two by three: Tech | Olympus OM-D EM-5, one year later

http://www.twobythree.com/2013/10/tech-olympus-om-d-em-5-one-year-later.html

Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Tech Olympus OM-D EM-5, one year later. I've now been using the Olympus OM-D EM-5 actively for a year. It's been in 10 countries with me and recorded over 21,000 frames. Every camera and lens has strengths and tradeoffs, but for my needs the EM-5 is the best digital camera I've owned, and I think Olympus deserves recognition for its achievement. Well, I think a camera that has certain strengths does influence the photographer. Because the EM-5 is "friendlier looking" than my ...

Piet Niederhausen: Travels in 2013

http://niederhausen.blogspot.com/2013/09/travels-in-2013.html

IT Business Analyst and Architect. Saturday, September 21, 2013. I had planned to travel for several months in 2013 to gather material for photography projects, and it has been a very rewarding experience. Since March I've stayed in 27 places in 10 countries, from India to Turkey to Scandinavia. Now I've got a mountain of photos to go through (about 17,000), but here are some first results to show for it:. On flickr and more sets. Two fine art sets on my photography blog, The Moving Frame.

two by three: "Yeah, but not of junk."

http://www.twobythree.com/2013/10/yeah-but-not-of-junk.html

Sunday, October 20, 2013. Yeah, but not of junk.". We're having some nice foggy mornings here, so this morning I took a camera for a walk around the neighborhood. A lady out walking her dogs came up to me as I was making this photograph. May I ask why you're taking pictures? She wanted to know. I do it for myself. I'm a photographer." I replied. Then I asked, "Do you like taking pictures too? Yeah, but not of junk.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why "two by three"?

Piet Niederhausen: Make a graph k-regular

http://niederhausen.blogspot.com/2013/10/make-graph-k-regular.html

IT Business Analyst and Architect. Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Make a graph k-regular. A 7-regular graph with 10 vertices: every vertex connects to 7 others. To maintain my Python skills I picked up Allen B. Downey's Think Complexity. Which is a great mix of Python exercises, algorithms, and complexity science. I especially like the way the book requires you to use the web to research math or computer science concepts to solve the exercises. The first chapter is on graphs. But eventually a thread. On Sta...

two by three: Photos | Off season

http://www.twobythree.com/2013/10/photos-off-season.html

Saturday, October 5, 2013. A fairground in the off season has an eerie emptiness. Lights flash and music plays, but there are few visitors to bring real life to the artificial life of the attractions. The fairground is revealed as a place of illusions - full of fake facades, false perspectives, cartoonish shapes, and meaningless patterns. View the flickr slideshow.

two by three: Tech | Recovering cropped RAW files in Lightroom

http://www.twobythree.com/2013/10/tech-recovering-cropped-raw-files-in.html

Monday, October 21, 2013. Tech Recovering cropped RAW files in Lightroom. A benefit of the electronic viewfinder on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 is the ability to change the aspect ratio and compose your shots with the correct result shown in the viewfinder. This is easier than using the viewfinder of a DSLR and trying to guess what, say, a square composition will look like after cropping. Adobe provides a Lightroom plug-in to help, called the Adobe DNG Recover Edge plug-in. Select the image(s) in the Library.

Piet Niederhausen: Leadership and humility

http://niederhausen.blogspot.com/2013/10/leadership-and-humility.html

IT Business Analyst and Architect. Friday, October 11, 2013. One of those balancing acts is to combine confidence with humility. Going into a project as an IT professional requires the confidence to propose changes, even in areas that are not my core IT expertise. But it also requires the humility to listen, learn, and involve others in decision-making. What's more, both of those qualities need to be communicated and acted on to build trust with the participants. Confidence and humility have to be commun...

two by three: Photos | NoPo

http://www.twobythree.com/2013/10/photos-nopo.html

Monday, October 28, 2013. North Portland (NoPo) lies between the Columbia and Willamette River where they join to flow toward the Pacific. Its shores are lined with harbors, including the Port of Portland freight terminals. The gentrification of downtown Portland hasn't reached NoPo, and its character is little changed, I imagine, since the 1950s. View the full set. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My name is Piet Niederhausen and I'm a part time photographer based in Portland OR. This blog is whe...
