Here are some of my favourite photos from some recent gigs. I will also be taking photos of Electric Soup soon because Electric Soup are playing with the James Taylor Quartet at the end of May!

I should have spent more time on the last image, it looked even better to the naked eye, but I still like how it turned out.

“Tube Face”: the face which is most often made while on the tube or any other public transport in London. Eyes down reading, headphones on, work attire, unnatural light and the morning (or evening) sunlight coming through the window.

Handle with ...love.
One of my favourite photos of my 365 day project so far. I need to use props and music as inspiration more often.
“Unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture
Like gravity like love,
You get up after you fall
Like gravity like love
I’m not afraid any more” – ‘Gravity’ by Poets of the Fall

I was formatting a USB external hard drive with NTFS (same thing would apply to FAT I believe). I unchecked quick format which meant it took an age on the large 750GB hard drive, so I thought I would cancel it. The drive was then not recognised my Windows (I am using Windows 7). So I thought I would use Linux to format the drive, put a new partition on it with fdisk or parted but Linux didn’t recognise it either!
I was getting worried now, I tried a different USB cable but to no avail. Finally I simply unplugged the power from the drive and put it back in again and Windows 7 recognised the drive and helpfully asked if I wanted to format it. Phew.
Let that be a lesson to anyone who reads this (or finds it using Google), don’t slow format a large drive with NTFS unless you can wait for a long time.

Avidemux
After going from using Linux exclusively I have started to use Windows again and I wanted some software which was free and would do a few basic video editing and converting actions, such as joining files together than converting them to mpeg-4 avis. I first off tried “Any Video Converter”, which was ok, but fairly simple and I disliked it not being open source and having versions which cost money (what was I missing out on?).
After trying AVC I then remembered Avidemux a really great, free open source video conversion tool, you can get versions for windows and other OSs here on Avidemux download page.
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks.
It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.
Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license.

My first clone photo. Didn’t turn out too bad, could be better thought. Will have to try some more during the course of the year.
