Kelly Clarkson HD Jan 17, 2012: 7 – “Fix You” (Coldplay) TU Center, Albany, NY

07 Jan

Kelly starts the unplugged portion of the show with a cover picked by fans online – tonight’s pick, Coldplay’s “Fix You,” which she said afterward (during my battery switch) that she almost started crying during. Filmed from Sec 107 in 1080p HD with a Nikon S8100. The entire show was captured so sit back and enjoy! I apologize for some of the auto-focus issues in low light.

Canada DNA art

07 Jan

Canadian DNA art plus pinhole cameras in Colombia. Scientists studying DNA in the Canadian city of Montreal have recently been dealing with requests from a most unusual client. Two friends based in the country’s capital Ottawa – one a trained scientist, the other a marketing specialist – came up with a fun idea that would surprisingly transform both of their lives. Descibed as “Andy Warhol meets CSI” the two men send requests off to the DNA lab and then your unique configuration is turned into a work of art. An idea that was initially met with scepticism and a trickle of requests has now become a viable business and a flood of customers. Shooting for peace Pinhole cameras which do not need a lens but just a small opening in a box or tin that manipulates light are a popular science project in many Colombian schools because they are cheap and easy to make. Now a new initiative Shooting Cameras for Peace is using pinhole cameras to capture the stories of some of the thousands of young people in the Colombian capital Bogota who are forced to live in extreme poverty. Many had to flee the armed conflict in the countryside, their education and their childhood interrupted. Since the photography project started hundreds of kids have shared their images with their communities and with the world.

7 January, 2013 – Oh No, Not Another Superzoom!

07 Jan

Yes, another Superzoom. The Panasonic SX50, with the longest zoom range available at 24–1200mm equiv, all with decent (though not really great) image quality, and a very competative price.

Is this the best Superzoom yet? Is it worth your attention? Find out in my just published review.

  

 "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high.  Wow!"
