For the benefit of my curious friend – maybe even friends – I shall describe the steps used to make my tilt shift lens ver 2.
Miserable Sumo
No, it’s not the latest satellite dish with live feed. It’s Sumo, just back from being castrated. And boy did he look miserable.
First Live Recording
Last night, I was obliged to attend Rhythm of Life, a charity concert in support of the Adventist Home for the Elders, Adventist Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre and Adventist Community Services.
The concert featured Filipino Sal Malaki of the LA Opera and The Golden Angels from Korea.
I took the opportunity to test out the in-ear binaurals I got from The Sound Professionals and borrowed an old MiniDisc player. (Until the Samson Zoom H2 Handy Recorder is released, I’m sticking with this old mini-disc.)
It being the first time I’ve recorded a live show, I missed out the beginning of the first song. Which was fine anyway, because the levels were too high and the sound got distorted. Then I might have gotten too conservative and made the levels too low. Finally, I ran out of tape and missed out the last two songs.
These songs are best heard on headphones to hear the direction of chatter, laughter and so on. You can even pick me up sniffing.
This is Sal Malaki with God and God Alone. There’s some distortion at the loud parts. Still, I enjoyed it.
Diamonds are forever…
… hard to photograph.
Going analogue
It’s a long time since I’ve been excited about pictures. Sure, it’s nice to copy pictures from the memory card to the computer and see what you have.
But the surprise from a roll of film inside a camera so long that you forgot what you took in the first place?
It can’t compare.
Adventures in macro photography
I got a whole lot of bulbs and took some pictures of my mother’s rings.
I put everything on the floor and took pictures from there. Handheld.
Shootsac – the photo bag for women?
The perfect camera bag is hard to come by.
I’ve got 3.
You’d think I’d have one I’d be happy with.

Moved
Well, I’ve done it. Moved hosts from Dreamhost to A Small Orange. Did you even notice the downtime? Continue reading “Moved”
Sumo’s first day
Sumo makes himself at home on the first day and annoys the hell out of Manja, Jojo and Tricky.

This crappy video was shot on my mobile phone, edited and converted from .3gp format to .flv with Super.
Also an excuse to try out serving videos on my blog.
