Melbourne Cup transformation

People are mesmerised by all the beautiful ladies walking around the city heading to the races. Some won’t be so beautiful by this afternoon, watch them all come stumbling back falling over in their high heels. They go through a transformation through the day and don’t come back as ‘ladies’. Very funny to watch, it should be a sport.

Pro HDR iPhone app

So in love with this app. It produces HDR photos that aren’t too over the top and it comes with a decent price tag for it’s quality, $1.99. Most photo apps I’ve brought are around the $0.99 mark but this was worth the extra dough. I recommend this, even if you’re not into HDR but want to make your photos a little more vibrant in colour. Check it out on iTunes:

Automatically create stunning full-resolution HDR images with just a single tap! New version 3.0 supports iPhone, iPod, and iPad natively, and adds a ton of new features including a new UI, zoom and cropping, built-in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Tumblr sharing, multitasking, and a lot more.

Printing your iPhone photos

Great guide on how to print your iPhone photos.

If you have an iPhone, you’re probably already well-acquainted with its camera, and how easily you can e-mail photos, stick them on Flickr, or foist them upon your Facebook page. But your iPhone has such a respectable little camera, that you should also consider printing your iPhone pictures.

New Fujifilm FinePix 550EXR

Scored a bargain on this! Retails around $370, brought from JB for $295. 16MP, HD video, manual modes, built in GPS, EXR modes and more! Only 15x optical zoom however it’s other features outweighed 30x optical zoom on other compacts. Plus this thing shoots in RAW and supports SDXC cards.

Camera lens for the iPhone

I almost fell off my chair when I heard you could get lens addons for iPhones. I see the novelty in it however I would rather invest money into a good digital camera or DSLR. :-/

The Olloclip 3-in-1 Lens and Schneider iPro Lens System were reviewed by iPhoneography. I later discovered you could mount your DSLR lens to an iPhone, absurd! Here’s one review, click here. Each to their own I suppose.

Random post

I haven’t posted much to my blog in a while so here is a random post. Much to my delight, I have since finished my university studies and expect to graduate this December. I will hopefully be done with my management Diploma in a week also. Then freedom!!!!!!!!!! Some of which has been granted since uni finished anyway so in it’s place I got addicated to Instagram and iPhoneography. To your right, on the main page of my blog you will find my Tumblr and Instagram widgets.

Steve Jobs dead at 56

Wow, what an incredibly sad day. People can say all they want about Apple and their products but Steve was a visionary and true leader more so than an icon. Sad human loss.

KPO’s for pay rise have been revised

Received this via email today, good for a chuckle.

1 Point Office Dares Key Performance Objective (KPO)

1. Look at an email and then run out of office screaming “Oh my god they’ve found me”.
2. Leave an empty pistol holster on your desk, when asked about the location of the gun say “depends, which side are you on?”
3. Mess with contrast until your monitor looks really bright or dark, tell people it looks fine to you.
4. Give each other buzz words prior to team meetings – the winner is the one who says their word the most. Extra points if the boss says it too.
5. Spill coffee on the conference table. Produce a little paper boat and sail it down the table.

2 Point Office Dares KPO

1. At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
2. Walk into a very busy person’s office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3. Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: “Do you hear that?” “What?” “Never mind, it’s gone now”.
4. Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, “I can’t talk about it”.
5. Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
6. During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
7. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
8. Leave your zip open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, “Sorry, I really prefer it this way”.
9. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
10. While riding in a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
11. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

Because I can’t rely on one computer to do it!
