Photography
I have a Canon PowerShot SD450: {nid MY4}
{{{ P-ID:30FF NT Firmware Version: GM1.00D December 19, 2005 19:46:17 {nid MY5} }}}
Most of my public pictures are on Flickr. {nid VP}
I've installed the Canon Hacking Developers Kit. {nid MXW}

Techniques {nid LL8}
Introduction to White Balance {nid LL9}
Wide aperture (smaller f-stop) decreases depth of field and gives you blurry background. {nid LLA}
Try increasing the ISO for darker shots or action shots. {nid LLB}
shutter speed {nid LLC}
My camera doesn't have aperture or shutter priority modes, but they're good features to be aware of. {nid LLD}
Photo Mosaics {nid N18}
The best tool for doing these on Linux seems to be metapixel: {nid N19}

- Create Photo Mosaics with Metapixel {nid N1B}
- Three photo mosaic apps compared {nid N1C}
Tools {nid VQ}
I've developed my own tools for cataloging my digital prints, which I will eventually clean up and release. They are inspired and based heavily on GeraldOskoboiny's digital photo publishing software. {nid VR}
Notes {nid IL6}
Tags + types. Tags can have types. If I want to get really funky, types can have relationships -- an ontology! For example, the "Eugene Eric Kim" tag could be of type "People." This would allow me to do faceted classification. {nid IL7}
Collections (or albums) cannot be tags, because you want to be able to do special things, like define cardinality and other metadata within a collection. However, you ought to be able to assign a photo to multiple collections. {nid IL8}
I'd love to integrate GregElin's FotoNotes for granular annotations. {nid IL9}
Leica {nid N1J}
One day, I'm going to get a Leica M8: {nid N1K}
