Studio photography

Started taking classes on studio photography last Friday.

Next one — this Saturday.

Adobe Lightroom, OpenRAW

It looks like Adobe is getting the point of direct contact to users, even though they inherited it from acquired Macromedia.

Somehow I missed the news about upcoming Adobe Lightroom, which will be ported to Windows at a later stage of development.

Btw, if you are shooting to Raw, please consider spending ten minutes on RAW Survey for OpenRAW Working Group.

Update: yep, I needed a good sleep when I wrote the first version of this posting :)

Party shots

We had a New Year/Christmas company’s party last night. It was organized a-la USA in 20-30th years of 20th century — you know, Don Carleone, Chicago — all that gangster stuff :)

The lighting in that club was pretty nice, so shooting was a pleasure. And, TBH, I like F-Spot more and more. Just import all shots, review them, create a version of ones you like right there in main window and edit them without touching originals. Really nice.

Larger versions and other shots are at my Flickr account.

Now going to a gig where my friends play. Should be fun.

So far…

It looks like I will finally pay for hosting and finish my website. I’m just really tired by having snapshots here, there and everywhere. They should be in one place really, and Jakub‘s Original looks like a perfect tool for a web gallery.

So far, CREATE is moving forward. There is still no common decision on name of root directory, however.

To my excitement, after setting up SpamBlacklist extension on mediawiki we have much less issues with spammers.

Several interesting software project are about to release new code: Inkscape 0.43, Audacity 1.2.4 and 1.3.0, Hugin 0.5, Grisbi 0.5.8. And all of them except Inkscape require updated translation into Russian :)

Besides, Bulia claims to have ~120 Kbyte of diffs of new code in his local Inkscape development tree, which means that I should once again forget about using stable version of this awesome application ;)
