Hello Everybody! Well, today's the day! The bid official launch of my new website. After dealing with mixed thoughts about continuing to maintain my old website (www.rotule.qc.ca, dead now) or upgrading it, I opted to creating a new and improved (...)

(...) Any high contrast scheme will tire the eyes, be it black on white or white on black. But there's more: I don't have very good sight, wearing strong glasses (-9.5, -9.75 if that tells you anything). Also only use one eye at a time (anyone of (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.publish)

Some- well alot- of it is your camera- fixed focus 4 feet to infinity ain't going to do very well in the macro realm. Something like the $200 canon A60 would do a lot better in getting closer. Just resist the urge to get closer then 4 feet. Crop if (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.publish.photography, FTX)
