Hot pixels on the Canon EOS 20D

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 28 under Photography

Tomorrow I’ll be at Canon’s authorized repair-shop to have them look at my 20D. It’s got what I think is hot pixels even at indoors shooting at 1 second shots. Not good. But, being nervous that my camera will be gone without replacement for a while, I am reading up on the subject. There are […]

Selfportrait and RAW handling

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 25 under Photography

At the moment I use Canon’s EOSViewer Utillity and The GIMP for RAW handelling. While I need to figure out how to use The GIMP without getting heaps of artefacts/noise, I get quite often strange artefacts that are white curves that follow the light within a picture. To give an example, look at this selfportrait […]

Epson P-2000

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 25 under Photography

According to DPReview: the P-2000 is a very well-designed, very sophisticated and very desirable addition to any serious digital photographer’s gadget bag. My conclusion from reading their review: drool Good luck to Epson with the RAW support. My 20D is already supported, but it seems they have just a little further to […]

UFRaw

I’ve been using UFRaw, a GIMP plugin to work with the RAW shot of the moon. The images was quite under-exposed to start with, but still it gives me very many colours in the sky:It uses dcraw that I talked about earlier. Do you have any experience with dcraw or utillities based on it you’d […]

Drive

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 19 under Photography

I’m planning to get more away from my computer with my camera, and I’ve been looking at solutions for emptying my CF-card onto a harddrive while travelling. My most probable choice is CompactDrive PD7X (which I’ll buy here unless someone gives me a better offer), but I’m also looking at Archos AV420 that has too […]

Luna

I’ve borrowed my father’s telelens and tripod. Sorry for the awful crop, but I didn’t bring my 2x converter, and when I’d finally got it, the moon had disappeared.

It’s been waaay to long since my last post. I’ve uploaded a couple of images to my Photoblog gallery, but I’ve been to lazy to post them here. Sorry, this will be a batch of them all. Even worse, I’ve taken pictures I’d like to put here, but now they’re all squezed into a disk […]

Vigeland’s “Monolith” damaged beyond repair

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 8 under General

Not long after Scream and the Madonna were stolen from the Munch museum, the Monolith by Vigeland is painted black and probably damaged beyond repair by vandals.
