I Love the Canon G16

I have been using the G16 pocket Camera quite a lot recently and the more I use it the more I like it. I find the build good and the image quality very good. It’s easy to use and whilst it doesn’t shine in any one area it’s a great, well balanced package that’s a … Continue reading I Love the Canon G16

July 15 in Review

July has been a tough month. The Lenscraft website crashed again which prevented quite a few people from accessing information and downloads. The cause was down to my subscribing to a Content Delivery Network or CDN. These help deliver content more securely and quicker that a hosted website. My intention was to speed up the … Continue reading July 15 in Review

Friday Image No.60

It's been a very long week again. Most of my free time was taken up with repairing the damage done to the Lenscraft site and dealing with errors in Google so I apologise for not posting anything of interest this past week.

Yet More Website Issues

I’m sorry to announce that the Lenscraft website is down again for the 3rd time in 6 months. I decided to sign up for the CloudFlare service (through my hosting company) and almost immediately Lenscraft went offline.

Friday Image No. 59

The clean-up of my image library backlog continues and I suspect it will be ongoing for some time. I worked out recently that I have nearly 300,000 images in the backlog – that’s going to take some time to work through. On a positive note I am certainly getting the desired distance (in time) from … Continue reading Friday Image No. 59

Lightroom Panorama Tool Tip

I am fast becoming a fan of the new Photo Merge to Panorama feature in Lightroom 6 (Creative Cloud). I can use the Stacking feature to easily group the photos in a panorama series so that I don’t mix them up with single images. I can then create the new merged panorama as a DNG … Continue reading Lightroom Panorama Tool Tip

Friday image No. 58

Recently I have begun the task (albeit slowly) of cleaning up my Lightroom Catalogues. I have loads of rubbish in there and all these images are beginning to weigh on my conscience. Some people do this clean up activity almost as soon as they have downloaded the images to their computer but this doesn’t seem … Continue reading Friday image No. 58

Sony RX10 Takes on Europe’s Strongest Man

There is a long held Christmas tradition in many UK homes and that is to watch the World’s Strongest Man competition. One of the heats leading up to this annual event is Europe’s Strongest Man, and that’s where I went at the weekend, my daughter having bought me tickets as a birthday present.
