The Museum of Fine Arts of Seville or Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla is a museum in Seville, Spain, a collection of mainly Spanish visual arts from medieval period to the early 20th century, including a choice selection of works from the so-called Golden Age of Sevillian painting during the 17th century, such as Murillo, Zurbarán, Francisco de Herrera the younger, and Valdés Leal.
The museum was founded in 1839, after the desamortizacion or shuttering of religious monasteries and convents, collecting works from across the city and region. Originally, the site held the convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asunción, founded by St. Peter Nolasco during the reign of King Ferdinand III of Castile. Extensive remodeling in the early 17th century was led by the architect Juan de Oviedo y de la Bandera.

The first official Update for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 has been released! This free update fixes some irritating bugs and adds support for raw files for a host of new digital camera bodies but what excites me the most about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 are the understated words “now able to work with 32-bit HDR files.” In geek-speak, this means that Photoshop Lightroom can now work with 32-bit Tif HDR images. In plain English, this means that we can now polish up our high-bit High Dynamic Range images using all of Lightroom’s powerful and efficient Develop Module tools. As a professional landscape photographer I have dabbled with exposure blending techniques for many years. Over the years, I have tried to master at least four different HDR image compositing programs but none of them ever felt fluid for me. I still need an additional program to merge my bracketed exposures together but now I can 99% of the work with tools that I already know and love. Thanks to this new feature in Lightroom 4.1 I can now go from Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 to Photoshop CS6’s to create my 32-bit High Dynamic Range Tif file and back to Lightroom for further image refinement in almost no time. I am so pleased with this new routine that I made this video tutorial just to demonstrate this techniques speed and simplicity. For more info on some of the other improvements in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom update see thelightroomlab.com
Just Posted: We’ve just added a 36-image sample gallery to our hands-on preview of the Nikon Coolpix P7700. We’ve been using a production P7700 for a few days and as we work out way through the necessary studio and real-world shooting we’ve created a sample gallery to show you what the camera can do. Our gallery contains images shot in a range of different conditions, both indoors and out. Click the links below to go see our full hands-on preview of the P7700 now updated with with real-world samples.

I took a leisurely, one hour walk home from work today and got all kinds of new pictures for my sticker-art/graffiti exhibit next month. I’m going to go broke matting and framing them, I think.
I love those sheep and I see them everywhere. Mary has been derelict in her duty.

It seems like everyday something new is sprouting up in not just Austin but in pretty much every city. This condo is one of the most recent buildings to come up as well as
The W which is currently under construction.
