Water Towers

I wanted to take a photo of them long time ago but they were too dirty and dusty, few months ago I noticed one of the towers was half painted, so I thought what is going on! they were painting them all, is it my luck or what, I waited till they finished and guess what? they did after few weeks, and I did not go there to take a photo of them, they actually started painting another set of water towers in another area and I'm not photographing any of them, yesterday I went in search of some good places to shot for a photography contest, and went by these water towers by chance, so I drove my car there and finally got this decent shots and this is one of them, I like it and I hope you do to.

Mac Shitty!

I had a very bad experience that I'm really sorry to share with you mac lovers and haters, I have a problem with my desktop fire wire, I have a G4 iMac flat-panel, and the fire wire is just out, it does not recognize that there is a fire wire port, so I took my iMac to the bet there is (not) Mac City, first thing is this Egyptian guy, whose suppose to e tech-support, I told him the problem and to add my desk top does not go to sleep mode, he said "eeh?" I repeated my self, he said "ya3neeh eeh ana mish fahem!" I said forget about it jut fix the fire wire. he said " OK there it could be one of there.. (some how I new he would say FORMAT) one we have to format it (here we go) two the fire wire port could be damaged, three the mouther board, so first we have to format it, I said I already tried that and it did not work, he said no we have to do it, I said OK, when will you tell me what wrong? he said within 4 to 5 days, after that of-coarse no one called, so I did, another Egyptian guy answer me and I asked about my computer he said what is your computer? I said it's an iMac G4 flat-panel, What do you think that idiot said to me, check this out he said "ya3nee eeh daah power book laptop willaa eehh ya3nee?" If that guy was standing if front of me at that time I swear I would have ether killed him or killed my self!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any how, he said later that it was the mother board, and they have sent an email to Dubai but they still did not answer them back, 10 days later, I go there to take my "power book laptop iMac G4" and it is still without a fire wire.

Another thing is the very hight prices, I wanted to order a Mac Pro, on the specs that I have ordered it was around $3450 US Dollars, which is approximately KD1100 plus taxes it should be around KD1200, they said It would coast me (with less specs than I wanted) KD1450, that is way too much, there 23" cinema display is $1000 they sell it KD500+ (should be KD300) wala 7aramiya.

so we conclude that they should call there store from Mac City to Mac Shitty.

Practice makes perfect

You probably have noticed that most of my photos are day time photos, I don't take much of night photos, they require different kind of techniques, I'm still not comfortable with using the ISO, I think I have to practice more with that.

Do you have any techniques your self?
Practice makes perfect

Flickr again and again

Why not join every flickr pool? most of them are open any one can join, well, this is what is actually happening, every one is in every pool, which means you will see the same photos over and over again, thats bad, relay bad.

what's my solution? Ill tell you, ether make the pool a privet pool, or choose what ever subject you like, say buldins photos only, dogs photos, cars, flowers... what ever but not open to every single subject, I don't want to point at pools here but just do a search under Kuwait groups and you'll see what I mean.

It's not the number of members that counts it's the contents.

God bless every and good luck posting.

Parallax

The Definition: Parallax, or more accurately motion parallax (Greek: παραλλαγή (parallagé) = alteration) is the change of angular position of two stationary points relative to each other as seen by an observer, due to the motion of an observer. Simply put, it is the apparent shift of an object against a background due to a change in observer position.

Now, lets put in into photography: With a lens-shutter camera, parallax is the difference between what the viewfinder sees and what the camera records, especially at close distances. This is caused by the separation between the viewfinder and the picture-taking lens. There is no parallax with single-lens-reflex cameras because when you look through the viewfinder, you are viewing the subject through the picture-taking lens.

So thats me.

Hi and welcome to my blog, why I have this and a flickr account, I'll tell you, some times I want to talk about a place I took some shots of and flickr is just not the place for that, and some other times I want to talk about photography (a specific subject) and flickr is also not the right place for it, when ever you start a subject in a flickr site people don't notice it, so by having my blog people who are interested in my "stuff" can ask Q's and talk about pure photography.

I have started with one of my favorite photos here, I have edited it with Photoshop to change the tunes, and I think it looks better that way.
