“What took you so long?”
Yes, I’ve returned from LSG a week ago. But I spent all my time either at work or creating the photogallery (I made over 800 pictures but my memory card got full so I had to delete the bad ones, I returned with over 650 pictures and the gallery is 187, […]

“Tone mapping reduces global contrast in images while increasing local contrast and shadow/highlight detail.” or so Gimp Addict’s Tone Mapper tutorial says. Go and read his tutorial, I will add few comments to it:
4) “radius of 100-500 is good” — yes, it usually is, but since we don’t know the size of the image, I’d […]

It started like “Oh, there will be many people there!”, but then, eh…

Well, the weather was nice enough, snow & temperature also ok, the only problems being lack of machine made trails and Drc’s headache (which made us leave sooner than we initially planned).

Ok, life’s a mess. I bought my own domain recently and started uploading stuff. You can view some new photos from recent trip to Tri Studne. Yeah, half of them are photos of my ex-gf, guess why… And to make it worse school exams are approaching.
