Welcome 2014

Οι χρονιές είναι απλά νούμερα που μετράνε τα χρόνια που χρειάστηκαν για να ωριμάσουμε. Όταν φτάσουμε στο βαθμό που πρέπει, θα μηδενιστεί το κοντέρ (και πάλι) και θα αρχίσουμε από την αρχή.
Ως τότε όμως, εύχομαι ένα όμορφο 2014, γεμάτο με χαρούμενες και ευτυχισμένες καθημερινές στιγμές, τις οποίες να τις θυμόμαστε στο τέλος του χρόνου και να τις καταθέσουμε σαν μαγιά για το 2015.

Chronological numbering are just numbers that count the years it took us to mature. When we get to the level we need, the counter will be reset and we will start all over again.
Until then though, I wish you a beautiful 2014 full of joy and happy moments, that we shall remember them at the end of the year and put them as deposit  for 2015

Lymm, Warrington, Cheshire, England

The other day, the end of our road was the beautiful village Lymm, in Warrington, Cheshire.
Standing at the "centre" of the village, after I had a very traditional "poach eggs breakfast" and a cup of coffee, I shot the ducks and their surroundings.

Pond life: Frensham Pond, Farnham, Surrey

Moments in the pond, as they are captured with my small camera DMC-F3.

I tried to shoot near,
I tried to shoot far away.
I tried to capture the colour of the sky and the winter atmosphere.
I tried to shoot the ducks
with their bottoms (up),
I tried to shoot the swans flying away,
and the boats, sailing safe.

I know I am not a great photographer, either I am a poet
but I know where my gifts are hiding and I am trying to collect them all!

The Day After: Black Friday: Christmas coming

Εχτές, επόμενη μέρα της ημέρας των Ευχαριστιών, άρχισε η Χριστουγεννιάτικη περίοδος.
Δεντράκι έτοιμο, φωτάκια στο παράθυρο αναβοσβήνουν, κρασάκι στο ποτήρι, ας βάλουμε και το εθνικό μου τραγουδάκι που δηλώνει την έναρξη των Χριστουγέννων :-)

Όπως είπα λοιπόν, άρχισε η Χριστουγεννιάτικη περίοδος από εχτές, με το Black Friday, την Παρασκευή μετά την μέρα των Ευχαριστιών. Αυτή είναι μέρα μεγάλων εκπτώσεων, κυρίως βέβαια για την Αμερική, όπου στέκονται στην ουρά από τα χαράματα για να προλάβουν τις καλές τιμές. Και κάπως έτσι γίνεται η αρχή για τρελλό shopping μέχρι τα Χριστούγεννα.
Η συνήθεια αυτή άρχισε να εφαρμόζεται και στην Αγγλία. (Αρχικά ίσχυε μόνο για την επόμενη των Χριστουγέννων, νομίζω). Το Asda, το οποίο είναι παιδάκι της Walmart, κατέβασε τις τιμές, και σχηματίστηκαν ουρές από τα ξημερώματα. Όταν άνοιξε το κατάστημα, ποδοπατήθηκαν λιγάκι. Απλά κάτι χέρια και πόδια έσπασαν.
Οι προβλέψεις είναι ότι φέτος θα πάει καλύτερα η βρετανική αγορά, την προχριστουγεννιάτικη περίοδο, από ότι πέρσι. Οι Άγγλοι συνειδητοποίησαν/κατάλαβαν/αποφάσισαν ότι δεν θα πάθουν κάτι αν ξοδέψουν λίγο περισσότερο (έφυγε η φοβία των τελευταίων ετών), και έτσι θα επιδοθούν στο εθνικό τους σπορ, shopping, shopping, shopping.
Και ας μην ξεχνάμε ότι το λιανικό εμπόριο είναι ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά μέρη της βρετανικής οικονομίας, συμβάλλοντας πέντε τοις εκατό στο ΑΕΠ.

Shutter speed - Camera shutter - shutter button

From our imgeater blog

"Camera shutter" is a curtain in front of the camera sensor. This curtain is closed until someone fires the camera with pushing the button that is called "shutter" or "shutter button". The length of time that this curtain remains open and the camera sensor is exposed to light, it is called "shutter speed".

If shutter speed is fast, that is above than 1/500 second for general photography, and above 1/1000 second for bird photography, motion is freezing completely.

If shutter speed is slow, an effect is formed, called "motion blur". In that case you can show motion in photos, like cars moving, or sports, in general something is shown moving.
In the photo you can see the difference, when a photo is taken in slow shutter speed, and when it is taken in a fast shutter speed.

Upload photo get a link with www.imgeater.com

I would like to talk about our photo sharing tool, www.imgeater.com.
It all started with our relocation in UK, and with the need of easy photo sharing with friends and family. They all wanted to see photos of me, photos of my home, photos of my home decoration, photos of my clothes, photos of my city, parks, ponds, rivers, photos of everything!
Some of my friends and relatives, they do not use Facebook, sending photos with email is not so "instant", and I needed something simple, easy, without settings, and to be sure that the photo will be seen only by the person I want, privately. After all they are not all interested in my home decoration! I want something as easy as it is to pass a link!
I could not find something so easy and funny, as I wanted, something to be easy and quick for my personal use, but also for my friends and family who do not know so much about internet. 
So what is easier, than creating a new tool, the way we like it? My daughter is a student in web technologies, so she did it!

www.imgeater.com  allows you to easily upload your images, and share them with your friends.
Say that you want to share something with a friend, but you don't want all your social networking contacts to see, and you're too busy to deal with privacy settings. That's what this service is about, it makes all that easy and simple. You can just upload your images and have a link to share in seconds.Registration is free and only takes a few seconds.

When developing www.imgeater.com, we took into consideration that some people are not so internet savvy. They may be of an older age, or not having the time to get involved a lot with social media, etc. They may want something easy and quick.  
With www.imgeater.com someone can create categories of photos, and get a link for the category. Also someone can select photos to create a slide show and again get a link, in addition to single photo link.
So someone can upload photos get a link for sharing.

There is also free hosting, and with a pro account you can host nearly 20000 photos on the cloud.
The link you get from the tool, when you upload your photo, it looks like that http://upimg.io/hs.
