This was taken along highway 15 during my drive up to Athens, Georgia near Atlanta. Bad storms and tornadoes this weekend! The house was about 20 yards to my left…what would the people have thought if they came out and saw some little twirp standing in their front yard?

Remains of winter ...

At last I had some time to go out shooting after work. I spent most of it in the harbour of Grindavík watching the fishermen bringing home the catch of the day. I didn’t manage to get any decent shot of the action there. On my way home I made a brief stop at this place in Straumsvík, a stonethrow away from the aluminium smelter which greets all foreign visitors on their way to Reykjavík.

I spent way to much time processing this one and may have overdone it a bit. But I enjoyed my self being outside watching the first signs of springtime.

The process is way to long to describe here. But basically this is an HDR of 3 exposures with polarizer filter. I used photomatix for the HDR and then photoshop to work contrast into every part of the image, mainly with curves and some manual blending in of the 0EV exposure.

I’d also like to thank you all for your valuable input on my recent uploads.

The Funny Side of the Italian Parties…

Ieri è stata pubblicata la lista dei simboli ammessi alle prossime elezioni politiche.
Tanto per far notare che in Italia il bipolarismo proprio non piace, in origine erano stati presentati ben 181 simboli.

Visto e considerando che non siamo esattamente un popolo normale vi potete immaginare che le liste, ed in particolare i simboli, presentati non sono proprio tutti così “seri”.
Ecco i più divertenti secondo me:

The Funny Side of Italian Parties

Una cosa che poi m’ha fatto un po’ riflettere è stato rivedere Silvio travestito da Democratico Cristiano.

Ювентус – Фиорентина: 2-3 !!!

È appena finita una delle due sfide della stagione per la Viola: Juventus – Fiorentina che al 92’ siamo riusciti a vincere con un grandioso 3-2!!!

Mi sono visto lo show dei gigliati (che tra poco vi potrete rivedere qui) su TV7 Bulgaria (da qui il titolo) supportato da Radio Blu.

Come dice il mitico David Guetta: «Che goduriaaaa!!!!»

Fiorentina – Livorno dal Franchi

Stasera, ho sfruttato a pieno la pausa Campionato di Sanremo (e soprattutto la mia tessera FIGC) per recarmi al Franchi a vedere la Viola vedersela con i “vicini” Livornesi.

La partita non è stata un gran che nonostante la vittoria (sicuramente molto meglio il panardo a fine gara :P), ma comunque ho fatto qualche fotarella:

Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi
Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi Fiorentina - Livorno 2008 dal Franchi | Curva Fiesole

Sanremo e due…

Anche stasera, nonostante la stanchezza ed il ritorno a casa tardivo, ho guardato il festival, anche se onestamente questa seconda serata non mi ha entusiasmato…

Lo spettacolo non è stato al livello della prima serata nonostante Chiambretti, ma anche a livello musicale gli artisti non ci hanno dato moltissimo… Sottolinerei comunque:

  • Loredana Bertè (Musica e parole) – Devo risentirla, ma nella “solita stranezza” non pare male.
  • Ariel (Ribelle) – Allegra…
  • Tiromancino (Il rubacuori) – Provocante, vedremo…
  • Sergio Cammariere (L’amore non si spiega) – Magistrale.

Peccato che neanche stasera possa vedermi i mitici impigiamati del dopofestival; vista l’ora… :(

Frizzantemente Sanremo!

Anche quest’anno riparte il festival più odiato/amato dagli italiani, e dopo averlo offeso e boicottato per anni, lo scorso anno l’ho un po’ rivisto apprezzandone diverse performances.

Il 58° festival è partito alla grande dal lato televisivo (diretta) e quindi dal punto di vista dello spettacolo e dell’intrattenimento soprattutto grazie ad un super Chiambretti ed al solito Baudo (che bene o male – se ben spalleggiato – è l’unico tra i conduttori degli ultimi anni che è riuscito a fare un Sanremo guardabile) aiutati da una volenterosa (oltre che bellissima) Andrea Osvárt ma anche dal punto di vista della regia che, come l’anno scorso, è ben condotta (e di buon contorno alla musica).
Al contrario, a livello musicale (diretta) non ci sono stati molti artisti che mi hanno entusiasmato; comunque tra i tanti citerei:

  • Frankie Hi Nrg (Rivoluzione) – Rap nel vero senso del… Titolo!
  • Anna Tatangelo (Il mio amico) – Buono il tema, il resto sa un po’ troppo di “Gigi”.
  • Frank Head (Para parà ra rara) – Simpatica…
  • Eugenio Bennato (Grande sud) – Per me la meglio: suoni, colori ed entusiasmo del Sud in una canzone!
  • Valerio Sanzotta (Novecento) – Buona l’idea, ma poteva essere affrontata meglio nel testo.

Il resto, senza infamia senza lode tranne che Tricarico: per me, osceno.

Secondo semestre al primo giro di boa…

È un po’ che non posto qualche riga in questo spazietto, in realtà avevo degli appunti da metterci ma sono stato molto occupato anche perché ho ripreso le lezioni che mi sono riniziate martedì scorso con l’avvio del secondo semestre che prevede le seguenti materie:

  • Architettura degli Elaboratori – Studio del funzionamento dei calcolatori a basso livello
  • Algebra Lineare e Applicazioni – Matrici, vettori, spazi, ... :|
  • Analisi Matematica: Calcolo Integrale – Integrali in ogni specie…
  • Laboratorio di Informatica: Architettura degli Elaboratori – Programmazione in assembly per i processori di architettura MIPS.
  • Laboratorio di Programmazione – Programmazione in Java.

L’inizio è stato piuttosto positivo, anche se rispetto al primo semestre si fanno molte più cose in contemporanea, ad ogni modo c‘è sicuramente molto più da smanettare

AMCD: 30 e Lode!

L’escalation di compitini di Analisi è terminata mercoledì scorso, con il compito teorico e stasera è stato pubblicato il voto finale: un eloquente 30 e lode! :P

Un No per dire Sì alla Tramvia…

Domani a Firenze ci sarà il referendum informativo per la tramvia, io non ho diritto di voto, ma spero proprio che vinca il no (= non voglio che non sia fatta :P).

E poi, a me questa immagine che gli anti-tramvia usano per fare pubblicità negativa mi piace proprio tanto:

Duomo e Tramvia: Sì!

Da l’immagine del progresso in epoche diverse, poi questi tram sono sicuramente molto più belli che gli attuali autobus sudici ed inquinanti che attualmente passano di lì ad ogni ora!
