Some photos from my sisters wedding. Not great, forgot to set ISO correctly after nightime shoot, but them again, I left photo head at home and instead went with enjoyment head on so they are fine. Well done Grainne & Tommy.
After what seems like ages, I finally got around to uploading the rest of my Cuban photos to Flickr, feel free to visit and comment.
I will hopefully get around to completing the titles and brief info sections later this evening. FInd below quick links to my favorite ones.
Standing around outside our casa in Trinidad, friends pointed out this old gentleman walking up the street. I waited despite their cries for “take a photo”, till he had passed me. He looked as if he had a long, hard life, but was obviously quite happen with his bird in the hand.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cuba. Of course I took my trusty Nikon with me, so over the next few days I will upload a few of the images that I captured. Starting off is this typical street scene of Habana

My everyday laptop runs Ubuntu, however for photo editing, I still use and prefer Photoshop. Now since I’ve gone digital, I’ve gone out an bought Adobe Lightroom.

This photo is one of 10,000 from my archive that I am slowly scanning. Fuji Neopan 400. No idea about anything else now
I was having a quick conversation with Donnacha about a few things today and I mentioned something about Amazon S3. Which of course led to the inevitable discussion about the recent outage there. So we chatted and he sent me a few mails and a link to Barry’s blog on Wordpress.
What I was interested in was the AWS post, but as I read the comments/trackbacks I noticed a link to http://blog.animoto.com/. The name was cool so I said I would check it out, as I sometimes do still “surf round” from time to time.Alas I got a 404 for the post, but me being curious persisted and I substituted the blog for www and have never been so happy that I did. Animoto is a cooler than cool web service that allows the user to upload photos or point them at their flickr/facebook photos then they select or upload their own mp3 and hey presto a few min later you have a video montage of your photos.
