I’ve been keeping track of my CCed photos for a while now, updating the list of people that use my flickr-photos on a regular base. Today I did another round, simply by googling “heipei flickr”. Not surprisingly I came up with about 12 new websites and blogs. And I’m happy that people are discovering my [...]
A polfilter (pol for polarizing) can give you all kinds of nifty improvements in your outdoor pictures. Here is a little preview. I expect to achieve much more drastic differences come summer: Left: No filter (or at least filter turned towards “normal”). Right: Filter set to the right angle. Make sure you check out the [...]
Yep, it’s time for another photo-only post. Enjoy! By the way, you should try the Eifelsteig.
Trying to take a shot of my new cell-phone (after all it’s raining today so there’s nothing to photograph on the other side of my window), I lacked sufficient natural lighting and the few lamps in my room don’t amount to much when it comes to object photography. A flash is the only logical choice [...]
With already two full short-trouser-days this year, summer should be right around the corner. As I’ve got nothing else to write I’m gonna post a few photos again, from the walks we took over the last few weeks. The semester starts next week, but I’m hoping to keep up the regular walks around Aachen.
When I was younger I hated the summer (or let’s say I preferred winter). That was because in winter you had a reasonable explanation why you would sit in front of your PC all day long instead of going outside to play with the other kids or generally to “get some fresh air”. Now that [...]
After searching (and finding no existing solution), I created a small JavaScript-based commit-badge/banner which you can show of on your website to point at the latest (or a specific) commit in a Github-repo. This is what it looks like (if you see blank space here or something fubar please reload the page and after that [...]
Was ist eine Streulichtblende? Eine Streulichtblende sieht so aus (Foto von fensterbme), man kennt den Anblick von jedem Profi-Fotografen. Also eine Blende die man vorne auf sein Objektiv steckt. Und was hat man jetzt davon? Wenn man Leute fragt die schon so eine Blende haben hört man dass die Fotos dadurch einen besseren Kontrast haben [...]
Since I really don’t have anything else to write about (and since some people complained about the lack of non-techie topics here recently) I’m just gonna post a few pictures and a link to my Flickr-Photostream. I’m sure some of you haven’t checked it out yet, but photography is a hobby of mine so it [...]
Since I’ve been more active again on flickr lately I was interested if any photos of mine have been used in the web. I release my photos under the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License. This means that people can take my photos, alter them, use them (even commercially) as long as they refer to me and [...]
