There are two reasons why I write about What The Duck. First of all it’s a very funny daily online photography related comic strip that I really can recommend visiting daily or adding to you feed reader. The second reason is that on their latest fan profile Jason D. Moore was featured (link) and he picked me as his favorite photographer. That of course made me very happy, thanks again Jason! It generated some traffic so I also want to welcome all you new visitors. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my photography!

Early morning outside Sacre Coeur with a nice view over Paris. While I was standing there thinking of taking a picture a girl stopped and did some stretching while probably also enjoying the view and the picture suddenly got at least a bit more interesting.

The Eiffel Tower actually looked like this (be carefull with your neck watching the video 
) but with a long exposure it looks like it is completely lit.

I photographed a event called Transit back in July. You might remember some posts about that. Earlier this week it was finally time for the photo exhibition with images from that event. I got three images in the exhibition, the three you see above. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your own images in big prints on the wall! It was really fun. You can see all my images from Transit here.

Tourist photographing the Eiffel Tower. I think it’s funny how you in Paris see people everywhere photographing the Eiffel Tower, at the most strangest places. Why not just get on the Metro and go somewhere with a nice view of it? But I guess I shouldn’t laugh too much though because they probably think I’m even more crazy bringing 8 kilos (17.5 pounds) of camera gear with me just to photograph it
It’s not easy to spot the tower in this picture but you can kind of see it right next to the girl in the middle of the crowd with a ponytail.

Are you a Mac user? If so, do you know that you have a friend called Alex inside your computer? That whenever you want are there for you and can read your text before you publish it, or your email before you send it. When you write something it’s always good to have someone else read it out loud to you so you can hear how it sounds. It’s easier to find spelling and grammar errors that way, especially grammar errors.
I got this tip from a post on The Digital Trekker blog, so head over there and see how it’s done. One thing that I think should be added though is how to start the speech in the menu instead of using the shortcut key because the shortcut key did not work for me and I can’t find anywhere to configure the shortcut either. In the main menu of the software you are running, the menu right next to the Apple in the top left corner (the menu has the same name as the software you are running) you have a services menu and in that menu you have speech. So if the shortcut doesn’t work for you either you can at least start it that way.
Another thing worth mentioning is that you can replace Alex with someone else if you want. Alex will definitely not be happy but if you are not getting along you have the option to replace him. Start System Preferences and choose speech and then go into the text to speech tab.
Yes, I did have Alex read me this before I published it

When I was in London and Paris I left my laptop at home and just used a HyperDrive Space with a 250 GB hard drive. It worked great. Just plug in the memory card and press backup and it copies the files to the hard drive. For extra security (I’m a bit paranoid when it comes to that) I also had a normal external 2.5″ hard drive, a Wester Digital Passport and used the computer in the hotel lobby to do a extra backup of the HyperDrive (a internet cafe would work just as good but luckily they had a few computers in the lobby at the hotel). A better solution would be to have two HyperDrives and just backup the memory card twice but I could only find one store in Sweden that sell these and they only had one in stock.
Now I just read here that there is a new HyperDrive coming out that looks really good. Faster, bigger color screen and some more functionality. If you are only bringing a laptop to empty your memory cards then this is definitely a must buy and it will save you a lot of weight.
I’m going to India for four weeks soon. Maybe two of these with 500 GB hard drive each (one for backup) is enough?
