When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
A thought, a photo and a handful of curiosity
 
WTFBy Jason [- 17/12/06 (12:33:30) -]Aaargh! Wtf, I read this small, tiny, 1 page tutorial of an artist on deviantart.com about photograph workflow and one remark made me think. It was about converting from aRGB to sRGB color space before posting on the web. If you don't do that, images colors will appear flat and colorless. Since this was exactly my problem I decided to dive into it.
Indeed, the bottom line is: something was terribly wrong with my workflow. This has been ever since I had my 20D, which is over 2000 pictures now! Ofcourse I have all the original RAW files, and even the adjusted JPGs that come out of my RAW editor are fine. So a little bit of Photoshop Batch/Action combinations is enough to be able to almost automatically convert whole series at once. For a start, I did one (although the images come out too big as far as file size is concerned, so a little tweaking and trade-off needs to be done there). So actually THIS is what is representative of my current capabilities as a photographer, given my current set of equipment. You can imagine I am both shocked and excited at the same time. I let the latter prevail. Since I have to play two games of underwaterhockey today I do not have time to work on this much more today, but hopefully soon more series will be converted into what they should have looked like in the first place :) And last but not least a hello to CHARLOTTE!! Tanx for indirectly pointing me towards this discovery :) :) - Bye! [popup] Closing Time - Every new beginning is some other beginning's endBy Jason [- 03/09/06 (00:39:38) -]![]() After three weeks of fun and adventure in Sweden, I had another floating week in which I worked, felt ill and managed to work on my USB project a little (I have a 2 MB memory stick now, it's only 20 cenitmeters long :). Last week I've been running around with a bunch of kids as a volunteer. Such things really fill up your 'mental' battery, just because it's so fullfilling. On the other hand, it's hard work too :) Now, nothing but a drowsy Sunday separates me from the things I'll be doing this year, of which graduating for (top) Master of Neuroscience will be the center-point.

![]() I checked the spots from last year but no success. Instead, I took pictures unrelated to this project (yes, they will be up soon). However, later in the afternoon I saw some birds hoovering over the lands near a bunch of pine-trees. After a long detour to get there I managed to shoot a few pictures. But they were too far away and I couldn't get closer. In the end, I got 1 picture which at least shows it's a bird :). It's no Kestrel though! So hope I'll be able to figure out wat it is indeed.

Het behoeft dus geen betoog dat dit zal uitmonden in een vaag cijfer (ergens tussen i en pi-kwadraat schat ik zo). Alora, ik ga de bus halen. Tabee. Oh ja: WEEKEND :) [popup]   Happy NewyearBy Jason [- 03/01/06 (19:38:31) -]![]()   K(erst)misjeBy Jason [- 27/12/05 (23:23:57) -]De kerstkaart blijft nog even staan (en in mn blog zal ie - al nieuwe berichten schrijvende - gewoon langzaam wegzakken). De tekst erbij vind ik nog steeds uitermate briljant. Hoe vaker ik het hoor hoe meer het me raakt, op zo een heldere, simpele zekere manier te beloven er altijd voor een ander te zijn. Gewoon, als je me nodig hebt ben ik er (en dat kan dan slaan op een vriendschap of relatie), no matter what.
