I just managed to get the Lenscraft site back on line. I will post more when I have time. Thanks for your patience. Robin
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. Not only is the Lenscraft site down I also can’t get into the admin side to try to … Continue reading Yet More Website Issues
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. The competition … Continue reading Sony RX10 Takes on Europe’s Strongest Man
HDR Problems in Lightroom
If you are a Lightroom user you are probably aware that the recent release of version 6 included Photo merge for panorama and HDR photography. In fact, that seems to be pretty much all that was in the new release. In the past I have written about the merge to panorama but not about HDR. … Continue reading HDR Problems in Lightroom
Thanks for the Ideas
This is just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who has contacted me with ideas for future tutorials on Lenscraft. I will be working on these over the coming months as I seek to build out the materials available. There are some where my expertise doesn’t extend or where I don’t feel qualified … Continue reading Thanks for the Ideas
Friday Image No.57
Do you ever have the experience of seeing one of your photographs and thinking “I really like this but I don’t know why”? You continue to look at the image and convince yourself that it’s poor or boring and move on. A few minutes later it catches your eye again and you think yes I … Continue reading Friday Image No.57
