Tallgrass Pixels
Tallgrass Pixels | photography by Don Palmer is rather good. Don (W0PSK) lives near the Flint Hills in Kansas.
Mario, the solar photographer
I’m taking a Canadian Solar Institute course at Earth Rangers. Mario, the instructor, has quite a nifty photoblog: Mario Borsato – Nature Photo Blog. Here’s a close encounter with a timber wolf he had:
Mario’s company is Soleil Power Canada, if you’re needing solar installation or training.

I didn’t see “worthwhile” in there
I went to Photosynth, and saw this:
Bullets are also small and fast, but I don’t plan to install any of those soon, either.

arach, no phobia
Unless you really like spiders, I don’t recommend you see my picture spider in the basement.
death from above 1941
I see that you can now view WWII historical imagery in Google Earth. Yes, there’s Dresden, Hamburg and Warsaw. But what about Clydebank, Coventry, London? Yes, it wouldn’t have been allied imagery, but we were bombed too.
help for the Weston user in your life
Talk about displacement activity: in the week or so before selling the house and upping and off to Canada, I scanned and converted the Weston Master V Exposure Meter and Invercone Instruction Book to HTML.

to scan film, or not
I’ve recently taken up film photography again. But processing is expensive.
To have 24 exposures processed and scanned at 6MP at Downtown Camera costs $12 + tax. That’s a pretty good price for black and white.
I can process at home (yay stinky toxic chemicals!) for a bit less. I’d need to buy a scanner, and the cheapest film scanners come in at around $300.
What to do, what to do?

Hino bark chips, kinda
His anti-forward-control prejudices notwithstanding, I rather like Joe Clark‘s highly geometric photo Hino gravel.
CHDK on Canon PowerShot SD790
CHDK works, kinda-mostly:
All I’ve really tried is raw imagery, which creates DNG files of some hugeness.
Ixus90 / SD790 Porting/details thread has more (you need to log in to see the firmware files). It’s not ready for general usage yet, but shows promise.

i really do remember when all this was fields: fresh sweet cron
At the corner of Warden & Steeles, there was a little farm. It’s gone now. I think they were better at growing than spelling.
I don’t like prunes, but I do like prune
Just spent a pleasant morning munging gps data and photos using Prune. It has allowed me to edit a complex GPS track, add many photos, correctly correlate them to GPS locations, and save it all back out in a variety of useful formats.
I see that the author is talking about producing a native KDE version. Noooo! I like my Java. It runs everywhere.
(Incidentally, I see that with the recent software update, the Blackberry Curve will now geotag images from the camera. It’s now a really good “I was here” device – coming close to the “Utensil” that Robyn Hitchcock spoke about years ago.)
a big fan of picasa
I’ve just started using Picasa, and its ease of use is great. It does all you (well, okay, I) really need of a photo editor, with some nice effects. It also does cool things like handle raw images, and uses Google Earth to geotag images. Here’s one I prepared earlier:
