My desktop operating system of choice is the fast and flexible Q4OS Linux distribution. It is based on Debian and provides a very familiar environment for those users coming from a Microsoft Windows background. It’s also a fantastic OS for those of us who may be using older PCs and laptops, but also performs well on the latest technology. The one thing it doesn’t have is Vivaldi included in its software package manager. But this quick how-to will show you how to get Vivaldi installed on your Q4OS desktop in a flash.
Tonight, my wife and I watched one of our movies from our collection, which we haven’t watched in a long time. The movie was “Angels In The Outfield” and it was a real pleasure to watch it again, after all this time. Best of all, we watched it on VHS and that always brings us a lot of pleasure on its own, for the nostalgia we have for this video format.
One thing you learn very quickly, when taking instant photos (like the Mini Instax photos), is that it is easy to damage or lose them if you don’t find a safe place to store them. You can use a photo album to keep your instant photos organised and protected. However, carrying a photo album with you when you are out shooting fun and exciting pictures isn’t very practical or convenient. But, did you know that if you are using Instax film, Fuji has already provided you with a convenient and easy way to store your instant photos?
I’ll just get this out of the way, right at the beginning: I really like this little camera. The folks, over at Lomography, really did a fantastic job with their design. When compared to any of the Fuji Instax instant cameras, the Lomo’Instant beats them all, at least in my opinion.
This is a Build It Yourself, TLR camera kit. TLR stands for twin lens reflex. This basically means that, the camera has two lenses, one that projects an image onto the film, and another through which the user views to frame the shot. The lenses are one on-top of the other, and you look down, into a hooded view finder with a mirror, which allows you to see the scene in front of you.
As I’ve been experimenting and playing with the new Lomo’instant camera, I got to thinking about what it was like to take photographs before digital technology. Digital photography has made it simpler to take nice looking photographs, as well as given us the ability to enjoy them instantly. But, it’s also set the stage for a potential disaster, if you are someone who cherishes your photos and memories.
