274 years
This is a heritage from my grandma, the bible was released in 1736, so its 274 years old. As I was a kid i always was impressed by this huge book.
Strobist Info:

The Book
The Book
Chosen as the winner of flickrs “Strobist Sundays” group, in theme “Best Friend”.
My best friend’s currently in Costa Rica, so i had to shoot my second best friend, who always stays by my side, when I’m doing my creative work, and to take the last finish on my photographs.
My E-30 was in service , the E-510 doesn’t support RC-Flash, so the Metz had to be in the shoe, posed myself over the Book so the flash just helped out the light of the Macbook Pro itself.
Flash: -2EV, Slow, 180° with reflector card pointing down in front of the Book.
Drops XPLORED
I’m back on Flickr with a new Explore Shot, Drops posted to the Macro Mondays Theme “Drip, Drops & Splashes”…
To do some Drop shots, you have to do a lot of installation before.
You take a small tripod or similar and hang a plastic foodbag (it may be also one of those shopping bags but it should be leakproof) you fill it with water and make a pinhole in it, that gives you consistent drops in a regular interval. The bigger the hole more drops to fall in the same time. You can call this dps (drops per second LOL)
Now adjust your camera to fast shutter, and pose it on a tripod, to focus you may have your finger into the water where the drops land (Your Camera with a Macro lens may have troubles to focus the water, that’s why posing the finger there) You may also adjust the focus manually. Be Sure to change to manual focus after you focused successfully, so you doesn’t have to focus each try again, since the drops always fall at the same focal distance.
Modernizr
So frequently developers don’t use some modern functions because they can mess up the usability, the layout or the design in browsers that don’t support that functions. For example rounded corners, @font-face (as I described in my article ”@font-face: A Typographic Lovestory” ) often can’t be used because without this features the website becomes a mess.
But all those problems can be solved now, with a tiny JS script called Modernizr. read more…
12 Reasons Why Twitter Beats Facebook
There are no Ads on Twitter
Unlike Facebook, there are none of those annoying “Test a Mac”, “Win an iPhone” or “Test your IQ” ads on Twitter, who appear to be from unserious companies attempting to overload your phonebill.
You can personalize your Twitter
Ok, Myspace was too much glitter and overloaded with flash and useless sparkles. But Facebook won’t let you personalize your profile. Every Facebook profile just looks the same. As an example, myself, i’m not much into the white and blue style. Twitter let’s you load your own background image and customize the colors of your Twitter profile. That’s not too much to prevent Twitter to become a flash victim but enough to give it a personal touch. read more…

Janelle Monae footage
Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, and performer.
We’re pretty sure Janelle Monáe is from the future or from a super cool planet that the rest of us are not up on yet. You know – some spot just over in the next galaxy where the music rules and where everyone rocks their own version of the Kia Soul. Janelle has created the sound of how she rolls for us and she calls it “Come Alive (The War Of The Roses).” Take a listen to “Come Alive (The War Of The Roses)” below, download the track and watch the behind scenes video we filmed during the recording process…. read more…
Cindi Mayweather
Two days ago I bumped in the Clip of Janelle Monáe aka Cindi Mayweather’s Clip “Many Moons”, well I describe this as a Music Firework wrapped up in a great Storytelling Music Clip!
Idlewild, “Call out the Law” this was the first time I felt in love with Janelles powerful Voice, today I’m even more impressed by her endless creativity! Besides her action loaded power soul Tracks, she promotes her Album “The Chase Suite” with her Exxtraterrestial Vintage look, while her pseudonym “Cindi Mayweather” read more…
Photo Buddy
It’s functions goes from Aperture and ISO proposals, which corresponds to the lighting you can choose from a list, to DOF measuring and even tells you the actual Moon period and Sunrise/set time. You also can choose your Camera model to get corresponding adjustments.
After all, a cool update might be if the iPhones build in camera could be used for measuring the light to get some realtime adjustment proposals for your camera. read more…
100 Yard Dash
Seems like the Musicindustry turns back to real Instruments and that Motown Mood, after that overdosed Electronic Period.
Long Time we didn’t heard anything from Raphael but his “comeback” is better than expected… Enjoy!
