This post is the consequence of a conversation I had yesterday evening with my sister, chatting to her about the upcoming South Lakes Interclub Photography Competition, and how the whole thing works. But it is also kind of the point I was attempting to make on my previous post about fixing things in Photoshop that you…
SD cards are pretty cheap these days, but that doesn’t mean we should let our smaller ones go to waste, especially when a system doesn’t fully utilise the space of a larger one that could be more useful elsewhere. So, what can we do?
January was awesome, a super busy month, but I also had a lot to talk about, and a lot that I could talk about, and enough time to talk about it. February’s been even busier, but most of what I’d love to show off, I can’t talk about (damn those NDAs and that whole “privacy”…
When the Eye-Fi works so well with the iPad, why would I want to seemingly make life more complicated for myself by adding more hardware into the mix? Well, transferring to a Linux based machine like the CubieTruck offers me some advantages over the iPad. Some of them I alluded to in my previous post…
During my talk for Lancaster Photographic Society recently, I was asked a question that I’m also going to answer here. I’m paraphrasing, but it went something along the lines of… “Is getting the right exposure in camera really all that important? Can’t we just nudge it in Photoshop?” Before I start, I want to clarify…
I have been a member of Lancaster Photographic Society for about five years now, ever since my wife and I moved to Lancaster. Each week throughout autumn and winter we meet, and usually the photographers who come and offer presentations to us are detailing projects and genres that are very personal to them. They tell…
In photography, there are many items we would buy if only we could find a viable reason for putting down so much cash. First, for me, was the 70-200mm f/2.8VR. For years, I lusted after one, but didn’t really had a legitimate need for one that would justify dropping £1600+ until about four years ago.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d write a little bit more about my decision to run Debian through VirtualBox on a Windows machine. So, here we are. This post is more of a ramble than anything else. There’s no real substance here (and feel free to agree or disagree with that), I’m just…
My current WiFi situation on Location works for me at the moment. As I shoot, a couple of seconds after hitting the shutter, the images come up on my iPad screen. I can immediately see which images have hit their focus and are nice and sharp without unwanted motion blur. I can get a better…
I’ve had a few people message me on Facebook asking exactly how my network is setup, now that I’ve added the TP-Link TL-WR702N into the mix. It looks a bit of a mess, and this isn’t the kind of imagery I’m typically used to making in Photoshop, but this is the basic setup.
