Spyder3 released by Datacolor
Craig October 29th, 2007
One of the often overlooked aspects of digital imaging is the need to properly color calibrate monitors and printers to ensure that you are seeing accurate colors. Datacolor have just released the Spyder 3 calibration tools. I’ve been using the Spyder 2 Pro for a couple of years now and it has been a good performer for me, ensuring that the colors I see on my monitor look the way they are meant to. I’ll be writing a more detailed post about color calibration in the future, so anyone who wants to learn more should keep an eye on this space.

Here’s Datacolor’s press release for the Spyder 3.

It’s time for another featured photographer and today we have Joe Grey. Joe is the creator of Fotozon, a website for sharing and showing photos of Taiwan. It features a picture of the day section that includes code so that others can show it on their sites. I’ve had it in the sidebar of this site for a while now.

Taoyuanli Forest Trail
Craig October 20th, 2007
At the northern end of Baguashan (八卦山) on the edge of the city of Changhua (彰化市) is a hilly terrace called Taoyuanli. Lying behind the Changhua University of Education, Taoyuanli is dotted with hiking trails and makes an easy escape from the city. The area used to be known as kang-a-lai, which means “inside the cave” in Taiwanese. There are numerous trails and multiple entry points to the trail system. The trails aren’t long, but the way they meet and diverge means that it’s easy to hike a couple of different trails without too much backtracking.

The National Museum of Taiwanese Literature (國家臺灣文學館) was opened in 2003 in the southern city of Tainan. The museum is dedicated to researching, preserving, cataloging and exhibiting literary artifacts. The museum thematically traces the history of Taiwan’s literary development. The introduction celebrates Taiwan’s spirit of self-determination, and highlights her struggle as she treads her literary journey.
