Notre Dame you have never seen before!

Notre Dame in Paris, France. Ok I know its a bit strong in saturation and grainy. I just love it. Processed with Qtpfsgui program. Creating this process is not easy as stated from my previous post HERE. Its free but need a lot of practice. There are other images in this blog that I have created using this processed. Do check them out

• My two year old nephew with a paper fan
• Crossover Band
• My Family Portrait

Another style that is of course the Dave Hill Effects. Mention in previous post on faking it. Fake HDR

Thanks for viewing

It is alway good to backup, backup, backup

After returning from Europe recently was a tremendous expreience for me especially looking forward to post edit those thousand of images and upload on my facebook and even uploading to my Istockphoto. Didnt realised that recently my harddrive start to fail. Cold sweat running in as for few hours it keep saying "error on I/O device". All my photos inside!!!!

Scramble thru the net looking for answer and only get the answer is, it's toasted! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! A couple of years ago, I had the same problems and those data were all gone. With this new harddrive that is failing, I am not gonna let another thousands of photos gone "kaput". But nothing is all failed. It got started back yesterday and immediately I start transferring to a new harddrive. Well first to save are those Euro photos and stock value images. Now slowly tranferring the rest of the data. I read an article about this guys and he has about 3 harddrive of backups. SO investing a couple of hundred on a few harddrive is better than losing those hard work photos.

Crossing my finger and hoping to take all the data out. So goodbye Maxtor Touch4 and hello Samsung HD...

Travel Blog: Paris-Helsinki-Interlaken

Just got back from a two weeks break and it took me awhile to settle in to reality. Anyway I try to blog while I was away and face quite a few problems with the net. A few years ago I read an article about always not getting enough images on your travel. Regretting on getting that certain images will leave you scars for awhile since it be quite awhile before you go travel again. So I did follow that advice and end up with 2400 shots to be processed. To me that is huge especially with the amount of time I have to juggle between work, my Istockphoto business and family. But when I look at the photos, I do still have some regrets on certain photos which I should have shot better. So it is never enough isnt it. Will be posting some photos I took to share here. And if anyone wants to find out about the locations that go or other inquiries, do give me a pop.

This are the list of upcoming photos that will be posted

• Paris, France
• Helsinki, Finland
• Tempere, Finland
• Kangasala, Finland
• Interlaken, Switzerland
• Berne, Switzerland
• Zurich, Switzerland
