No, I havent forgotten you either, planet gnome!
Thanks to Ravi for reminding me we also need more desktop wallpapers.. duh. 
Wallpaper again..
Originally uploaded by tigert.
Maybe some of you Nokia 770 users will enjoy this very summer themed wallpaper I did - I shot it this morning when fetching the dogs back from my mom's place (they were having a vacation there during GUADEC).
The wallpaper should work nicely with the new OS2006 upgrade that was recently released.
GUADEC Photostream
So in my mad blogging spree, i started to add some photos to the GUADEC Flickr group. Check it out, it has quite a bit of content already. And also, add your pics too, and comment away
OpenRAW.org survey
From the OpenRaw website: "OpenRAW is a Working Group of photographers and other people interested in advocating the open documentation of digital camera RAW files."
Basically they are a group of concerned photographers who believe that whatever your digital camera produces is your digital negative and you should have completely ownership and control of the data as you took the picture. And the data format of the files should be open and public knowledge so people can write better tools to convert and handle those files. I of course do agree with that.
Anyway, they have a survey on their website which you should fill in if you have an opinion in this issue.
My photos are my artwork. And I really hope I can choose the software I edit them with. I want to support innovation and freedom and thus I am very happy to use UFRaw - an excellent Gimp plugin and standalone tool. While I should help the author with the workflow and user interface someday when I have the time, it still does a heck of a good job, supporting tone curves and basically has everything I need to make nice post-processing on my pictures. And it comes by default in Ubuntu, so it's always there without extra effort
D100
Hubert, isnt it pretty crazy to think that the Nikon D100 first became available in 2002?
I am totally in love with mine. I am eyeing the D200 with great interest, but right now I have really no reason to upgrade yet, this is a lovely camera. I just went past 20000 shots.. crazy..
Summit Wrap-Up
The Summit is over, here's a group photo of everyone present.

For those interested, the lens I used is a Sigma 10-20mm wideangle zoom - highly recommended if you ask me..
The rest of my photos (and I will add more once I get time) are here.
Disappointed at Nikon
Not about the hardware, I am loving my D100, but this sucks rocks.
Such idiotic games with encrypted file formats are not something we need in this century. It's my own business what software I use to open my RAW photos, why should Nikon decide for me? This sucks for all the free software projects that have support for NEF-format. I rather wish Nikon would concentrate on making the best cameras instead of playing power games with Adobe.
Nice review of the new Canon digital SLR
Michael Reichmann has written the most refreshing, practical and actually useful review of the new Canon 350D - and the rest of his site is good reading too... This is something I enjoyed reading: not just the usual endless masturbating over specs and test images, but actually something a photographer can find useful.
Sometimes you wonder what happened to the photography itself, everyone seems so focused on the technical details on their cameras.. Do people remember to take any real photos anymore?
Thanks Michael!
Boston is beautiful at sunset..
On a related note, looks like I have shot a bit over 3 gigabytes of photos while in here.. Of course the art of appearing as a good photographer involves only showing you the one above
