That was a really wonderful day for me! I’ve come to like NY after all. So thank you very much!

O! Thank you for leaving a comment for us! We asked Ignat 300 times, but he still never left us a single one!

I’m glad you like it here so far! This really is a great country and a beautiful magnificent city.

Hopefully next several weekends will be even more fun!

Ignat isn’t a regular commenter in my own diary either. He doesn’t like leaving comments. In our family I’m the one who does

You should give us a link to your blog (if it’s not private)!! We’ll live you comments.

What is private on internet? I have too many flashmobs and tests and very little clever thoughts in my diary, but if you are not frightened by this -
You are surely welcome! http://diary.ru/~JewelleryVita

you the the fucking man=D thanks alot for that guide thing i tried it myself with a knife worked wonders.

haha diy love it
cheers neil

Heh, glad it was helpful.

Yea man this was really good, I used a knife to get it open and luckly the hold switch icon came of..I guess I dropped it too many times

wonderful piece of information dude!
Yu da king!
thanks!
Managed to break the plug clasp while pinchin the ribbon back with a pair of tweezers, but its better to have the hold switch off and deal with it rather than have an unusable ipod!
And it did work when i held the ribbon in place! Thanks

This same thing happened to my Ipod, thank you so much for posting this information, You saved me seventy dollars.

OMG !! dude it worked !! Thanks so much! Greeting from Costa Rica!

Dude, you just saved my musical life! Thanks!

What am amazing two-minute fix! My 5 year old and 2 year old can listen to their favorite song “Rock Lobster” again after a few days of listening to whatever the Ipod gods wanted them to listen to.

Brilliant thanks! ipod is up and running when I had all but given up on it. certainly more help than apple!

AWESOME INFO. I had all but given up!! I really appreciate this info!!

SUPERB! Nice one man. I thought my ipod was going to continue life as a paperweight but this info got it rockin’ again. Took a good deal of prising to get it apart, it certainly looks 2nd hand now. 5 Stars!

I also enjoyed our walk though some streets of China Town. Crowds of people, sharp smell of fish near some grocery stores, exotic fruits and vegetables on side-of-the-street lots, ethnic music in a little park on our way… It’s amazing, how different this part of New York city is from the one we live in.

The ferry ride was fun too. Manhattan looks beautiful from all angles!

I liked China Town too. It was very interesting. I enjoyed also our quick walk through Manhattan. There were a lot of beautiful buildings. I’m determined to visit those churches we were passing by
The ferry ride is also one of the best memories.

Pictures are very nice!
The beams looked so dramatic. And those golden spots floating in the light were rather mysterious.

Alena, I loved this recipe and was going to ask you for it It was really really delicious!

Thank you, Вика!

Игнат посмотрел на эту фотографию и сказал: “Вот так должно выглядеть блюдо, которое нужно фотографировать!” Придется учиться

Ой, ну сейчас начну смущаться (красная рожица упорно не желает вставляться, так что поверьте на слово).

Мне кажется, что уж кто-кто, а ты Вика готовишь ну как минимум не хуже. А фотогеничность – это дело наживное.

<– Это Алёна (ну в случае если вы на слово не поверили).

Я вот тоже хочу присоединиться к похвалам, хотя делала это уже неоднократно. Попробовать бы твою стряпню, Ленчик, как-нибудь – уж очень аппетитно выглядит

Ууу.. ням-ням
Вот это я бы сейчас слоапла бы за милую душу. Смотртится абалденно, на вкус, уверена ,еще лучше!

Музыкальный инструмент называется “Steel Drum” — выходец из Карибских стран.

Спасибо за информацию!!

Алена, ты так здорово обо всем написала! Я даже не знаю, что теперь писать у себя

Спасибо на добром слове! А то я Даньку всегда мучаю – “интересно тебе читать? или скучно? может, это убрать? или что-нибудь добавить?”

Ты не отлынивай от писАния под всякими неблаговидными предлогами. Я твой блог каждый день проверяю, а новостей всё нет и нет (хоть, каюсь, комментарии еще не оставляла).

Молодец, Алена! Хорошо написала про поездку к Статуе Свободы. Есть интересные детальки. А что за вещицы вы купили в магазине для взрослых?!

Посмотрел сейчас фотографии, которые вы сделали во время поездки. Очень понравились.

Спасибо!!

А в магазине мы просто немного освежили гардеробчик.

Best photos, imo:

Photo 1
^ Very good use of depth of field; very “still life”.

Photo 2
^ To me, the Statue of Liberty on its own does not possess any artistic impression. In this photo, however, she’s kind of looking over the city, which seems miniscule in comparison to her. “Guardian of the City” is what I’d call it. I like the colors in this one better than the other one that’s almost identical. If you could touch it up to remove the dark gradients in the corners, it’d be perfect

Thank you for the comment, much appreciated. Always interesting to hear detailed insight of other people on my photography.

The first photo even though executed nicely in my mind is only OK. There is nothing special about that photo that makes it stand out from the rest.

The Statue of Liberty photo that I posted above is my favorite probably not for the composition (like you said, it’s just a statue), but more for the post-processing part. It took me about an hour and it really looks amazing compared to the originals. The sharpness, the light / shadow distribution, the color. I’ve been trying to come up with a nice HDR image for over two weeks, and this is the first one.

Other then that it’s another regular image.

You’re right about the “Guardian of the City” photo. It’s much nicer and more interesting composition-wise. I’m going to spend some time on it when I get back home and see how it can be improved.

Thanks again for the comments.

yea that is a nice route.
i got dropped back in traing for two weeks. so my SOI training should be two weeks longer now. ten weeks total which sucks a**.
i wish i could come along with you for that trip.
have fun.
take lots of pictures.

Интересно было почитать. Я рад, что ваша поездка удалась, и вы увидели что-то новое.

Хехе… Рулон Обоев

Great photos. Cool spaceship.

To be honest, if I ever encountered a sign that pointed to Joppa going left and Joppatowne going forward, I would definitely pick Joppatowne — a whole town of Joppas is much better than just one

Hehehe.

Даня, зря ты скромничаешь, ты был замечательным гидом! Я даже не ожидала, что моя поездка в Америку бедет такой насыщенной и интересной, какой она оказалась благодаря тебе. За один вечер и утро в Вашингтоне мы успели увидеть все самые главные достопримечательности.

А я и не заметила, что так много болтала в тот вечер в Антлантик-сити Видимо, у меня случилась неконтролируемая вспышка мозговой активности. По вечерам и в хорошей компании у меня такое бывает

Вдруг наткнулся на этот пост. Прочитал и сам пост и комментарии. Куча приятных воспоминаний!

О да, мы тоже всегда вспоминаем эту поездку с большим удовольствием!

Yeah, I still feel bad about leaving that person out.

On a different note, I think I finally understand what the name Pushpinder means, at least partly.

Heheh.
