To remove people or moving cars from a picture in a single exposure, all you need is to increase the exposure time (shutter speed). That's not always easy with existing equipment. You may need to extend the shutter speed up to several minutes. But it could be achieved by using Neutral Density (ND) filters. The thing works because the amount of light reflected from people is so much smaller than from the environment (or building). So longer the exposure, the harder to notice the moving objects.

Somewhere in the net I've seen a nifty way to mark the visited links. Every link, which I visited, was marked with a check mark on the right beside the link. At first I just wondered how it was done. Then when I received a new Macworld there was the details how to do it.

So here is the way (how it was explained in Macworld):
In CSS include the following lines:

/* sets how the links should be displayed */
a {
   text-decoration: none;
   color: #333;
   padding-right: 13px;
}
/* actually shows the image beside the link */
a:visited {
   background: url(checkmark.gif) right center no-repeat;
}


I modified it somewhat and applied this only to specific links (by class):

a.tipItem:visited {
   background: url(http://www.romanzolin.com/images/link_check.png) right center no-repeat;
   padding-right: 23px;
}


And marked the links, which I want to behave like this with class "tipItem":

<a class="tipItem" href="http://www.romanzolin.com/">


And the result you can see on my Techniques page

I scouted over the Internet and tried to find a few photoblogs that could be of interest to me and you.
So far here is the list (I will add more with time):

• I Like Cameras
• Travel Photography Blog
• The Digital Photography Weblog
• Wildlife Photography Blog
• Dave Beckerman Photography
• Billy Sheahan Photography Blog
