]]> RavenMobile An all new stock-photos.de is on it's way. 2012-05-11T23:50:00+02:00 2012-05-11T23:49:00+02:00 tag:myway,2012:myway.1252 I will continue to use the (quite popular) domain stock-photos.de for my photographies, but I decided something I knew for quite some time now. The stock photo website will be migrated to a pure photography portfolio that shows the field I love the most: Available Light Photography. This is because the thing I love concerning photography is to catch special moments using the natural light of the sun in all it's variations. It will take some more time to finish the site and achieve the navigation I have in mind. All photos will be sorted into various sections that focus a lot more on themes rather than on a simple stock photo categorization. Stay tuned for more information. stock-photos.de harald wittmaack available light photography

The service itself is only intended for use on mobile devices such as Android and iOS, but since the API got released there are also a lot of web applications to gain access to the photos. One of the good web interfaces I use is extragr.am, a slick interface to browse through the photos of your contacts, comment photos and search using keywords. There are a lot of other webinterfaces, but I like this one best. Another nice service is Instaport. You can use it to get an archive of your previously posted images in a ZIP archive, an RSS file or you can directly export them to Facebook and Flickr. instagram extragram instaportFrequent readers noticed that I'm using Instagram quite a lot now.

Mostly because of too much stress and a lot of other things. But finally I found my love for capturing moments again. It seems I just needed a new platform to share my photos and get the instant feedback that people actually like it. It's been one of these dark mornings in the office before starting to work, when I finally found the time to install Instagram and have a look at it. Well. It was a good decision. There are a lot of beautiful photos to discover and sharing is easy and fast. If you want to follow me thereand already have an account, you can access my profile through the webinterface extragram or directly follow me through the Instagram app searching for my username "ravennce"!

The movie is starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland, to mention the most important ones. The plot is very well told with a lot of good moments. The set design and the special effects are perfect for the mood the movies wants to create. To cut the long story short: These were 142 minutes well spent! 8.5 out of 10. This evening I went to see The Hunger Games (IMDB) together with some friends in the Xinedome.

I just have read that Spotify has started to port their libspotify and a player over to AmigaOS 4.x. It seems they got a SAM 460 with AmigaOS4 and the SDK installed by a (indeed very cool) donator and agreed to port their software. You can already get a view on the machine it is developed on in the appropriate news over at Gizmodo FR. More information can be found in the appropriate thread over at amigans.net. Greatness! Well done! Wow. I just have read that Spotify has started to port their libspotify and a player over to AmigaOS 4.x.

After registering you get the download link via e-mail quite fast and after clicking through the installation process you can instantly start to use the tool. My first goal when trying out a new 3D program for the first time is to create a bubblehead. The GUI is really easy to use and stunningly intuitive. You basically start with a primitive and just pull out or push in the surface using brushes. I succeeded to create a simple bubblehead within some minutes and it was quite fun to do it. You can see the fast result on the right. During my next session I'll try something more advanced and also use the painting tools. Up to now the tool is quite fun to use and I'm looking forward to explore it a bit further.
