Back from the Camp!
January 21, 2007 | 3:36 pmJust got back from the camp a few hours ago. It was life-changing, to say the least. A few weeks back, I used the word “broaden my horizons” in my “author” section of my website. At that time, I had no idea that I would be featured on Scobleizer, get a camera or meet Leprosy patients. Now, I truly feel that my horizons have broadened. Detailed report comin uo, after school…
Obligatory SuperMacro of a Flower Hosted on Zooomr
Most people seem to post a SuperMacro of a flower or some insect first, and I too am following suit. If you notice carefully, there is quite a bit of noise in the picture, because I accidentaly shot this one at ISO 200, even though the light was good enough for ISO 80(This one was taken in the morning, and I forgot to change the previous night’s settings). But still, I am pretty freaked out that I am able to produce images of this quality. I have around 1800 pictures waiting to be categorized, tagged and uploaded, and with school tomorrow, It’s goanna take some time for that to happen. So, please bear with me.
And, I have decided to use Zooomr for hosting my pictures over Flickr. Why?
- The lone programmer there is just two years older than me! And, he was dablling in HTML when he was 5. Friggin cool.
- They give away free Pro accounts to bloggers. It’s good for a year, but I hope to be able to earn enough to buy my own Zooomr Pro account by then.
- The features rock! And, with just one person to convince, new features get in fast.

deannie | January 21, 2007 | 3:55 pmWhat sort of seed is that? I wish I had a better eye, I don’t see the noise in that first image. Heading over to Zoomr!
Well done. I wish I could have had more opportunities
Krzysztof Kurowski | January 21, 2007 | 7:58 pmWell done. I wish I could have had more opportunities to broaden my horizons when I was 15. Good luck!
@deannie: I donno enough biology to know what seed it
yuvipanda | January 22, 2007 | 1:18 am@deannie: I donno enough biology to know what seed it is, but my last year’s biology lessons seem to be telling me that it is a type of seed which disperses itself by attatching itself to animals with the help of a hook. And since this one hurt when I removed it, I guess that’s true:)
@Kurowski: Thanks!
