woher kenn ich diese Situation nur ?
public viewings everywhere ...
- June 26, 2008 - 8 comments

Have you already attended a public viewing? You will possibly say yes - and mean the "big screen" parties during WM 2006 or EM 2008 ... I still get irritated - and somehow strangely amused - when I hear or read "publc viewing"! Don't know why? Well, that term means in 'american english' something totally different: giving a deceased person a last visit and show him/her respect! (translated into german "Leichenschau") ... example strange ...
the next level: distributed SSH-probes :-(

refering to this article of Byggvir. But still new methods of attackers rise around. I'm watching (well, what else can you do with this?) one, who brute forces my whole cluster of webservers for days now! :( Here a little piece of the cake of one server: May 14 00:51:27 server sshd[4029]: Invalid user allistir from 64.83.58.161 May 14 00:51:27 server sshd[4021]: Invalid user allistir from 83.12.137.44 May 14 00:52:56 server sshd[4319]: Invalid user allistir fro…
Fotorucksack gesucht. Habt Ihr Tipps?
- February 27, 2008 - 26 comments

Hai, ich bin im Moment auf der Suche nach einem Fotorucksack, der einerseits Platz für Kamera + Blitz und ein oder zwei weiteren Objektiven haben sollte. Zusätzlich sollte auch noch ein 15-Zoll Notebook Platz finden ... (zuviel verlangt? Jetzt kommts aber erst *g*) Wichtigstes Kriterium ist aber: er sollte als Handgepäck beim Fliegen "durchgehen" ... Ich habe jetzt keine Idee, welcher da passen könnte oder wie groß er als Handgepäck maximal sein darf. Das liegt evtl. aber auch dar…

Mahatma Gandhi
- January 30, 2008 - 1 comment

Today, it's 60 years, that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi got shot by a fanatic extemist hindu. ( wikipedia::en , wikipedia::de ) But his memory remains, he's still a shining example how to do it: not war, not bombing, suicide attacs ... passive resistance is his inheritance! He once said: "eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind!"
Erstes prominentes Opfer des Rauchverbots :)
- January 25, 2008 - 20 comments

Links: Ausgeraucht? Bild Online NDR Wie lächerlich muss das alles noch werden *g*, als "Körperverletzung" kann man das wohl nicht werten ... Ich muss sagen, ich halte mich an das Rauchverbot indem ich schon den ganzen Januar nicht mehr ausgegangen bin ... langsam fällt mir die Decke aufm Kopf und ich sehne die Biergartenzeit herbei ;-)
Bad Day at the office?
- November 17, 2007 - 12 comments

OK OK, it's saturday and nobody really wants to think about the office ;) But this video is worth a look, nice compilation of "random madness" ;) ... it's only strange that it's only men "freaking out"?!?
A black Friday ... (Update)
- November 9, 2007 - 6 comments

Today, the german parliament has voted for the storage of all connection data for several months :( This is one step further away from freedom, democracy and liberty of press, medics, etc. The only two hopes that remain, is the law suit of www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de and the same on european level driven by ireland. The only thing to say is: don't elect black or red on the next parliament elections! Oder: "Wollt Ihr die totale Überwachung?" ... Edit: nice article (german,…

two nice books worth reading
- September 17, 2007

Hi all, just want to give you a tip about two very nice books I lately finished reading. Both are available in german and english language, already that is quite unusual ;) The first is called 'lowbudgetshooting', the second 'close-up shooting' ( website ) and both are from the same author Cyrill Harnischmacher. The " 2:1 series " was already a test or maybe 'first result' while I was reading it, and I can tell they gave me already nice ideas what to do during cold and dark winter e…
CATCHAs: more "cat content" to hit the web surface ;)
- September 14, 2007 - 6 comments

Hi there, today I read funny news I have to write about right now ;) For several years now, forms on web pages get "secured" by 'captchas', small images with smehow scrambled text. The intention behind that is, that machines like spam robots can't read them, but humans do. Disturbing the background or juggling with characters should protect from ocr. Unfortunately this 'protection' is getting weaker and weaker, because of the massive computing power of bot nets, 'social captch…
Lightroom vs. HDR
- August 5, 2007 - 2 comments

Hi all, inspired by Doomshammers article about HDR photos, I made some tests on a walk through my hometown for comparision today. I wanted to know when and if hdr photos really are an advantage, just to get "more photo" out of the raw ;) guess which one of the both pictures is the HDR ;) You're right, the left one (huhh, what?) Yes indeed, the HDR has absolutely more contrast and detail in the sky (although I tried to get the same effect in LR). I'd prefer the LR version th…
Weltstadt auf Zeit
- July 27, 2007 - 2 comments

Seit Mittwoch ist es nun wieder soweit, die Bayreuther Festspiele haben begonnen. Die Stadt hat sich herausgeputzt, so dass sich die Gäste hier wohl fühlen. Als neugieriger oder auch nur schaulustiger Bürger kann man sich auf dem grünen Hügel allerlei Promis anschauen: Mitte August ist dann alles wieder vorbei, und Bayreuth verfällt dann wieder in einen kleinstadtähnlichen Zustand :)
working faster with lightroom
- July 19, 2007

Most of the time, my amount of pictures I take is within a two-scale range. (and the "always plugged" 1GB Ultra2 CF card fits my needs) But sometimes on events, partys, or as now on vacations, I arrive home with several hundrets of photos (480 raw files the past weekend) ... For comparision: in february I took nearly 250 pictures on a film fest , and it took me about 8 evenings to sight and prepare ( the "old way" ) an output of something around 200 photos. Now, the photos of the…
One week with Lightroom
- July 11, 2007 - 5 comments

Basic impression: Okay, this was a fun week, mostly because I love exploring new things :) As I already mentioned, I nearly had arranged myself into something that may be called a 'workflow', it looked like this: imort raw files onto harddisk do corrections of exposure and white balance with the EOS Utilities export into 16Bit Tiffs open each file in Paintshop Pro Photo do croping, and rotating do some coorections with graduation curves perhap…
new to lightroom
- July 4, 2007 - 6 comments

today it was delivered :) A really impressing piece of software! Also the ergonomy is excellent clear directions of usage (horizontal from left to right main tasks, top-down the possible tweaks of one task). But unfortunately I'm already missing something of my previous workflow (I knew this would happen ;) ): rotating pictures, so that foreground or prominent objects (walls etc.) aren't lop-sided ... well, perhaps I only haven't found the function yet and else I have to concentrate more on i…
