Share and sync your files with Dropbox

Mattias — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:37:22 +0000

I just wanted to take a moment and give you a little tip on software – and perhaps get a little spcae for freee :) Bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them with the service Dropbox.

Sync
I use it to keep my most important documents and information available, from work and from home… and from anywhere else… well, almost.

Passwords
Together with the little software Keepass (KeepassX for OS X/Linux) I generate random passwords ans save them in Dropbox. Keepass stores passwords in an encrypted file, with one master password. Dropbox syncs the file to all my computers. All I need to remember is ONE password, and I can get to the other ones wherever I am (as long as I have a computer or other device).

Client for Windows, OS X, Linux
I use Dropbox client on all platforms I work on, so I can reach my files without problems on both Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7.

Sharing
You can share folder and documents with other users, or can make a file public and give someone a URL to download a file. A simple way to share documents.

Space
The free space in Dropbox is 2 GB, but you can add more.

What if the service is offline?
Don’t worry, the files are still stored on your computer.

Lens for sale: Asahi Preset Takumar 135mm/3.5 M42 (model 1957)

Mattias — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:37:05 +0000

I’m selling my Asahi Preset Takumar 135mm/3.5, model from 1957 with alu-parts.
It is very pretty and nice to photograph with, but I’m almost afraid to take it in case I would damage it, because it is in very good condition – as you can tell from the images. I guess you can see it is not new, but it is not far from it. Since I need the money I’ve decided to only keep the lenses I really use to photograph with.
Lens cap (at least the front is original) and hard case is included.
Price: $85 or £55 or €65 or 600 SEK.
Add shipping from Sweden (example about $20 to US, probably cheaper to EU) to the price.

The price for the lens: $350, or £200, or €240. Add shipping-cost from Sweden.

In Russia a century ago, colorphotos were created that gives you a amazing feeling like it was done recently. My friend Richard posted this link on Facebook, and I though it so amazing that I felt compelled to post here! :)

Opportunities to photography can be close, like with these garden roses shot with my old nice preset Takumar 135mm lens. Late one day in sunset I wanted to use the light with the old lens.

Preset Asahi-lens and flowers

Mattias — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 11:24:42 +0000

Flowers is a nice way to test new lenses, in my opinion. At the moment wood anemone (anemone nemorosa) is everywhere where I live. So I have tested the preset, early lens Asahi Takumar 105mm/2.8 on wood anemone, with an extensionring. Oh, and this also illustrates the hazards with photographing flowers – I put my chin on very nasty ants (myrmicinae) who bites ;)
