That's so wrong it's just got to be ... wrong.

Club shots are far too nonuniform to script further - levels and cropping by hand, re-crop some from original large image, then scripts to sharpen and produce the final JPEGs and an initial index page. But judicious scripting does save considerable effort.

Mind you, this batch of photos is teh suxx0r - grainy as hell with crappy colour, many shots having come out simply unusable. I'm suspecting the amount of smoke in the place fouling up the white balance and flash.

Saturday night pub good. I walked in expecting just to find shekhmet and duranorak to discover the far end table filled to the brim with the usual netscum. Everyone except me was going to Slimelight, of course. Had a pint and realised I was still trashed from the previous night, so Coke and cloves thereafter. (CLOVES!!!) Stayed curled up in a corner with duranorak, sipping our sugar water and observing the crowd.

Today is a Quiet Day In. Caffeine, geeking, working out what I need to have together for the Return of the chix0r ...

That one of Moomin with the person facing away behind him looks like he has great big black leather wings if you don't quite focus on it properly.
Next time my making things queue has gone down, i will have a go at making him some, maybe. (However i first have to make myself some, so that i can get used to what i need to do to make them fit properly before i try to make them for someone else.)

Heh. Somewhat :-)

(How dare he be so effortlessly photogenic!)

...no, I don't trust myself to comment, really. ~g~ But yes, you're right, it sort of does.

Possibly - I've not had smoke foul up photos. Might it have something to do with much of the detail being in the low-order few bits of each pixel, in the textures of black and so on? Any automatic balancing, by you or by the camera, will make noise in the image more obvious when it tries to bring out more of the detail in the black. Did you use automatic white balance, or did you fix the white balance to be "flash" ?

Goths are hard to photograph :)

Ah, that sounds plausible. Not sure what the white balance was.

"Goths are hard to photograph :)"

Getting them to pose is often no effort whatsoever ;-)

Grr... I'm still miffed that you lost the pics from B-Movie - nobody got a picture of me in that outfit!

[reddragdiva]

I'm somewhat more than 'miffed'!

Well, I'm somewhat more than miffed too, but it's not my camera, so I have no right to be *that* miffed ;-)

Dude,

God just had a word with me, he said that there's nothing wrong with pressing return on the command line.

[reddragdiva]

The first line is what I typed into bash, the rest is the expansion - note the string of !commands.
