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

Make deviantArt a fucking better place!!! Part 1Okay, guys,
I think I need to be hard. I am more than 9 years an deviant here on dA. This is good for me to compare the past and now. And maybe have a clue how dA will be in the future.
I have the feeling dA is getting more and more heartless. And I am not the only one. I set up a little poll, and the few who took part gave me this:

The first years I was here, everything here was great! Great artists, nice people who you could talk to (and who talked with you, TOO!), a lot of fun with the community, reaction on my work, reactions on what I wrote for you, feedback like comments and faves and so on. But this has changed extremly. I feel lonely here most of the time. I have no Fun being part of this community anymore. (And I think may have the same opinion, as many left the community)
But what can we do?
This is why I will write some journals, all about this topic. I will tell you my point of few, and

Free! Iwatobi Swim Club cosplay shoot outtakes!When my friends and I first heard of "that swimming anime" called Free!, this is pretty much what we expected:
Not that there's anything wrong with that hahah, but all we were expecting was to be able to laugh at how exploitable and full of fanservice this show could be because swimming would require everyone to be half-naked. Although it started out that way, the more episodes we watched, the more we realized...
We were wrong. So wrong.
What we got was a heartwarming coming-of-age story with endearing characters and interesting dynamics. It spoke of friendship and learning your self-worth and figuring out what drives you forward.
I'd write more about how I feel about it but it would take up too much time and space over here, so here are a couple of posts that have already done the job well:
1. A detailed literary analysis and trope driven deconstruction of H
