Stuff

No I havn't been away yet...just had all the family here for the last 5 days.....I begin to feel my age when these events happen...lovely that they are. Lots of images to process, went to the 1940's weekend at Ramsbottom and took a select few, Tatton, Dunham....you know you can post but not tag images with ; national trust; as a tag.....they own all image rights....
Okay brand spanking new laptop...after a decade of Dells I am now a Samsung basher...nice springy keyboard big 17" screen 1TB of hard drive and 8gb of ram...so what's not to like...now I may be a bit late getting on the 'Windows 8 is a jolly old big bag of compost' bandwagon but I've jumped on board. Now I like Windows 8 on a mobile...the Nokia 920 was a delight..swiping, tickling, squeezing and the like...but on a non touch screen laptop...welll it dosn't work...so I'm unpinning all the tiles that i'll never use...and just using chrome to run most everything...oh and Adobe..... CS6 all loaded...Lightroom5 coming downstream as I type CS6 hopefully will switch over to CC in the next couple of weeks..images uploaded pretty quick as well so I'll try a bit of mashing later.... so Windows 8....poop springs to mind...very nice appy colourful poop ,but poop.
Okay for the last week I have been, yet again battling the weather to get out there and do some one to one work with folk.....meh...climate stuff, not condusive to photography tutorialso a bit different again but s and I'm off on a jolly to bonny Scotland on Friday... I'll be trying out some bracketed exposure work as well as time lapse stuff but it needs to be done,,,,,,
