MTPaginate 1.24

A Very Useful Plugin is MTPaginate 1.24 by Stepan Riha.

One of the things that was bothering me was the ever increasing length of my Category and Monthly Archive pages. Having it load all in one page is annoying and inefficient to say the least. By following the very detailed instructions above, I was able to implement it with very little problems.

Well, last night we had some of the Iron Leaf lettuce growing in my Small vegatable Garden. I have to say, cleaning the amount of lettuce above took about 10 minutes and was well worth it. My wife cooked some and we had some as a plain salad.

Very Tasty.

Here is a shot of our Oak Leaf Lettuce

Oddly enough, despite the work, planting a vegetable garden is pretty relaxing…

Above I have a row of Carrots followed by a row of Lettuce with a Tomato plant behind it. When the weather permits, I’ll put a different variety of lettuce and Squash (Zuchini?) in the back.

One of the nice things about Small Camera’s is that you can take a picture when ever you’d like!

This bike belongs to a friend.

One problem I have with my Nikon 5700: it’s a little Bulky. To address this, me and my wife got a Canon S410. It takes very good 4 mega pixel images and fits in my Jacket pocket. This makes spur of the moment picture taking easier.

Playing with Photoshop

Above is an Image I shot Sunday. While reading a book Photoshop CS for Digital Photographers by Colin Smith, I came across the correcting perspective in cropping an Image. Above is the before and after results. I’m sure experienced Photoshop user will say “Big Deal”, but coming from a Darkroom perspective like I have, this is **Really** Cool.

Next I have to clean up the Contrast and selectively brighten the lower half of the image.

Update: I’ve brightened the image a little and played with the contrast too. It looks a little off, but it is a Work in progress.
