Intrigue Graphics – Design and Print (and Cool Apple Mac Stuff)

Apple Airport login snafu

Yesterday, I had an interesting experience with an Apple Airport based wireless network. There’s a pre-existing network based on an Airport Extreme base station as well as an Airport Express, functioning as an extension to widen the reach of the network. This particular network was one I had set up a few years ago and it has been functioning just fine for the longest time. It’s had Macs connected via standard wired ethernet as well as using the wireless access.

But yesterday, a Dell laptop came to town. The goal was to get it online using the wireless, password protected, airport network. Sure, it could connect using an empty ethernet port on the network switch, but that’s the easy way out. With all this hi-tech wireless stuff, it should be able to login to the wireless network, right? All I needed was the password key for the network and then, voila! Well, that’s pretty straightforward, except for one problem.

HDR Photography

Have you heard about HDR photography? It’s a concept that’s been intriguing photographers and digital graphics artists in recent years. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

According to Wikipedia, HDR imaging was originally developed back in the 30s and 40s by Charles Wyckoff. The techniques have been refined over the years by other individuals. In a nutshell, the basic idea is to take a set of photographs with a range of exposures and combine them into one. After that is accomplished, the image can be “tone mapped”, which allows a digital artist to create an image that would ordinarily be impossible to achieve with a single photograph alone.

Even though our regular clients have been cutting projects left and right, we’ve managed to fill in the gaps quite well with some other work. So much so that I’ve managed to [...]
