Let's dance our selfs to hell

I've found this on Reddit:


The sad thing is you can't tell whether this is real or just a joke.

Let's dance and enjoy this weekend so we can all meet Diane in hell.

ICE train as HDR

During my last trip to Luxembourg last week I had the pleasure of spending an hour the München train station because I had to change there. Unlike some other "develped" countries in Germany you can take photos at train stations without getting arrested for being a "terrorist".

This picture is merged from 3 photos shot with exposure bracketing with +-2EV. Qtpfsgui was used for tonal mapping.

Google's new browser/spyware out of beta

Google's new data mining tool, the new Chrome browser, is now out of beta stadium. This means it should be ready for the "normal" users. This new weapon against the Microsoft's classic desktop concept as we know it has been quiet controversial. On the one hand praised by the developers but on the other hand dismissed by privacy activists.

If you are curious what all this hype is about but are worried about your privacy you might want to try Iron (http://www.srware.net/software_srware_iron_download.php). It's based on Chrome source code with all the spying features taken out.

New panorama

I've been experimenting with panoramatical photography for quiet some time now.

This is one of the panoramas i've published on viewat.org. It's a bridge between Czech Republic and Slovakia.
