I've opted myself to take part in this fundraising event as I'm not an "eventy" person usually so this should be the first of many more!

The paperwork arrived today and I've set up a sponsor page online through www.justgiving.com/robbiekhan - this should be the fastest way to raise the minimum of £100 to be eligible for me to take part!

The Abseil is set for 13:30 on 19th April and I need to have all sponsors before this date
If you'd like to read up more on the event please visit: www.rowanshospice.co.uk/?conte…
Looking forward to seeing how much can be raised!

Many thanks,
Rob.

Well you know I'm shooting with Canon hehe and I will be upgrading to the 5D MkII (7D) or whatever it gets called. But ISO 12800 with a 2 or even possibly 3 stop sensitivty difference is amazing.

Hooray for Super Llamas!I have x1 Super Llamas now, no idea what to do with it , however xD

Thanks everyone for the favs and everythingDue to a massive backlog on dA for messages, submissions and also because I don't have a pro account I've been unable to find the time to reply to everything but be sure that you have my thanks

I think I'm getting too old to.......understand what the Llama badges are!

Monitor Calibration in Windows 7Reading this article: http://www.pusztaiphoto.com/articles/colormgmt/win7/default.aspx solved an issue I was seeing on Win7 where the LUT wasn't being reloaded when logging off and back on and some other times like when changing resolution or GFX card options.
I am using Lacie BlueEye Pro (v4.5.5) and especially in this new version the linked article is useful because the newer version no longer contains the LUT loader application as it relies on the OS to load it.
Happy calibrating

Firefox3 Colour Management *updated*The latest version of Firefox (official 3.5 and BETA 3.6 versions) can support colour managed profiles for those of you who have:
A) Wide gamut monitors (such as the HP L2475W).
B) Colour calibrated monitors.
To enable or check what the mode is currently set to simply type "about:config" into your address bar without the quotes and do a search for "gfx.color"
On the entry "gfx.color.mode" will probably be a number value, the default should be 2 but you can customise this with:
0 = Color management is disabled for everything
1 = Color management is enabled for all rendered graphics including untagged images which will assume sRGB
2 = Color management is enabled for all rendered graphics except untagged images which are left unmanaged.
If web images on FlickR/DeviantART and other photo based sites were looking too bland and washed out then the above may help resolve this.
Anyone wishing to colour calibrate (I highly recommend it as the results are excellent) then should look at the XRite

Finally an article on The Reg I can stand by!https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/police_photographer_stops/
Here's a nice article outlining the state of Public Photography country wide where people are being stop searched and being treated like suspects. I know many of these stories have been told in various media in the past but it's nice to get the big picture (haha!) and see it all in one.
I myself have only had one encounter in Lee-on-Solent by 2 officers who stopped their car to ask what I was doing and thankfully the Gosport Force has some sense because I told them I was photographing the area and they bid their farewell. I don't know what I would have done though if it had turned ugly because back then I was not aware of the rights of taking photos on public land!
Edit*
An update to this, The Reg also has a new article outlining what you can photograph when you're out and about: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/photography_law/
Perhaps I'm starting to like the reg more now

16 Examples of how NOT to Pitch a LoglineI joined a Twitter dealie where you pitch to agents over Twitter, and I swear I learned more in one day about pitching than I have reading any number of how-to-write books.
A logline is a one sentence pitch of your story. It can be used on Twitter, but it's also used in person as an elevator pitch. It's the distilled essence of stakes, story, and character. Some people find it frustrating and intimidating, but I find it easier to do a logline than a query.
I got a few bites from agents, so I was quite pleased. I gained a lot of sympathy for them around 3 in the afternoon, though. Every pitch starts looking the same, and the really, really stupid ones start standing out. Some suffer from bad metaphors, bland stakes, or simple incomprehensibility. I've got 16 examples right here for you, so if any of your loglines look like these, you may want to consider a rewrite. (Incidentally, don't post your own loglines for my perusal. I'm not going to sit here and tell a bunch of people they

YouTube stuff + Update stuffSo, things are little bit hectic right now, and YouTube has been giving me a bit of hassle lately. I seem to have been losing subscribers since my last stream on my main channel, with a very big loss on my last Animated Atrocities upload, which is worrying, especially because any theory that I've had towards the numbers doesn't fit all of the evidence. (If people were getting sick of me talking about Growing Around stuff, then I should have had a positive turnaround when I uploaded an Animated Atrocities video). Add to that that like every single video this year has been copyright claimed, and let's just say that things have been discouraging as of late.
Other than that, I'm trying to stay optimistic, although the hot summer is making that a little bit difficult. But, some stuff that's coming up I guess. Most importantly is my Animated Atrocity review - with the upcoming Rugrats reboot, it's time to tackle Angelica and Suzie Preschool Daze, that show there that lasted four episo

Hyper-Surreal Fractal Chess Set - The GAMEThe 3D PRINTED

The Project I have been working on subconsciously for years, which I mentioned in my previous post is now finished.
--- The Hyper Surreal Fractalic Mystical Chess set - My Masterpieces ---
The full set is a play in 7 acts about humanity, the evolution and the quest for knowledge through enlightenment and superfluity until the day when mankind finally became the plague of the planet.
A chess set immensely more surreal than Max Ernsts, Marcel Duchamps and Dalís sets.
Chess was made to be played with pieces of pure fractal mathematics, I now know that!
