I really, really, really, really want a panoramic camera, notably a Noblex 135U. This is my first effort at using photostitch which is part of the software bundle thrown in with the Canon EOS 10D. I had to fiddle with the image to get the colour, contrast and levels as close a match as possible - all I kept thinking while doing this was 'how good would this be with a panoramic camera', I am even considering selling my Canon gear and focussing on panoramic photography!

Its been damn busy The last week has been crazy, we are installing a new computed radiography system at work and in between trying to learn the new CT scanner that was installed not long ago I have been helping with aspects of the installation. One of the main issues that we have been faced with is with assigning a second printer as redundancy. This all may sound easy but hospital politics is a huge hurdle to get over, in fact since discovering how hospital politics effect everything that goes on in a hospital and how some problems can be solved quickly and easily without this so called political intervention I have come to the conclusion that power really gets to some peoples heads. Mind you, I have seen this happen before but not at this scale, and to have half a million dollars worth of equipment sitting in an office for six months not being put to its purposeful use is downright sickening. This is large scale idiocy (if there is such a word!). Enough talk of stubborn power hungry, anti-proletariat type person/s, the solution to the problem is simple, getting around to changing some IP addresses and a subnet mask will probably take another six months! Ahh the joys of life. |
Fishing with flies Every chance that I have (and believe me there havent been many), I have been going some where for a quick (mostly afternoon) fish. At present I have been persisting with getting my technique right, the technique of casting wieghtless flies with some distance into the water has proven to be a challenge in itself. So seeing as today is my day of work, I am going to head down to Narrabeen Lake to try and catch some fish. Yep you heard right, no more practicing for me, its time to catch some 'reel' fish! So I am going to head knee deep in water with my fly rod in hand and hopefully will take home some fish for dinner!
Back to work for seven days straight on Monday! |
