So I have got my newest addition to photography equipment Canon MP-E 65mm 1-5x Macro Lens and Macro Twin Lite MT-24 EX flash. Here are some of experimental shots just to test it, from 1x to 5x life size from left to right (Sony Ericsson phone sign). More to come after I get some time to explore macro world.

“The Sandpit” is time-lapse of over 35000 tilt shift photos taken at New York. This short film was created by artist Sam O’Hare. Sam used Nikon D3 with Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 lenses. Tilt shift effect was added at post production. Taking all the photos took 5 days and two evenings at August 2009. Best viewed in full-screen HD mode.
Added my green iguana gallery and few photos from 2010 in “Misc” gallery. Also find out that I need feature to list few photos in post from gallery, so will have to do more work on my gallery plug-in.

So finally I have finished programming my Picasa integration into Wordpress plug-in to generate galleries with Shadowbox automatically. This is early beta, but at least it works and now galleries page is generated automatically. I can also insert galleries to news post like this:

It allows to expand gallery in post, so you are not redirected to galleries page and still can see related text. Now just need to add ability for single images.
This Friday to Saturday we had our annual X-mas party at “Graikinė”. Weather was quite cold but sauna and jacuzzi fixes everything . We had also “Kubilas” but it was not at perfect heat, but still we managed to get into it and freeze our hair to icicles. Usual activities fallowed: pool, table-tennis, drinking and eating, chatting and failure to make smoke bomb. Party lasted till 6am and somehow we, at least some of us, to get up in 10am. As a final bonus to the party I got to drive 2006 Audi RS4, 4,2l V8, 6 speed manual with ~400 bhp. Taking into account that last manual car I was driving was Opel Vectra and Citroen ZX something like 5-6 years ago it was big jump . It was really great experience and it is great car if you don’t care much about comfort, as it has quite hard suspension and somehow it felt like less space inside than my car.
