We woke up at 2:00am on October 15th for a very early morning flight to Bonaire. Eric and Sebastien met us at the airport and we all had a great time on our way down through Miami and San Juan. We had pizza and took plenty of pictures in Miami. Sebastien is an especially fun subject since he doesn't like to be photographed. :-) We all slept a little bit on the flights and had a take-out dinner (by the seaside) of sausages from the Argentinian Grill. Sunday morning we had an early breakfast at the City Cafe and then picked up some groceries from the Cultimara.... 207@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=207 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/photo-colorspace-change.html Website Sun, 07 Aug 2005 15:20:45 -0500 Several photos on MVPix.com were saved using the ProPhoto RGB or Adobe RGB colorspaces. These alternative colorspaces are able to represent many more colors (especially ProPhoto RGB) than the standard sRGB colorspace. This makes them the preferred choice for photographers when working with digital photos. Unfortunately, most browsers cannot display colorspaces other than sRGB. Colors outside of sRGB's range are simply dropped by web browsers. For this reason, several photos on our site may have appeared muted, desaturated and/or darker. Many older photos will now show-up as new since they were converted to the sRGB colorspace. Actual new photos, from our last trip to Bonaire in May 2005, should be posted shortly. We have several outstanding shots that we plan... 186@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=186 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/off-to-bonaire-again.html Travel : Bonaire Sun, 10 Apr 2005 17:46:50 -0500 183@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=183 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/industry-news-feeds-update.html Website Wed, 02 Mar 2005 14:13:11 -0500 The Industry News Feeds page layout has been updated. The news feeds are now classified under three possible headings; Photography, Underwater Photography, and Scuba Diving. Please let us know if you would like us to add news feeds from other sources.... 179@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=179 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/digital-ttl-article-published-in-uwp-issue-21.html Website Wed, 06 Oct 2004 12:53:12 -0500 My article on Digital Cameras with TTL Support Underwater was picked up by the Underwater Photography magazine in issue #21.... 174@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=174 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/bonaire-after-ivan.html Travel : Bonaire Wed, 15 Sep 2004 18:57:39 -0500 On Wednesday, September 8th 2004, hurricane Ivan passed 60 miles north of Bonaire N.A., sending large swells on Bonaire's north/east shores. Linda Baker from the Carib Inn sent out a few e-mail to keep Bonaire regulars up-to-date. The Carib Inn lost most of the boards from their pier, the Divi lost their main pier once again, and Lions Dive had to sweep sand from their offices. Linda also reports that Vista Blue is fine, Something Special is more of a garbage site now than before (but the 4 frogfish are still there), Witches Hut has a lot of broken coral in the shallows and coral damage by sandcover, some coral heads were pushed near the entry ramp at the... 169@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=169 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/industry-news-page.html Website Mon, 13 Sep 2004 19:03:38 -0500 Many visitors to MVPix.com are also avid photographers. With that in mind, I've added an Industry News Feeds page that includes news from several different photography sites. This allows photographers with interests in underwater or digital photography to get all their news in one place. If we've missed any quality photography sites, please let us know. The only requirement is that the site must provide their news content as an RSS / XML feed. Those that don't are listed in the side-bar INDUSTRY LINKS section.... 168@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=168 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/rss-xml-feeds-debut.html Website Fri, 03 Sep 2004 13:30:11 -0500 I've just finished coding all the templates necessary to offer our content in XML (aka RSS feed). You'll find a new RSS button on the bottom of the main index page in the News, Articles, Help and Photographers sections. An RSS button has also been added to each photographer's blog page for photographer specific content. RSS / XML feeds are a method of publishing content to be included on other web sites, or viewed winthin specialized RSS readers. You may click an RSS button, but web browsers are not able to display this type of content - it does not come with a pre-defined layout like HTML. There are several reader applicationss available to aggregate RSS feeds, including plug-ins... 164@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=164 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/website/new-photographers-section.html Website Wed, 21 Jul 2004 18:59:09 -0500 In the future, we expect to handle photos from a multitude of photographers. I've been working on new features and processes to support this, including submission, approval, and payment processes. The newest feature is a Photographers Blog section. The main Photographers page includes a photographer selected photo, personal information, equipment used, and recent blog entries. Photographers may add entries to their blogs as they wish, and even publish selected entries to the MVPix News and Article sections. Subjects may include equipment reviews, personal accounts, upcoming events, etc. You can subscribe to notifications of new entries in the Photographers section by editing your preferences on the profile page.... 162@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=162 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/iridescent-caribbean-reef-squid.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 20:28:56 -0500 On the afternoon of May 13th 2004, Melanie, Eric and I dove the Salt Pier in Bonaire. We opted for a simple dive profile - out from the shore to the central pier, then north to the neighboring pier, then back along the same route. The visibility was a little worse than usual, so extra care had to be taken with substrobe placement. The dive was fairly un-eventful, until we headed back to shore from the central pier... 157@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=157 CrossBlog Posting
