If you find that Nemo - it might eben pose for you.

This is the worlds only swim mask that has an integrated waterproof digital camera, eliminating the need to carry an underwater camera, keeping your hands free as you swim. The 5 MP camera can operate to a depth of 15’, making it ideal for use when snorkeling or in swimming pools. The masks eye pieces are made of tempered glass and have integrated crosshairs that allow you to line up shots easily; simply press the shutter button to take pictures or videos. An LED inside the mask tells you if you are in still picture or video mode.

Friends - I am back at my computer! Yeah……

Had my big first digital photo job on Barcelona taking pictures at the ECCMID and everything went very well. But the 4 days I spent there took all my energy - I am still kind of out of it.

Above you can see the odd skyscraper called "Aguas" shot from the roof of my hotel with my new camera "Sigma SD14". I had to shoot on ISO 800 because I didn’t bring a tripod but it’s still pretty impressive I think.

I also had stupid ass Windows Vista problems - all the trouble is caused by their new indexed search options. Delete, renaming and copying files took forever! This caused also Server Busy messages for my raw file editing program … all together a huge pain. I turned the indexing off under services and things are back to normal.

Hope you weren’t too bored without me … and a big thank you to Ross for shelling out some posts.

Ok, now back to blogging business!

Enjoy life as long as you can - bull dodging and or jumping might shorten it.

I always wanted something like this - I always fiddle around with finding the right surface to put my digicam for longtime exposures.

What’s missing from your photo album? YOU! There are lots of pictures of your friends, your sister, your dog… but none of you. Why? Somebody has to hold the camera! That’s a lame excuse. Yes, we know the average geek is relatively anti-social, and we don’t want you to break those habits, per se, but you sure could use an extra hand.

What we’ve got is a tiny tripod that mounts to the base of your camera, It folds flat - a mere 6mm thick, so you never have to take it off! Set your camera down, place the feet so the lens is pointed right, press the timer-switch, and BOOSH. There you have a properly framed picture that proves you were there. You exist. You matter. See? It’s all about being there.

Today was the opening day of the new Zoo in Valencia - Bioparc! No real cages so you really feel like you are right next to the animals and in some cases you really are. Check out the full post with tons of pictures and a video on: Valencia Blog

RGS Tip: Never watch a bad movie again

Taking off in Shenzhen was exciting but landing in Beijing was not anything boring. The Olympic Games will be held in Beijing this year and the whole city is getting ready for it .. and just flying you can see that they still have ways to go (even though those pictures are 6 month old)

It looks like they will be well prepared!

But I don’t like that they put these fake walls around the Hutongs just so you can’t see the sometimes rundown buildings while driving down the bigger streets. Which is just sad. I think the Hutongs were my favorite part of whole Beijing and they make it look like they are embarrassed by them.

Ohh .. we got a nice view out of our window now honey - WALL!

You can see also find these comics throughout the while city preparing Chinese of Westerners. Don’t really see the need for that either - the Chinese have been nothing but nice and polite to us.
