I just uploaded a lot of new images. All are accessable from my images. Specifically several of them are taken with my new camera, Canon 20D. I’m very satisfied with several of them, like this sunset, or this night shot. Its really nice to have a camera that can has good aperture range too, so you can play with the sharpness of the images, like when photographing a detail or taking some other close-up Also these food images from the new years party turned out quite good, the file and the onions.

Through my work I recently got a Qtek 9090. Since it got WLAN I have been intrested to try VoIP on it but my first attempts at finiding some suitable software turned out eith no results, atleast not any free software. But yesterday evening I looked around a bit more and found atleast two options:
SJPhone has a Free World Diaplup version for PocketPC
WiFive Phone is another option. The WiFive.net homepage is broken at the moment.
So far I have not had time to try them but will try to do it soon. Will update this entry about the results.

When I was akid we used to build small hovercrafts and race with them. Had we known that you could easily build one where you could drive yourself on we would have built it! The instructions are simple. Found this site too that has another design.

Kom på att jag borde ju blogga att nästan alla bilderna från årets fjällvandring nu finns online.
Följande sida har länkarna och snart kommer det förhoppningsvis lite mer text också om vandringen.

Äntligen kom IR filtret jag beställt genom “ScandinavianPhoto”:http://www.scandinavianphoto.se, ett Hoya Infrared R72. Var nog inte direkt bästa dagen för att fota med IR filter, det blåste en massa vilket syns på att man knappt ser flaggan och allt verkar lite suddigt. Det har blivit rörelse oskärpa eftersom jag hade 4 sekunders slutartid. Dock förklarar det dock inte varför hela bilden är suddig, men kanske skakade vinden även kameran en del.

So I wanted to have a newer version of the bios on my modchip. I found this guide that explains how to do it.
A newer version of the Cromwell BIOS were available though. As well as a newer X2 BIOS Manager
Finally this guide explains how to upgrade your X2 with Cromwell.

Daniel tipsade samtidigt om en annan kool sak, GamePark32 Hemsidna är dock på Koreanska så det är lite svårt att läsa sig till vad den kan. Dock ger Xtreme Gp32 Faq mycket mer information. Även från återförsäljaren GBAX.com kan man få mer information.

Daniel tipsade precis om ScummVM. Det är en virtuell maskin som man kan köra gamla klassiker som Monkey Island mm från Lucas Arts. Finns visst för PocketPC, vore ju grymt sjysst att ha på resan, en PocketPC med Monkey Island!

Some time ago I read this article on digital IR photography. It awakend an old interest of mine. Several years ago I bought some IR films because I wanted to try it out but it was hard to find any filters here in Sweden at that time. So it never happend. But inspiered by the article I started to look around again.

Earlier this week I called ScandinavianPhoto shop here in Gothenburg. It turned out that one of the salesman had just started to look for a supplier of IR filters, what a coincidence! So I called them today again and he hadn’t been that lucky, but recommended me to look at darkred Hoya filters. According to his contacts those should work. So I did some googling.
The “Infrared basics for digital photographers”-article is quite long but explains well how digital IR photography work.
Marco Pauck has some notes on his personal experiences with Infrared Photography. As well on the use of digital cameras for IR photography.
Bjørn Rørslett has several pages on IR Colour Photography. Have not read them all yet but looks interesting.
The camera I’m planning to use is my Canon Powershot A70 and I did the TV remote test it seems to be quite sensitive to IR as you can see in this image.
So reading these articles clearly indicate that the way to start is to get a Hoya R72 filter. And I discovered that CyberPhoto has the Hoya R72 filter and also ScandinavianPhoto said when I talked to them they could order any Hoya filter for me, so the task for tomorrow is to order one.

I’m quite interested in experimental photography and the interest has increased since I got my digital camera last year. One thing I really like is that it’s so easy to take images in dark situations. Though one problem is that I do not have a remote control for the camera so some images gets blurry due to motion. Canon does not have a remote control either so what to do? Build one yourself of course! It can not be that hard since you can take images with the camera from the computer once you have connected it, but I dont want to bring a PC every time. So I started looking on the net to see if someone else had done this already. I could not find any.
Though I found this document: Canon PowerShot Series Transfer Protocol Specifications Friday, August 8, 2003 which will most likely be really useful. The next problem is to find a really small and cheap CPU, like the PICs from MicroChip, nut that can be a USB host. Any tips are most welcome..
This project has just started….
