Narita’s butterfly effect

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Our United flight from Bangkok to Narita got cancelled. We wouldn’t have known about it, had Jon not checked our voicemail. United rescheduled us on a flight from Bangkok to Seoul and from Seoul to San Fran. The worse part was that the flight from Bangkok to Seoul was leaving at 1.20am arriving to Seoul at 8.30am and our flight to SF was not until 2.00pm. So now we are in Seoul waiting for our flight to SF.
Needless to say that our original flight to Narita from Bangkok was not cancelled and actually left Bangkok with a 2 hour delay. Thanks United!!!

Canon Photo Paper Color Profiles List

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

I recently purchased Canon Pixma Pro9000 and had problems finding description of the color profiles that Canon put together  for different types of their photo paper. Canon used the most cryptic way of naming them without much of logic or conventions e.g. PR1, SP4 … Finally I was able to find the descriptions and created a cheat-sheet in PDF format. Download.

I took this picture with 17-40mm @40mm. Not bad at all in MHO. Pretty versatile lens.

I just wanted to upload this picture that I took with the lens. The colors are amazing! I am very happy with it. The only complaint is that AF is not great in a low-light conditions.
