I decided to do something about that recently. I would describe myself as a novice to Photoshop - only popping in occasionally to change a photo to black and white or to create a rough composite. One final technical issue I had is that the project files they provide already had the changes made, which made them completely useless for following along with. Obviously a lot of people have had success with this teaching, but unfortunately it wasn’t right for me. Rather than, for example, 25 minutes looking at every possible variation on the brush tool before I’ve ever really used that tool in a project. Then gradually you work on bigger and more complicated projects learning tools and procedures as you go. I would have preferred a project-based learning system where you work on a simple project which introduces the most basic tools and features. It would be like teaching you to cook by spending 30 minutes on all the different spatulas, then 30 minutes on the whisks, and so on. Then you’re on to another tool, then another. Instead it begins with a deep dive into each individual tool showing the dozen different things each tool can do, but not with any goal in mind, just explaining the tool. I was hoping for a step-by-step guide where we would learn by doing, starting from a blank slate. Simply wasn’t for me and didn’t work for my learning style. If you haven’t tried this course you really should. I found it really pulled together the things I had learned in the first 7 lessons and also the ideas I had learned using the free tutorials and in fact I can now appreciate them even more. And then finishes with a photo that he walks you through the full edit using all the main tools and concepts covered from layers, to masks, brushes to cropping, colour changes to retouching. The shortcuts, the pros and cons, the gotcha’s. Why? Because Aaron doesn’t put you to sleep, he shows on photos what they can do, should do and you might not really want them to do. Further to walk through every single one of them, sometimes in great detail, others less so because they are either not really applicable to photo editing or are covered in gory detail in a whole other offering is pretty amazing. Consider that when you open PS you are confronted with 3 main screen areas, 28 tools and 10 top level (and I can’t be bothered to count the submenus) menus it is pretty overwhelming. Just finished the last lesson in Photoshop 101. What is the lineup for the Daytona 500 Here is the lineup, which other. Last years Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell qualified 22nd, while 1995 Indy 500 winner Jacques Villeneuves 27th place finish was highest among the non-chartered entries and. Brad and I left together hooked up on bumpers and we were able to get some good speed and when the Toyotas and Chevys joined the track, we had so much momentum we were able to keep the lead. Who won the Daytona 500 last year Austin Cindric won the 2022 Daytona 500 for his first NASCAR Cup Series win. But here’s the most interesting similarity between the two NASCAR Xfinity Series. If you speed, you make a mistake, you slide the tires, your day is done. Cindric won at Daytona International Speedway in 2021 and Gibbs won at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2022. “We knew it was and it always comes down to that green-flag stop. McDowell agreed that it all came down to the pit stop and the strategy that comes from working as a team. They all blew by us because they were single file, so it just took away the power that I got and that’s getting through traffic.” We came out in front of everybody and didn’t have any help to get up to speed. He had already won in 1968, 1977, and 1983, and had been the Cup. “We didn’t execute too good on pit road,” Hamlin said. Everyone knows that we came up just inches short last season of winning the Daytona 500, and thanks to the U.S. Cale Yarborough was one of NASCAR’s biggest stars when he won his third Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Mark Martin didn’t complain much when he lost the 2007 Daytona 500 on the last overtime lap between Turn 4 and the. He never could regain the momentum he needed to win. For the next 10 years, the white-flag leader won, often by huge margins. The Toyotas came out of the stop not in unison and had trouble forming a pack that could push Hamlin back to the front. The Fords, which included McDowell, all came in on Lap 170, the Chevys on 171 and Toyotas, which included Hamlin, on Lap 173. The drama of the last laps was set up by the final pit stop. In fact, Hamlin won the first two stages of the race. He was going for an unprecedented third straight Daytona 500 victory. It appeared it was Hamlin’s race to lose, as he led 98 of the 200 laps.

Dans le poème qui donne son nom au recueil, Heaney pose la question : « Où vit l’esprit ? » Cet article interroge la position de deux des plus grands poètes irlandais contemporains sur les questions de spiritualité et d’immanence dans un monde post-catholique, post-chrétien et post-métaphysique. Mahon commença par se montrer critique de la vision essentialiste de Heaney de l’identité irlandaise, devenue célèbre entre autres grâce au fameux « sens du lieu », tandis que Heaney semble avoir évolué au cours de sa carrière dans sa vision métaphysique pour inclure la fameuse anomie du lieu, propre à la position existentialiste des débuts de Mahon, et ceci nulle part de manière plus frappante que dans Seeing Things, dédié à Mahon. Le poème pouvait se lire comme la suite d’un échange poétique entre les deux hommes sur la poésie et la métaphysique, échange dont on retrouve la trace tout au long de leurs carrières parallèles. In other terms, does the epithet “secular mysticism” associated with Mahon embrace both their outlooks and is the anti-metaphysical metaphysics implied in it a credible and a sufficient answer?Įn avril 2009 Derek Mahon publia un poème intitulé « A Country Kitchen » dans le supplément du quotidien The Irish Times célébrant le soixante-dixième anniversaire de Seamus Heaney. The title poem of that collection raises the question : “Where does the spirit live?” The central point of this paper is, where do the greatest contemporary Irish poets stand on the questions of spirituality and immanence in a post-Catholic, post-Christian and post-metaphysical world. Mahon initially showed himself a critic of the essentialist version of Irishness which Heaney promoted through his celebrated coinage “sense of place”, while Heaney appears to have adjusted his metaphysics to embrace the characteristically “placeless” anomie of Mahon’s early existentialist stance in later collections, but most notably in Seeing Things (1991) which was dedicated to Mahon. That poem revealed signs of a literary colloquy on poetry and metaphysics which can be traced back over the full extent of their closely concurrent careers. In April 2009 Derek Mahon contributed a poem called “A Country Kitchen” to “Seamus Heaney at 70”, a supplement of the Irish Times. This fits with the use of ivory rather than wood for the handle, and the fine carving with which it is decorated. In this example, great care has been taken to ensure that the flakes were removed evenly, suggesting that this was for artistic effect more than any functional consideration. The slasher edge is suitable to even take on bears. Can be used in cub scout or boy scout primitive skills building projects, or for anyone interested in stone knives. The kit includes a hand knapped stone blade, a hardwood handle, hide glue, enough gut material to easily haft the blade to the handle, and detailed instructions. It’s a common heritage of all peoples of the world, regardless of where your ancestors came from. Flint knives are a fine camping knife option it offers admirable strength and agility, so along with cutting and shaping firewood, and chopping up food and meat, this knife can also be used as a weapon like the old times. You can make a very nice flint knife with this stone knife kit. The small slivers of flint removed by pressure flaking on the front give rise to the term 'ripple-flaked' used to describe this type of blade. Flint Knapped Knife-Gray Rainbow Obsidian Blade w/Picaso Marble Handle-Handmade. Flintknapping is one of the world’s oldest skills and arts. The flint blade is flaked on only one side. For the sources of these notes, see the Timetrail record produced by the Historic Environment. It seems probable that, like the Hunters' Palette, this knife was purely ceremonial. 1 A flint knife was found at this grid reference. This arrangement is a precursor to artistic convention in the time of the pharaohs, when all figures in a scene were set on a horizontal baseline. Unlike those on the palette, the animals on this knife handle are arranged in orderly rows. All these could probably be seen in Egypt at the time, and some are shown on a slate palette known as the Hunters' Palette (also from the late Predynastic period). The animals include elephants, lions, Barbary sheep and cattle. This example, formerly in the collection of Lieutenant-General Pitt-Rivers (1827-1900), is decorated with rows of wild animals carved in raised relief. The flint knives of the late Predynastic period were sometimes mounted in ivory handles. The idea that people might decide to work less is hard for some people to imagine. In Weber’s view, a “traditionalist” view of work is one where people work as much as they need to maintain their current lifestyle, and once that aim is achieved, they stop working. Where Do Work Beliefs Come From? Max Weber found that the “spirit of capitalism” struggled to take hold in societies that embraced a “traditionalist” mindset towards work. It is only when we cling to the logic of the default path that we fail to see the possibilities for making that happen. People, including myself, have a deep desire to work on things that matter to them and bring forth what is inside them. Then put your head down and keep going, indefinitely. Study hard, get good grades, get a good job. This was the end result of an obsessive focus on getting ahead in my twenties. For me, it’s also a gentle reminder to laugh when things feel out of control and trusting that an uncertain future is not a problem to be solved. It’s a call to adventure in a world that tells us to conform. It is an embrace of uncertainty and discomfort. The pathless path is an alternative to the default path.

Getting a more intimate look at his story and journey in understanding how he has arrived at the conclusions he has was fascinating. His ideas about work are nuanced, thought-through and unique. I’ve followed Paul’s work for almost 2 years now. Yet many look at that possibility and say, “no thanks,” because it means discomfort, uncertainty, and a higher risk of failure.

Getting there is half the fun: take a bus from Ganghwa-eup to Oepo-ri (30 min, every 30 min), cross by ferry to Seokmodo (W2000 10 min, every 30 min), and then take a shuttle bus (W1000) to the temple. High up on Seokmodo Island, this temple is located in a scenic grotto with rock carvings and is famous as a place for women to pray for sons. There is another cluster of dolmen at Gocheon-ri (고천리). A prehistoric burial site listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, the largest stone here is 2.6×7.1×5.5 meters in size and weighs somewhere between 150 and 225 tons. There is also a tourist information center at the ferry terminal in Oepo-ri. No English is spoken but they have English-language tourist maps. There is a tourist information located inside the bus terminal. Local buses also connect to Gimpo (the city, not the airport). There are frequent direct buses (W4200 90 min) from Seoul's Sinchon Bus Terminal to the main town of Ganghwa-eup, as well as Bupyeong Station, Hapjeong Station, Songjeong Station, and Incheon Bus Terminal in Incheon. North Korea is directly across the channel on the north coast of the island. Ganghwa is separated from the Korean mainland by a narrow channel, spanned by two bridges passable by cars. The county of Ganghwa includes several other islands, most notably Seokmodo, the site of Bomunsa Temple. Ganghwa Island (강화도, 江華島 Ganghwado), previously romanized as Kanghwa Island, is a rural county (군, gun) of Incheon, South Korea. For a quick slideshow, I usually use Geeqie with the exported JPG instead, or Google Photos on any computer with internet connection. The slideshow is quite basic, but it renders the images on the fly, so depending on how complicated the history stack/operations that you applied to the images, and how fast your computer is, there might be delay between photos.

Next to the lightable|darkroom modes at top-right corner are print|slideshow|tethering. "20190908 - ice skating"), I guess it makes more sense for me to have a separate tool with face recognition with its own SQL database and advanced scripting with Python.Īs for the output modules, I do see a few options in darktable's export module: LATeX book template, file on disk, Facebook webalbum, google photos, piwigo, send as email, web gallery. Since I don't use darktable's DAM (manage in folders with naming convention, e.g. If for some reason you must use ImageMagick to extract XMP metadata. I'm exploring a Python library to see if I can do the feature like Google Photos where it automatically lists all the faces it can find and you can tag people for searching, but locally, thus, doesn't have privacy issue. The MacOS package installs the ExifTool command-line application and libraries in. The darktable devs intentionally not implement face recognition although there have been a few requests on it, I think they were mostly concerning about privacy. It lacks face detection and mapping (there seems to be a 3rd-party plugin for the second one, however), as well as the output modules (slideshow, web and print). In particular, the add-to-collection features happen after this plugin. Once you are sure of the command, you can add -overwrite_original to suppress the generation of backup files and -r to recurse into subdirectories.Looking at Darktable, it seems to be far from close to LR. To take full advantage of the advance formatting, some basic perl and regex knowledge is helpful. In the replace half of the substitution $2-$1, the two captures are reversed with the hyphen between them. The two captures are assigned to the variables $1 and $2, respectively. ExifTool supports many different types of metadata including EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as the maker notes of many digital cameras by Canon, Casio, FujiFilm, HP. It matches and captures the first four digits (\d), matches the space (but doesn't capture it), then matches and captures the rest of the tag (.*). ExifTool is a platform-independent Perl library plus a command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information in image, audio and video files. In this example, the tag is treated as a perl string and a regex substitution is used. To do the modification to the tag, it takes the Advance Formatting option, which is actually some in-line perl code. This will allow tags in the XMP file to be copied to the correct place in the EXIF group. The best thing to do would be to grab the xmp2exif.args file and place that in the same directory as exiftool. Since then, exiftool has become the go-to tool for working with metadata at the command line due to the vast array of file formats and types of metadata it supports. The command needs to be altered a bit due to some irregularities in the XMP sample you give. Exiftool is a command-line utility, technically a Perl library written by Phil Harvey first released in 2003. For example, suppose I have a file called winter.mp4, I want to add the comment 'winter' to the file's -Comment metadata tag. I want to add each file's respective filename as a metadata comment (using the -Comment tag). A common mistake is to use the equal sign = which is used to assign a static value to a tag. See exiftool's Metadata Sidecar Files example 15. I'm using ExifTool on Linux and am working with some MP4 video files. The option to copy a tag is the less than (or greater than) symbol. However, files may be specified by name, or the -ext option may be used to force processing of files with any extension. Note: If FILE is a directory name then only supported file types in the directory are processed (in write mode only writable types are processed). You basically want to copy a tag into the same tag, with some modifications. Once in write mode, exiftool will ignore any read-specific options.
