Blog Tweak

Just a quick note to say that I changed the way images are displayed once you click on them. I suggest you try to click on the next picture (once the page has been fully loaded). It should allow you to preview bigger images without having to navigate back and forth and is prettier than what I was doing before.

I took this series of pictures over the weekend to see how small were the things that I could photograph. The result is pretty interesting, the diagonal of the picture represent about 4mm in the real world. It was quite a pain to set the whole thing up (belows, reflex box, chimney visor, 35mm lens+ about 20cm extensions, tripod and a lot of patience).

Embedding slideshows - Ein Hod

Saturday we went again to Ein Hod, but this time before everything was closed and we didn't miss the village entrance. We had a very nice afternoon, visiting art galleries, and enjoying local brews eating home made pizzas with live blues. Life is good over here :).

Trying to embed directly Zenfolio slideshows into the blog, for the lazy ones that don't feel like going to visit the galleries :). Edit: I removed the gallery it was slowing down the blog wayyyy too much.


It doesn't work that well for now, but Zenfolio doesn't expect its users to embed their slideshows in other pages so for now I doubt I'll be able to do any better. Let me know if you prefer the slideshows that way, or the old fashioned way.

Trying wordpress blogging

Everything is in the title, I imported my blog over to wordpress and started to play around modifying one of their templates. You can see the result here: I don't know if I'll leave blogger but I wanted to play around with something else.

New logo

While I was in Yangshuo I had a stamp hand made by a Chinese calligrapher. I don't have much use for it, but it reminded me stupid games we had while at university with one of my reader's stamp. I figured I could also use it as a logo for my blog. Well now it's done, not that I didn't like the previous one, but I haven't been skydiving for quite a while so decided for the change. You can see a few examples in front of my keyboard below:
