Greetings all and I hope you all had a fantastic weekend
The above picture was taken of my wife and I before our ceremony in Ireland earlier this month…. Just enjoying a little Heineken before the formals
To to give you all a little lift on this strange weathered Monday - You have just got to check out this article in the “Online Photographer” - it’s just amazing what happens in reality^^ Click here I just love the expression “An oh Sh@*$ moment”
Also continuing on the theme of photo re-touching - here’s an article I found in the Telegraph over the weekend - it seems the world of Photoshop and politics are coming together. Click here to view the article .
Just to update all my Korean students - Fandcorp English Solutions are in the process of launching a Daum and Naver cafe for English language learning. FES will be using these cafes to help you all improve your English in all areas from conversation English to TOEIC and TOEFL. Check them out here for Naver and here for Daum - Both cafes will be launched officially next week - so get joining the cafes now
Well, I think that’s it for today. Have a great week everyone and talk to you all again soon
Firstly, I want to share with you a new blog I found - it’s called “Seth Godin’s Blog” and the guy writes about almost anything and everything to do with business, design and photography. It definitely worth checking out - click here to view it.
The above picture is of Rangkyoung and her mother, sitting on the grass at Bunratty Castle in Co Clare, Ireland. I love the way the black and white gives it an almost timeless feel.
A load of things have been happening over at Canon and Nikon. Both companies have launched new cameras this week. You can check them out by clicking here for Canon and here for Nikon - It’s getting very exciting in the world of photography these days
Again I want to thank Scott Kelby for putting me on to this little gem from the Daily Telegraphy newspaper (my favourite paper by the way) concerning re-touching digital photos. - you can read the article here
Finally, please check out Fandcorp English Solutions’ newly designed website. It looks fantastic and is really fresh and modern. Check it out here
Well, I am back at work and I am still suffering from jetlag. But it is good to be back and I am sure by the end of the week I shall be fine.
The above picture is of my younger brother and his son, Jack. To capture this shot I used the natural sunlight coming in from the window in front of by brother. I had to do a little adjustment in Photoshop to bring some light onto Jack’s face, but all in all I had to do very little to this shot.
Don’t forget to check out BCM’s updated First Class Business website It is completely redesigned and re-written and should give all you Korean students of English a good overview of this fantastic business English course.
Well, that’s it for now. I hope your week is going well.
While I was away on holiday, Apple launched several new products. iWork 08 and iLife 08 - I already mentioned below, but even more exciting was the news of the new iMac
As ever Steve Jobs launched this amazing product and you can view his dynamic presentation below
Also, for all you Mac users out there - Apple have a trial version of the iWorks 08 available for download. _ I have been using iWorks for over a year now and I have to say it is fantastic. I have not tried iWork 08 yet, but over the next few days I shall be trying it out. - Download the free trial version here
Also, just to let all you Photoshop fans know, Photoshop World 2007 will be opening very soon in Las Vegas. The last one in Boston sold out pretty quickly, so if you are in the Las Vegas area next month, you’d better get to the Photoshop World website now!
Finally, I shall be uploading my holiday images once I have had time to process them. But in the meantime enjoy the latest Mac news
After an incredibly long journey back from Ireland, I am finally back in Korea and now I am suffering from the inevitable ‘jetlag’. But it is great to be back and it is great to be eating Korean food again ^^
The above picture was taken of my niece (left) and nephew (right) wearing their 한복 (Hanbok) - traditional Korean dress - they look so cute
I will be back later to update you on the latest news - but for now I am tired and need sleep !!! ;-o
Well, I am leaving London today and returning to Ireland for a couple of days before returning home to Korea. As usual, I am missing Korea and I need my 김치 찌개 … BADLY!!!
But before I leave I wanted to share the Houses Of Parliament at night with you. I took this last night using a tripod and a slow shutter speed. I hope you like it
Big Ben might have stopped, but my travels have not. I am now in London, starting the second part of my holiday ^^
Just to give you guys some updates. Apple have launched iLife 08 and iWorks 08 - you can check out the new features right here I have not had time to check out all the new features yet, but you can be rest assured they will be fantastic!
Also, if you are interested in magazine covers and how they have been faked … click here This is a feature done by ABC News (thanks to Scott Kelby for this link^^)
Well, that’s it for now - I hope everyone is well. I shall get back to my beautiful beach dwelling
You have just got to check out these 2 videos - It’s a song called “Chocolate Rain” and perhaps it is the most annoying song you can Imagine. The singer is not bad, the music is ok, but the song is SO repetitive that it get’s into your head and you cannot help but just sing it and sing it and sing it !!!!
I think the funniest part is when the singer moves away from the microphone to take a breathe
This next video is really special. Same song, but different singer … Check it out
