Woo! Redbubble are offering 15% off all framed and canvas prints until the 27th. The promotion has been running for the last few days but they only emailed everyone this morning. Grrr. Anyway, if you’re interested in a print, leave a comment on this post with the url of the photo and I’ll do my [...]
I noticed this morning that F-Spot 0.6.0 came out a few days ago. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m downloading it now. Unfortunately if it requires any dependencies not present in Ubuntu Jaunty I’ll leave it for another day, or until a .deb exists. I don’t have time to go chasing this stuff any [...]
Here’s a possible route for our 2 hours photowalk around Cork today: Start at the GPO, near the big A marker above. Head south (down) to the river to Morrison’s Quay where we can shoot Holy Trinity and the river bank of the South Channel. Head west towards Sullivans Quay where we can shoot Parliament [...]
Spencer Tunick’s Irish photos might be online but you wouldn’t know it as the site is down, probably from the rush of people trying to see their neighbours or friends in the nip. Oops. Should have done a deal with Pix.ie! I did manage to grab one image off there this afternoon and Vic has [...]
On July 18th, photographers all over the world will be holding photowalks. There’s going to be events in Belfast, Dublin and Cork that day, and who knows. Might be a few more around the country by the time that day arrives! I’ve just filled in a few details on the Cork Photowalk page on the [...]
It’s about time I posted this. Months ago this photo on Flickr was spammed by a company selling “all of categories for industries and life”. I’m sure he never looked closely at the title of the image or translated it in to his local language.. Flickr Support promptly removed this individual’s comment and replied, Dear [...]
It’s about time I released this script. I announced last December I had written a script for the GIMP to create the border and copyright message seen on my photos here. Previously I used a 704×490 empty image with the border and message (and a similar image for portrait shots). That was fine for uncropped [...]
A few days ago I offered visitors to my blog the chance to win free prints of any of my images. I’m very happy with the response. 27 entries but alas there can only be 2 winners. So, who wins the free prints? I’m delighted to say that Claire gets the mounted print, and Debbie [...]
I could go into some of the horror stories about photos I’ve lost or about how a disk crashed just before I copied the files off, but we’ve all been in that situation where we’ve lost important stuff when a disk decided to go belly up. This might not be of much use to you [...]
Matt reminded my wife that the National Geographic Channel were showing the Jetman documentary last weekend. Yves Rossy flew across the English Channel from France to the UK last week while strapped to a rocket powered wing. I finally got to watch it last night and enjoyed it immensely. It’s a great achievement. Slightly mad [...]
