April 16, 2014 Portfolio: Cathedrals of Ice This past February, thanks to an unusually cold winter, the sea caves along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, in northern Wisconsin, were accessible by foot for the first time in five years. Visitors were able to walk two miles over the thick ice of Lake Superior to see the ice formations that run up the coastline. Erin Brethauer, a photographer living in North Carolina, visited the sea caves. Click here to view a slide show of her photographs. April 14, 2014 The Keepers of the Stones Except for a few days a year, you can walk among and touch the stones of Stonehenge only by special arrangement with English Heritage, the quasi-government agency that manages the site. The day after the equinox, Salisbury Plain’s often inclement weather gave way to sun. Salisbury Plain, in England, is known for its concentration of prehistoric structures, most notably Stonehenge, the circle of megaliths famous for the mystery surrounding its purpose. Fjord Life

Prison Photography External disk not showing up in Locate Well, after countless wasted hours, I've given up. There's something terribly wrong either with Aperture or with OS X Lion or the combination. The random volume disconnects and volumes missing as choices from the Located Referenced Masters screen don't seem to have any logical basis--the only explanation is some sort of bug with volume identification. So... I took out a wicked big hammer and fixed the Aperture library directly. It took about 15 minutes, including downloading an SQL editor and backing up the library. A cautionary note: I'm a professional software developer and screwing around inside databases is entirely within my zone of comfort and understanding. Thanks to those on this thread who offered suggestions.

Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs Manually Change Aperture Referenced Files Volume « Kevin's Blog If you have had issues with Apple's Aperture using referenced files then this post may be of some help. In my previous posts here and here I detailed the issues that I have been experiencing and some of the steps I tried to get back working. If, like me, you are still banging your head against the wall, you may want to consider manually updating the Aperture Library Database file. The process described below is for more advanced/daring users. For this procedure to work, you will need to have a file stored on the new location of your referenced images that Aperture successfully knows about. The db file is in a slightly different location than for iPhoto but is not too hard to find. Here is where things get scary. You will need to manually edit the database in SQLLite3. I used SQLLite Manager to run the commands against my DB. Below are the commands that I used to update the file path for my referenced images. --This command updates the directory path to your temp location. Popularity: 26%

Instagram Two easy steps for using a DMCA takedown notice to battle copyright infringement Finding an unauthorized use of your photograph on the web is upsetting. But what can you do about it? You can contact an attorney for assistance. But if you haven’t registered your photo in advance of the infringement, then you won’t be eligible for statutory damages. Attorneys will take such cases on contingency only under certain circumstances. Fortunately, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) gives you another option. Please note that the DMCA is US law only. Step 1: Finding the ISP that is hosting the website with your image If you find a website that is using one of your images without permission, contact the ISP that is hosting the culpable website to report the infringement and ask that the infringement stop. So how do you find the hosting ISP? Take, for example, my wildlife photography website at www.vividwildlife.com. The results are shown below. Clicking on the IP Address provides the IP information for it. Step 2 - Drafting your Takedown Notice Counter notification

The left image was one of the first I've "scanned" with my DSLR, and the one on the right I've just rescanned using the techniques described below (higher resolution available here). Right now I can get higher resolution and better image quality that what street labs give you on CD. I've seen many articles on the web explaining the basics of digitising film negatives or transparencies with a digital camera. First of all: Why? - Street labs can usually scan the film but I’ve got bad scans and missing/cut frames more than once. All the following instructions have the objective of achieving the best possible resolution, colour depth and dynamic range out of the film, while keeping image noise as low as possible. I’ve separated this tutorial into five sections, and you may want to skip, or skim through some of these.

Infiltration Nature Photography / ANTILIMIT Behind The Glass In our modern world where most of us are generally surrounded by and marketed to with uninspiring things, this serves as my attempt to counter that with moments I've found to be interesting and special. I've taken and post-processed all the photos here since 2002. I currently call Austin home and have lived throughout the United States (to include Washington State, Florida, Indiana, Virginia & Texas) during my lifetime. I currently work as a front-end designer and developer during the day and enjoy travelling to new places and wandering around with my gear. Whilst snapping, nothing is ever pre-arranged. That's me... very contently hanging on to the back of a tuk-tuk in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
