Long exposure night shots. With the correct amount of overexposure, some images will turn out completely surreal. And I love what it does to the greens on the trees. Next project, repeat this at the right moment of dusk. In related news, I put up an Electro35 collection at Cafeína, featuring a couple of images I hadn't included in this site's Electro35 collection, and all in rather higher size and quality.¶

Well, I've been going photographer lately, haven't I? Here's the Ultimate Exposure Computer, which past the introdutory routine stuff about aperture and speeds has very handy tricks to know how to expose correctly without caring about the meter. I love to know the kind of things they won't teach you at school (ie. if you're supposed to be a pro, you're supposed to have all kinds of helper equipment).¶

Don't I love Apple computers? Their last iMac looked like a Chinese cheapo bedside lamp, their new iMac looks like... an oversized portable computer with a misplaced screen. And I'm sure Mac fans will loved it because it has... design, and surely Mac fans like design, even if it is a ridiculously squashed Classic Macintosh. Just throw'em something white and round and they'll eat it. Ok, maybe I'm being unfair. I don't hate the Macs that much. I even have my Windows adjusted to feel a bit like the good parts of MacOS, taskbar on top and some dock software running at the bottom of the screen. Problem is, iMacs seem they will always look stupid. I may envy the practical and beautiful 'titanium' case of the Mac G5, but as expensive-toy Macs are concerned, first we had a toilet, then a cheapo lamp, and now (I'm sure some consultant said "widescreens are hip", only forgot we are dealing with multi-purpose computers, not TV sets) a flat panel screen with the bottom bit missing. At least they could leave some ports on the front, only that it won't look much good on the desks of high-end, very dead, design offices. That's the irritating thing about the Mac mystique — they seem to constantly choose form over function, and many times the form isn't up to it.¶
