I thought I would make cool picture of Milky Way but instead I got the noisiest picture ever. Approximately 55.6, 33.9, looking southwards.

Curiosity just landed on Mars. Watched it live on NASA TV. So cool. You guys did great job.

Important

I study electronics at Tallinn University of Technology.

Target to summer 2012: collect $$$. Here is the progress:

Inspiring others was Steve's greatest achievement.

Another flight

Here are some pictures of my RC Piper in flight.

My first landing!

I spent one month in simulator. I crashed two times on takeoff. Today, on a third try I landed my radio controlled Piper J-3 successfully. Although the plane hit runway hard and then nose-dived, getting minor wheel and propeller damage, it was a pleasure to bring it back in one piece.

Bmx photos

Took several pictures last week. Haven't shot outdoors for 2 years, now my legs and shoulders hurt:)

And one more, with my name under the picture

It seems that there will be no updates till that fucking university ends. (2013-2014)

Football, football, only football. Are there any news for those, who doesn't like football?

Two or three weeks ago decided to do something connected with music.


And a slightly edited picture from previous post:

One day 3 years ago I was so inspired by seeing how artist painted cars on a parking that I decided to try it myself. This proved to be an epic fail and since then I never tried to paint a vehicle.

Last weekend I decided to create difficult and detailed image with cars, ghetto and dark violet-blue sky (like this color). So, 27 hours of work resulted in the image below:


Some details:


And the pencil sketch. In the beginning I wanted to paint big moon (like the one from Cats in term of colours), but it was so distracting that I left blank sky.

File of the week

WOHHOOO! I finally got a file of the week in Istockphoto. Hope it will bring sales up:)

Nec 2490wuxi2

Several weeks ago received my 24" Nec. There is a lot of info about it in the web, I will only tell some things. First of all... 24" is quite comfortable, and I do not feel it to be huge. Is is just as it should be. However, neck hurts as my head moves much:D.

On photo: sizes of 2490wuxi2 and 15" laptop screen compared.


About colors. The lack of A-TW polarizer is not such big trouble, but anyway the angles of view are quite small. In fact, you have to sit right in front of the screen and make only small movements as corners start fading very fast. But, as I have alreadry said, it is not a big problem for me.
After calibrating with Eye-One I can see 0-1, but cannot distinguish 255-253. Overmore, after several calibration attempts, I still get such curves:

(Confused)
This is not funny at all, as I do not need magenta in highlights. Haven't solved it yet, but of course I will.
Update: that was due to VGA connection. After changing computer I connected the display with DVI cable and the problem disappeared. I can see both 0-1 and 254-255, those calibration curves from image above are straight. Excellent!

Also, I found that 7" Bamboo tablet is difficult to use with 2 monitor configuration, as cursor movements become too abrupt. At single 24" it's ok.

Friday morning

-20C, if local weather site provides correct information.
