Work Hard, Play even Harder
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Harriet is back from the Rhines, the Moselles, Hergé museum and Brussels Art Nouveau Biennale~! The trip was amazing, though weather wasn't the greatest and some places Harriet wanted to see were closed. Harriet bought back 300 photos, 3 more Tintin goods, a healthy dose of cardio and lungs filled with fresh air and perhaps some scrapes from falling off her bike. Harriet has 2 subjects this block and it's a lot of reading and presentations! Harriet will try harder! Go go Harriet! Anyways, Harriet is having a bit of problem with her photos.... Harriet shoots in RAW format in highest resolutions, so she used up the entire of an 8 gb SD card and she has no disk space to edit them ;A; The external drive Harriet bought with her is unreliable! >8( There will only be two photos today! Harriet tried using Adobe Lightroom! This one is my favourite shot of the entire trip. Mainly because Harriet is a sucker for coin souvenirs and the photo did not require editing except for cropping an Lightroom added my camera model. Harriet is delightfully surprised by how well the camera handles macro shots!  The coin is from Burg Eltz. It comes with the guide tour of the castle. Harriet hiked 90 minutes to get up to the castle and it was well worth it! If you know Harriet well enough, you'd know Harriet is deathly afraid of heights and hiking is quite a task for her. Harriet thinks Burg Eltz comparable to Neuschwanstein and they serve delicious homemade wine up there. Harriet should make another post about the castles she's been to. They are totally a league of its own. Here's another favourite thing from the trip!  It's the audio guide from the Hergé museum! Yes! It has a touch screen and it plays videos and quizzes throughout the tour! Adds an amazing experience to the museum, where the exhibits itself is awesome enough. Harriet shall go do her readings now, she has more epic weekends ahead! A trip to Aachen this week and Stockholm the next. Herlina is in Stockholm! Harriet hopes to see her soon!  4 Comments |
