Free Adobe Lightroom
- July 16, 2008 - 2 comments

Well sort of, did you know you can test the beta 2.0 for 30 days? Well I've had a play with it and I must say I like the useability. But as I mentioned on Flickr when I posted this, I'm not sure I can justify the £200 it will cost against the amount of real use I am going to get out of it. If it was my career or a move towards that level of product with home printing I think I would. I certainly would jettison a lot of the work I do in photoshop in 8 bit in favour of 16bit. But mostly no-on wou…
Getting to grips with HDRShop - tonemap
- July 2, 2008 - 2 comments

As you will know, I have a copy of HDRShop. What I can't get anyone to give me is any pointers on what to do when....... So it looks like I will just have to do it myself and leave hints for future generations later. I started with a raw file which I converted in to seven JPG files in 1 stop steps from to I have a camera specific gamma correction curve which I used because I don't want to go second guessing this stage yet. So on to tonemapping - using the plugin defaults you ge…
Inspiration from odd places
- June 19, 2008

We were on the beach a Seaton a quick visit to get the kids out of the house, ride the tram and then home. The sun was glorious and the skies were filled with that light white cloud that make for the best summer skies. The kids were throwing one of the many stones from the beach back into the sea, when I heard a woman further up the beach say "These stones are murder on my feet". Seems strange that it should have stuck but there we go I looked over in her direction as she picked her way gingerly…
Beach huts
- June 18, 2008

So I have finally sucumbed to the English Photographer's pecadillo of photographing beach huts. Can't tell you why these last two weekends I wanted to, but I did. Can anyone tell me why they are so photographic? It seems odd that wether they are closed up or occupied they appear to want your attention. Perhaps it is that essentially a garden shed is personalised and put on public display. Now I can hear many of you say that rarely are they personalised, coming as they do (generally) in either…
Alone with 2 children on a bank holiday weekend in the UK
- May 26, 2008

Why has the Eu not harmonised public holidays yet? In the UK we moan that we do not have the same number as some European countries. The irony is of course that these mainland European public holidays are a set day and do not count if they fall on a weekend. But harmonisation would be good. My wife works for the UK arm of a Spanish company, with a French holding company (go figure). So today when the rest of the UK takes a break is in Madrid for 3 days working (well being in meetings, I never co…
HDRShop
- May 12, 2008 - 1 comment

I read in photography monthly about a free (for non-commercial) HDR program www.debevec.org/HDRShop . I thought I would give it a go. So this is the first play - no reading the manual how easy is it to produce a decent rendition. Took about 5 minutes - mostly because I sidetracked myself looking at the RAW importer section and I had to work out that I had no way of adjusting the 32bit HDR version. This is the LDR version JPG tweaked for levels which I felt were a bit dark in the mid and hitones…
Hesdin
- May 9, 2008

What a wonderful world the internet can be. Someone on flickr has just pointed me in the direction of some information on this house. Apparently it has some history to it which can be found in the native French here...http://fr.blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-AkYRPIcjdKkVxo_LtoLzoQ--?cq=1&p=582 and a poor translation here The house of the Father BRASSART (born in Hesdin in 1784 and died in Hesdin in 1854) Louis-Joseph Brassart was the son of a merchant. He enlisted in the Great Army, an…
Your help please
- May 8, 2008 - 4 comments

I have entered one of my photographs into a Canon competition (a chance to win kit I can't afford). I have chosen a black and white Macro of a birds eye chilli, which is a decent shot. I have no idea why as the photographs are being judged but apparently I need some votes as well, probably as part of the selection process. So please help me get to the judgment phase rather than being left in the cold by following the link and voting. ta.canon-europe.com/?pg=gallery&cc=gb&lc=en&photo_id=fot…
I'm liking Flock
- May 4, 2008

I decided to revist using Flock as a browser at the beginning of this week. I must say I am impressed with the interface's development. It is far better than when I tried it out in the beta development tests. Partly, because of the interactive partners onboard (Team Ipernity please note Flock does not work with this site), but mostly because they have cleaned up some of the annoying parts of the interface. Design wise I would still say it is not an ideal browser there is not enough room…
Je suis en vacances en France
- April 20, 2008

Well I have been but I am now back and alternating between preparing some work on Hesdin, where I was staying and the kite festival in Berck sur Mer. Plus all the family photographs and keeping a watchful eye on the little ones and my in laws. The latter also explains why I am now hiding out with the computer and taking refuge in ipernity for a few moments.
Flickr in trouble
- March 11, 2008 - 4 comments

I hadn't really been on Flickr for a couple of weeks too much else to do, but it seems that the scripting had fallen over on keeping up to date with contacts photographs. Anyway the workround was implemented only for the bugs to start coming out of the woodwork. Including for me a conflict with my internet security program. Basically, I can't see photographs at a humane pace and so am going to have to stop commenting and viewing stuff. Which aint too bad I don't have loads of time normally at th…
Bread
- January 13, 2008

Normally it is mummy and the Sparrow who do baking, but daddy has one baking trick he is allowed to pull off with his son. I am allowed to bake bread - but not apparently cakes and biscuits. So yesterday Sparrow and I made his first batch of Soda bread. Which is odd since his mother is Irish and she was not the one showing him how. I have a couple of shots of the finished loaves which I will load up as soon as possible.
Christmas again!!
- January 3, 2008

So today I have my second Christmas. I have been saving for sometime towards a new prime lens for my camera and through some fortune seem to have saved twice as much as I needed. This along with some very kind gifts over Christmas has meant I could also buy a tablet and CCD cleaner. All of which arrived in the post today! I had an initial panic because I thought this nice new 50mm lens wasn't going to work with the camera - until I realised I hadn't completed the full rotation so there was a re…
Charmouth
- December 8, 2007

So now I begin the work of processing the pictures of Charmouth in Dorset - thankfully I don't think I took as many as I did in Devon. Thank goodness as I have a load of other photographs to process as well.
Peppercombe
- December 3, 2007

Well I finally managed to complete all the processing of the photographs I took around Peppercombe in Devon. This has felt like an uphill struggle to find the time to actually stop and look at what had been taken with a degree of calm cogitation. Then on top of it all to actually process the images, even though some require little in the way of work. I wonder if the rest of you find the same struggle? Of course now I have everything taken in between (and some from before), which includes birthda…

To my ipernity chums I'm sorry I've been neglecting you - life has caught up with me and there hasn't been enough time to look at your stuff and do all the real world work. The good news is that it should be easier to catch up in the coming weeks. The bad news at the moment is that there is no more natural history of deckchairs - partly due to the lack of opportunity to get some shots and also because I think they hibernate over the winter :). bad google translation into German Zu meinen i…
