How f*&king hard can it be to buy a bottle of contact lens solution in
2009-02-19 22:13:00 Actually, the answer is 'quite bloody difficult!' In fact, really f%#king difficult!You see, for some reason only opticians in Copenhagen sell contact lens solution. Now, why Matas, for example, purveyors of a wide range of shampoos, body lotions, perfumes, and plenty of other more or less useful personal items, doesn't also sell contact lens solution has always been beyond me.Okay then. Fine. Need contact lens solution, head for the optical shop.Oops! Turns out the all friendly neighbourhood eye glass shops close at 17.30 on weekdays in my neighbourhood!! 17.30!! Is it too much to ask for just 1 lousy hour between 17.00-18.00 to shop every day??!! What the f&%k!?! It's like these shops are doing everything possible to avoid customers! Outside of the center of Copenhagen they close at 14.00 on Saturday. And of course, try not to run out Saturday night since on Sundays shops in Copenhagen are annoyingly closed.How can something so simple be so complicated? I've been trying a...
The super wide angle lens
2009-02-12 04:06:00 I know I have mentioned this before, but it is worth mentioning again in the context of capturing ?big? landscapes. The vantage point I had at the roaring meg bend in the kawarau river drops off down into the river and the hill towered about me. Something impossible to capture, even with my 8mm lens. So I took a whole series of views, more or less in three passes but with a lot of overlap, and many not in order. I was surprise autostitch didn?t complain. The results illustrate the usual perspective that mutli-image stitched panoramas give much more ?realistic? perspective (ie closer to what a human experiences) than any fisheye lens, which might cover a similar width of view.

Lens Disaster
2008-12-15 01:38:00 I?ll be the first to admit I am hard on my field gear, from boots, sunnies, phones, computers, I own and regularly use several devices with cracked LCD screens, and super glue or duct tape repairs. All this is a fact of life, I need things to be robust and reliable, that's all I ask. Yet I must admit I was a bit devastated by yesterday?s ?office? accident. My well padded camera bag (that by the way normally tolerates a lot of rough handling, apparently rolled off my desk and possible as it fell the camera must have spilled out and when I found it the camera and lens where well separated and bag open.Worst was to come, when I inserted the lens it just popped out again. Seems two small plastic lugs are all that holds it into the bayonet fitting, and the nature of the breaks does not give me any confidence that super-gluing will succeed. The saddest part is it is my favorite lens.

Countact Lens Case.
2008-11-10 17:41:00 Countact Lens Case.If you are one among us who usually have a takes a lot of time to remember when the lens was replaced the last time, then here is a product which comes in handy: Countact Lens Case, which will do the remembering for you. It has a small countdown timer to a normal contacts lens case that lets one know when their contacts need changing. All it requires is to push a button every time they change their lenses and the rest is taken care off; it alerts using an audible beeping sound from the in-built speaker and LED display when it's time to replace your lenses. It can be customized for duration of use from anywhere between 14 to 30 days. It definitely takes off the guesswork (least what we do) when you should be changing your contacts.Other Posts:Painted Laptops.Art With Eatables.Creativity With Newspaper.How Would You Handle This!How Creative Can You Get With Crates.

Lens flare
2008-09-12 10:49:00 The bigger your lens and the more glass surfaces in it (zoom lense have lots), the more likely you are to suffering from lense flare when you point towards a strong light. Shadding the lens with a lens hood (often supplied with the lens) can help a bit, and not pointing close to the light source usually avoids flare, but then you will probably miss the interesting lighting you wanted to catch.

After Effects Lens Flare with Transparent Background
2008-06-09 18:33:00 Question from a student I had in my After Effects training class in Hartford, Connecticut: "Hey Damon, You showed me how to get a lens flare with nothing else (no backgrounds/alpha keyed) on the screen using a luma matte...I think!
