Vio put together this tutorial for some time now. But now it’s available as an embeddable presentation. Can’t resist that:

On Flickr. Some are real gems, like this one, taken by Andrew:

The treeline makes for a special addition to the composition. But I still can’t figure out if the half-moon shadow on the left is a lens artifact or a reflection on the clouds.

Via Wall-Street.ro (it seems they’ve taken it down, I’ll take a shot at translating from what I remember):

Blue-Air announced that during 22-28 January a promotional campaign will take place offering 55,000 free tickets for February 2007 on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. The price for these tickets is 0 EUR + airport taxes.

So guess what I did this morning! Yup, booked 2 tickets. It took a while to find free (0 EUR +  taxes) tickets for our destination on convenient dates but we finally settled. And the airport taxes are about 44 EUR/(person*airport) so it’s a great catch. That’s mainly why I decided to advertise this promotion.

Don’t get me started on the quality of their services, I know they pretty much suck and blow at the same time but I’m off anyway. Hurry and see if you can score some at Blue Air’s website!

BTW: this is their official announcement:

Cannot find a suitable present for Valentine’s Day?

You’ve heard of football, ay’? 22 guys in shorts chasing a ball around the field. Who’d think this can cause such high passions? Well, it does. Football supporters are very passionate about their teams. And this can quickly escalade to acts of hooliganism. And it does. That’s what Green Street Hooligans is showing, in a tone that’s sometimes brutal but yet touching.

Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) has been kicked out of Harvard and lands in England where he meets the Green Street Elite (West Ham United biggest and most aggresive supporters). He quickly get used to their acts of foolish violence. The story evolves quickly into a painful one. One that matches the reality.

PS: Romanian fans (especially those of teams from Bucharest) seem to have developed a keen interest for acting as hooligans… maybe some of them will get the chance to see this movie, it might give them something to think about
