Good to hear from you!
About the camera...Hi Yohan,<br /><br />Good to hear from you!<br />About the camera, if you're interested in keeping a low profile and also travel light, you can check the Olympus PEN series: really small DSLR cameras - with almost all advantages of their bigger versions (plus video recording capabilities).<br />The downside is the price, but it doesn't apply to all models.<br />Since you get to travel, maybe you can find a bargain in one of the countries you're going to visit. As for a good lens, remember to search for those that have a small F number in order to get that sharp subject and blurred background (for the above photos I used a 50mm lens with F - 1.8).<br />The bridge cameras have the look and weight of a DSLR, but picture quality quite similar to Point and Shoot. I had such a camera and I wouldn't recommend it.<br />Anyway, whatever you're choice is, feel free to send me questions. I'll gladly offer my opinion.<br /><br />If you ever go back to Barcelona, drop us a line and we'll might join you for a photo session :)<br /><br />Sure, you can use any picture you want.<br />And thanks for the link about vaccines, now we just need to schedule and appointment with the doctor and get stung :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521985720220281125.post-40675612235539105382010-03-27T12:14:48.348+02:002010-03-27T12:14:48.348+02:00Hi there, and many thanks for the photos. You know...Hi there, and many thanks for the photos. You know Razvan, I thought again and again about our discussion on the crucial role of the material for the quality of photos, and it seems you convinced me: I plan now to buy a real camera (maybe a bridge). Indeed I am just back from Barcelona (for job meetings again) and not so happy with the photos taken with my smartphone. I think I will have to go back there to take better photos ;) Tonight I will attend a CS event near my home, the local couchsurfers are eager to hearing about my experience in Bucharest. I realize that I do not even have a photo of Andra & you, I'll catch some on your blog/CS rpofile to show them who you are!<br />By the way, about the vaccines for your upcoming travel, you can find reliable information here (in French):<br />http://www.pasteur-lille.fr/fr/sante/cmv.html <br />Cheers!Yohannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521985720220281125.post-53649598432340046502010-03-09T16:46:03.748+02:002010-03-09T16:46:03.748+02:00excellent!

I have been lazy updating the blog in english but we've had several board&cardgames sessions/meetings :) In fact, this saturday there will be another card&board games meeting in our home (a Cs event) ;)<br />About the video don't worry, I understood everything ;) Pretty soon I will try to do it for my blog(s).Reinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744857967815113131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521985720220281125.post-14370488602856421862010-03-09T16:17:55.010+02:002010-03-09T16:17:55.010+02:00Wow, we didn't know you turned into a fanatic ...Wow, we didn't know you turned into a fanatic :).<br />Here are the games we played so far (and enjoyed):<br />- Dominion: very good, different playing styles available, won't get bored with it anytime soon.<br />- Lord of the Rings: Confrontation Deluxe: a bit like chess combined with poker :), takes a couple of sessions to learn all the rules, but it is really fun afterwords; takes around 30 minutes to complete.<br />- Pandemic: cooperative game, quite hard to beat the game (you need luck and strategy), everyone has to work together and be actively involved.<br />- Shadows over Camelot: also cooperative, seems easier than Pandemic, awesome graphics and details (more expensive as well because of this), complex and with more strategies available comparing to Pandemic.<br /><br />Here you can find details about all board-games: http://www.boardgamegeek.com<br />On youtube there are many reviews for known titles.<br /><br />About the video, sorry for the speed. I was actually moving slowly, because I knew that hypercam software has this bug with showing recordings at a higher speed than the real one used (or maybe it is not a bug and it's related to the number of frames the software recorded per second..). If you need, I can always make another one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521985720220281125.post-78067133939035919322010-03-09T15:53:29.795+02:002010-03-09T15:53:29.795+02:00Niiiice!

But, as a fellow games fanatic, could you please explain what games are you playing /played? uhm, and maybe also label them so it would be easier for me to find them after :D (don't feel obliged!!!!) <br /><br />Oh, and soon I will try to fix the photos as you do! Thank you for the video (you are tooooo fast clicker :D - I had to watch the video 3x to understand where you clicked exactly :D ) LOLReinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744857967815113131noreply@blogger.com
