1Borneo N900 HDR Photography
‘Tis was a rainy gloomy Saturday afternoon – my favourite kind of weather 
I was experimenting with some High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography in 1Borneo. Here are some of the photos – the first three images of each set are the raw images used to create the fourth image (HDR):

To read more about HDR imaging, have a look at my post on HDR Imaging on the Nokia N900.
HDR imaging on the Nokia N900
Ever snapped a photo with a bright background and a dim foreground and either had the foreground too dark or the background blown-out?
Time for High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging Its a feature that is far more at home on DSLRs, rather than lowly point-and-shoot cameras, let alone the Nokia N900. Of course, we can’t match the quality (or speed) of those DSLRs with their superior CCDs. On the other hand, it’s just downright amazing that you can actually snap respectable HDR photos with the N900 and automate the process to a high degree – right down to actually processing the HDR right from your own phone – as long as you have CPU cycles to spare..

New Look: Invalidfile.Press
Just a quick-post to introduce the Invalidfile.Press theme! It is based on Portfolio Press, a dark and minimalist WordPress theme I found linked via Smashing Magazine’s list of 100 Amazing Free WordPress Themes for 2009. It’s an old but great list whether you’re looking for design inspiration and/or wanting to download some themes to try out.
The original design has been tweaked a bit – sprinkled with some CSS3 goodies (border-radius! box-shadow!), a more prominent search box, menus, tag-line rotation and so on..
The Frustrated Computer Guy logo is inspired by the stick figures of xkcd. He was drawn in Inkscape, and touched-up with the GIMP. Hopefully, his presence will help counter-balance all those straight lines 
Note: The new theme is not compatible with Internet Explorer 6. The website content is readable but the logos look absolutely dreadful. You have been warned!
ADDENDUM: Visitors using Internet Explorer 6 will now be served with the cutdown edition of Invalidfile.Press – basically the same theme without the nifty logos. And just to rub it in, it will also insult the user’s discerning taste in browsers Apologies to all you corporate users who are forced to use IE6
