快去 Art.com，点开主页瞅瞅——有面熟的东东不？？？
作为互联网的有机构建者，我们有能力为当前及未来出现的问题制定出有效彻底的解决方案。Creative Commons就是一个很好的例证，我在Google也谈到了它如何影响我数字摄影世界的“盗版”现象。直接跳到11分处，听我细细道来。
还记得孩童时第一次听说海底隧道 (就是连通英法的那一条)。那时真想马上就过去见识见识！等了这么多年，总算还是实现了。
我提前买好票，早早地赶到伦敦站，好有时间拍些照片。我超爱火车站——新旧通吃。伦敦的新站也有种怀旧风在里面……很难解释。
等上了车，出了站，我决定打开安卓上的GPS功能。我永远不会忘记，看着自己的小点划过英格兰的乡间，太惬意了！一“入水”点就消失了。

几件小事提请注意：
1) 我在所有的更新、网页和主要网站顶端添加了Google +1。
2) 取消了左侧的推特工具栏。
3) 最新的HDR 教程中的拼写错误已经修改。
今日太平洋时间中午12点（东部时间下午3点）快来加入Google+ 在线！今天请来了Cali Lewis 还有John P，大家一起聊摄影……精彩敬请期待！
我知道我拍过很多教堂，并不是我有意如此，只是对于宏大富有美感的建筑情有独钟。貌似过去的500年间，教堂一直都享受着充裕的资金支持，使得这些“伟大的建筑”得以呈现在世人面前。 不惜巨资构建“伟大”的还有政府、公司以及运动团体。可说真的，政府拿钱堆出来的往往比较无趣；一些公司企业的建筑的确令人叹为观止，然而只有极少的一部分有新意；至于那些运动团体，造的东西的确不错，不过其外观与公用紧密相连。还有其它花大钱盖大楼的组织我没有谈到么？
我发现每次一拍大教堂——比如下面这张伦敦的古老教堂，我都会拍一张全景加一张竖拍。一次根本没法儿照全！然后我想，如果有可能，为什么不来张360度的全图？ 可是到那儿算结束呢？嘿嘿，这是个问题……
不过，说真的，我总是欣赏不来网上那些全景和360度全图，你们呢？
So, while at EG, the very first speaker was Stephen Tobolowsky. He was hilarious, and, to my surprise, he told a long story that centered around Icelandic Horses. I talked to him later when we ran into one another at coffee, and he was super-nice. And no, he wasn’t the one I referred to early in the Matt Groening post. They are both nice in an unassuming Hollywood-way, and that is cool in my book.
I just found out that he has a podcast called “The Tobolowsky Files” that you might enjoy if you have a giant gap in your life and you have no idea how to fill it.
Speaking of Icelandic Horses, here are my favorite Icelandic Horse Photos:
The Millennium Bridge crosses the Thames and terminates here, at the Tate Museum. They don’t like you to take photos in here. Heaven forbid someone should make art in a museum.
I mean really… isn’t it insulting? Who runs the committee at the Tate that decides, “Oh, we mustn’t let people take photos in this part of the museum. They might be making art! What possible reason would they have? Quite nefarious, no doubt!”
Anyway, I find it insulting how these museums treat me like a child. I hope they secretly have somewhat empty lives… and perhaps when they are in some ultra-modern part of the museum and prattling on about the hidden meaning of clump of steel and fluff… that they secretly know they are just spouting a bunch of nonsense in a grandiose effort to placate other fakers around them.

When I was out in California recently, I met Om Malik, the guy behind GigaOm.com. I didn’t really know what to expect. I got the vibe that he was either a long-time fan or a new one…either way, he could not have been nicer. And, of course, I was a fan of his too, since I’m a tech-news junkie. Anyhoo, we talked about all sorts of things, and he ended up writing a story called “Now Starring You in a Movie About You“.
While I was there in SF, I ended up stringing a bunch of little meetings together. A few hours later, I was still at Om’s secret hideout coffee-shop, and Frederick Van from This Week in Photo came over to get me on video (will be posted soon). While we were recording the video out in the little garden area, Om came right back out with another one of his tech paramours and sat at the table beside us. He has a knowing nod and wry smile that kind of sets you at ease…
Today’s final one is Tips from the Clubhouse in my contribution to the week of HDR Tips with Rick Sammon. We have a private area here of StuckInCustoms that people get access too when they get the HDR Tutorial on Video. I asked them for some of their thoughts, and got some good ones back!
Did you miss the other tips? Here they are, listed out:
My bulbous 14-24 lens is a problem in the rain! If you haven’t seen the Nikon 14-24 (see my Nikon 14-24 Review) before, then most people think it is a fish-eye lens, but it isn’t. The apex of the glass juts out almost just beyond the tiny bayonet, and it seems to suck rain drops into it! I’m always wiping down that dang thing.
But… here’s another little hint. That lens can shoot at F/2.8. That means you can focus on infinity for most of your landscape shots, and you’ll only see a few, if any, raindrops that form on the lens. It’s a very nifty trick! And, with a wide-angle lens, infinity ain’t that far away.
