计入门（这时才意识到，何书元爷爷的书多好啊）晕头转向时，去Jimmy John's买了三明治吃，然后就被囧到了。于是去超市买了一大堆菜。做了一个礼拜工序比较简单的东北菜，终于决心做川菜了。于是炒了个双椒鸡丁，用了两砣鸡腿和一点五砣那种大大圆圆的菜椒（嗯，虽然也有那种长条状的辣椒，但是看到产地是墨西哥就作罢了）。然后发现，八砣鸡腿只要9刀左右，三砣红黄绿（交通灯状？）菜椒则用了4刀，算下来，这盘菜里的辣椒比鸡腿还贵，而且因为没有剁骨头的刀，我还直接把肉剔了下来，把骨头敲碎炖了一小锅汤……情何以堪啊。还有就是，黄辣椒的确没有红辣椒和青辣椒好吃。 最后附上做法供参考： 原料： 鸡腿，辣椒，姜，蒜，花椒，盐，芡粉，味精，料酒，酱油，油，水 步骤： 1. 鸡腿和辣椒（为了卖相，最好是有绿色和红/黄色的各一些）都洗净，切成2cm左右的见方的丁。姜刮皮切丝。 2. 把切好的鸡腿加入料酒，盐，酱油（只是为了上色用，喜欢发白颜色的可以不加），姜丝，芡粉，拌匀，腌半个小时以上。 3. 大火，先热锅，再热油，多放点儿油以防粘锅。鸡肉倒进去翻炒至你觉得它熟了，而且把锅里的水分蒸干（有水分时，油是不透明的），捞出来。 3. 锅里只留少量油，把蒜和花椒放进去爆香，挑出花椒，再把鸡肉回锅翻炒。炒热后再放青椒，炒熟。 4. 再加一点点水，约30ml即可，翻炒，然后中火焖至水干（和前面同样的判据），加盐，加味精，再拌匀。出锅。 5. 鸡腿可以熬汤，不过一定要加一些姜片一起熬。熬汤时最好也丢一小块鸡的脂肪组织在里面。 嗯，纯粹是无聊地蛋疼而已。不过自己的手艺的确还是不错的，哼哼。

Change Management is a bit of a black art here in New Zealand and seems to be muddled through with varying levels of success which tend, unfortunately, to be towards the "it didn't really work" end. Why is this, a combination of these and probably many others: Kiwis are famous for using the number 8 wire for everything Kiwis are famous for just getting on with it Most Kiwis operate in a small environment and ...

Not everyone who reads this website is ready to record or release an album. I’m impressed by the number of emails I get from people who have stumbled across this site shortly after finding themselves in their first band. And not everyone plays everything as well as they’d like to be able to. The best advice I could give is: log out of Facebook, switch off your computer, go and pick up your instrument and ...

I recently read this article on “eye dominance” and photography, and it made me curious. Even since the first time I picked up a camera I’ve instinctively used my left eye for the viewfinder- I never really thought about it. I’m primarily right handed, but I find I do a lot of things “lefty” (play hockey, bat, shoot etc…) Anwyay, I did the little “eye dominance test” and lo and behold it turns out I ...

I recently started to offer digital packages to my clients. I hesitated originally because I really wanted to control the prints AND I was afraid that clients were going to expect them to be a lot less than ordering prints which didn't make sense to be from a business perspective because they are still a lot of work (assuming you retouch all the proofs you give your clients). So now I offer them and they ...

Note: this is the final part of a 4 part series - PART 1 - basics PART 2 - manual flash PART 3 - TTL wireless Let’s talk about sync speed. Sync speed is probably the most misunderstood topic for folks starting out with off-camera lighting, and for good reason. There is a ton of seemingly contradictory information out there, misinformation, disinformation and downright wrong information… but really it’s not all that complicated, so let’s ...

I ran a flickr contest based on my white seamless tutorial here on the blog. If you are a new reader, you can find the multi-part photography tutorial in the technique category. I had a very difficult time placing the top 3. Actually, I had a difficult time placing third place because the first and second place winners stood out. My rule for judging this contest was the image had to pop out at thumbnail ...

Sometimes we tend to forget the obvious in our quest for the hidden. Here are a few ‘obvious’ tips to remember when shooting on the streets. Get In close. All too often the actual ’subject’ of a street photograph gets lost in the activity going on around… Get close to the subject, make them the primary object in your frame. Be observant. Street photography is all about observing people, their actions and juxtapositions. Keep your ...

lamps project beautiful shadows across walls or ceilings.by Peter Buning.

Some of you may recall a painting from a few weeks ago similar to the following. Yes, it's the same place -- the tail-end of Lake Glensevern at Herring Cove Provincial Park -- with a slightly different composition. I really enjoy the big, dark masses of spruce that dot the barrier beach by the lake; they make it easy to create an interesting composition. More interesting this time, however, were the rich colors in the ...

J’ai changé il y a quelques temps de freebox en abandonnant ma vieille V4 pour passer à la V5 HD dernière génération livrée avec les CPL. Tout content j’ai pu enfin installer le boitier multimédia au côté de mon téléviseur. Quelques essais rapides m’ont permis de faire le tour avec satisfaction des différentes possibilités du boitier multimédia de FB HD. Mais lorsque, ayant le temps, je me suis lancé à regarder un ou deux films, ...
