Stitched photos of a Christmas tree in Dubai

A friend of mine recently took a trip to Dubai where he apparently ran across this gigantic Christmas tree in the mall.  He took a series of pictures I assume to show off both its grand size and its mad fiber optic color changing skills.

The set just screamed to me that it needed to be stitched together as a panorama, both do see the whole thing at once and just to see what Hugin would do with the color changes.  I assume the entire tree changes colors at once so the different levels just show the passage of time between the frames.

Its not up to my normal standards for panoramas but considering there’s no way he had this sort of thing in mind when he took the originals I think it turned out pretty well.  Especially for only a few minutes of work.

I just wanted to remind all the flickr users that took pictures at FUDCon last week that we started a flickr group durring FUDCon 9.  It would be nice to keep that pool going so if you have some pictures you can add to the pool from any FUDCon past or pressent please do.  Those of us that couldn’t make it this time :-( would love to see what everyone was up to.

Hackergotchi

without comments

My First HackergotchiI’ve been meaning to make a hackergotchi for a while now. Problem is I’m the one always taking the pictures. There really aren’t that many pictures of me laying around. Anyway something is better than nothing so here you go.

Its the first real time I’ve tried anything in Gimp. Didn’t turn out too bad as an editing job. Nicu Buculei’s tutorial on the Fedora Project wiki was very helpful. Now if only the picture were better… ;-)

FUDCon Raleigh 2008I went ahead and made a public flickr group for the Fedora User and Developer Conference (FUDCon). I took a few pictures at FUDCon Raleigh 2008 (still going on now) and I’m uploading them now. Anyone who has pictures related to any of the FUDCons (past and present) feel free to post your pictures there.

Thanks to the time I had on the plane traveling recently, I was able to get the pictures from our visit to the ancient Mayan city of Caracol organized. I’ve posted the pictures on flickr in the Honeymoon day five – Caracol set. It is really an amazing place you should check them out!

I had meant to to write a post as soon as we got back from the honeymoon with the title “Change is good” to echo the post I made right before the wedding. Change is good so far but it hasn’t stopped me from being way to busy. At any rate I figured I should just work on getting some pictures up, and I’ll write up about what we did on our honeymoon later. Read the rest of this entry »
