Hard News: Moving right along?, in reply to Lilith __,
Imagine a world in which “family values” were compassion, love, and inclusiveness. Instead of judgment, prudishness, and hypocrisy.
What a strange idea.

On the side of the road on the way back from kindy this morning, I was struck by how the light (clear skies! yay!) struck this flower, but just couldn't quite capture it.

Capture: Two Tone, in reply to David Hood,
Gotcha, thanks. I think I'll play with this raw setting a lot more.

Capture: Two Tone, in reply to David Hood,
So those gaps in the histogram help explain why "holes" start appearing in images when I start twisting things toward the extremes?

Comparison…
...and I found a button labelled threshold and I thought “WTF?"

Doing something stupid does not make one an idiot.
Indeed, it only makes one human. I realised long ago that no amount of intelligence gives any kind of immunity to stupidity.

This discussion prompted me to explore some of the buttons on my camera I hadn’t really played with before. Here’s my first attempt at raw – though my camera saves that as .nef, which Picasa can open but neither GIMP nor Irfan View will. And Picasa, being little more than a few special effects, does allow me to compare raw and regular jpeg images easily, as in click between the two, but it doesn’t give me much information about them. Is there any other preferably free software that people recommend?
ETA: and man those windows are filthy... but no, I am not going to hang myself out a 6th floor window to clean them.
My wife found an onion that had started sprouting in the kitchen, so I suggested we find a jar, give it some water, and let it grow. That old fish bowl had a suitably narrow neck with a space for some water, so now the onion lives on the window sill next to the two tortoises our downstairs neighbours who are getting ready to leave for the US gave my wee one.

Playing with these curvey things…

Trying to capture the flame under the frypan... Can't figure out how. Yeah, first mistake was using the phone instead of the real camera...
