I registered with the Sydney based photo art site. Then I went through every photo I’d taken with my digital camera except those I’d lost. I lost all of my American shots, damn it. I’ve now backed up all my other photos on a flash drive. You should take note of a posting I did about storing photos online. You can add Ph.Art to that list now as you can upload to a private gallery there. Then I submitted a few photos. So far, one has been declined because of its subject matte... Read Full Story

It depends what you have done or not done as to why your prints are darker.  If you have an LCD computer screen, they will be.  All LCD screens have brightness defaults which are too bright. So you can wind down the brightness by 50% to improve quality. Then you have to calibrate the colour. The old CRT screens can be calibrated by adjusting the brightness and contrast. You can also fix this problem by editing in Photoshop. To determine if your screen is too bright, hold a blank white sheet ... Read Full Story

I have written before about how to back up and store your photos online and about how to make a buck or two at the stock photo sites, but this new Sydney based site established recently by Andrew Coppin looks extremely interesting. It is called Ph.Art and is intended for the better photographers to display and perhaps sell their photos, but you can store a few megabytes worth of personal photos as well. It offers the ability to upload your own gallery, browse and buy photos, exhibit and sell... Read Full Story

PM Rudd announced today that the government would set up a new government and privately funded organisation to set up a fibre to home broadband for every school, business and home in the country. The cost is huge and much more than previously thought, but the reason for that is that the main telecommunication company in Australia did not put forward a tender for this operation. This company also controls the lines to homes and businesses, making it difficult for other telecommunication com... Read Full Story

While the bushfires were raging in Victoria, Australia, I’m sure many of us were thinking what would we take with us if we were in a hurry and we knew our house would probably burn down. Many think of their photo albums, but these days most of our photos are on the computer. Of course one could run with the hard disk, but rather bulky when you only have minutes to get out. An alternative is to have an extra external hard drive which would be easier to take. We used to have CDs to bac... Read Full Story

I haven’t done a real study of this, but I watch as some networking sites in my demographic become more and more popular and others decline. Firstly, there are those people who have jobs and are not that interested in making money from the internet. More and more of them appear to be joining Facebook. My age group isn’t going for Myspace. My friends are using it for advertising social events and it seems to work quite well. Then again there are still those real life friends of ... Read Full Story

I know there are many bigger natural disasters which have occurred overseas and there are many being killed in wars as I write, but I live in Melbourne and these bushfires are the worst natural disaster ever in Australia, so yes it effects me more, despite being very angry recently about Gaza. The day they occurred, Melbourne and the areas effected had their highest temperatures ever recorded. The wind was ferocious, coming from unusual directions and turning back on fires. Towns which I&#... Read Full Story

My camera, being a compact point and shoot one, does not produce RAW images, but jpegs. RAW imaging is better. RAW images are recorded unprocessed and uncompressed from the sensor onto a memory card. You then use special software to process it further. The new DSLR cameras have focal lengths like the old film cameras. A 50mm lens on a DSLR camera has the same angle view as a 75mm lens on a film camera. With the compact digital cameras, sensors come in different sizes. One camera with a foc... Read Full Story
