As per usual - another technical journal entry about the hardware I use for my photography.
After watching a bunch of documentaries filled with vacuous rambling about the "emotion" and thought behind photography, while containing no practical information, I see my style as a good thing.
I'm back on a decent monitor, a CRT, after being stuck on a cheap LCD for a few months. It's a good screen, and I've been able to calibrate the colours and levels to an acceptable level of accuracy.
My scanner got fried during my move from Melbourne to Syndey, but the nice people at Maxwell Industries fixed it for free, as they extended the warranty. Lovely.
I'm picking up a new computer next week, plenty of processor grunt, memory, and hard drive space should make scanning and post producing my photos less of a chore. I'm looking forward to the boost in my productivity.
In the last 4 months I've shot 100-200 photos, and out of those maybe 20 are keepers. I'm focusing on scanning and publishing more of my photos over the next few weeks.
It's about time.
