Back Online
After being offline for a bit under 2 weeks my home connection is back. Got an account with TPG which seems alright for the most part.
Will be adding some more images, updates and wallpapers in the coming days.

Internet Connection, Slide Copying
We swapped over our internet connection yesterday to a 150gb TPG plan. I’ve been getting ’status’ emails from them letting me know how the setup is going. The connection should be active on Wednesday, at which time I will upload some photographs I took from the flickr meetup on the weekend.
In the meantime I have been experimenting photographing my slides with a macro lens plus closeup filter. It seems to do the job pretty well, though I think I need to get another closeup filter in order to fill my 400D’s frame. Currently I get a 1950 pixel high image from a 35mm slide (my camera allows for a height of just under 2600 pixels). I’ve been doing it in relative darkness, using a lightbox and covering for the area around the slide. Even with this setup it’s still quicker than using my scanner, and there is so much less noise. Also, there is the distinct advantage of being able to shoot it raw and adjust the colour balance etc afterwards, and when I run a USM I am pretty much getting grain level sharpness (though the slides were taken with a cheapie kodak camera in the 60s so they are quite soft). I’m actually pretty impressed.

New Flickr Images
I was sifting through my ever-growing archive of images today and found a couple I thought were worth touching up and putting on Flickr.

Gallery
I have started a small gallery of my favourite photographs, which I will be adding to slowly but steadily. The ‘Gallery’ link in the main menu bar will lead to the photographs uploaded thus far. Each photograph’s page has a short description, purchasing options and various wallpapers to download.

High Places, Published on Schmap
One of my images has been published on the Schmap Neighborhood Guide for The Valley.
I hadn’t suspected this photo would garner interest from anyone really. You learn something new every day.
