Whats New!
New stuff, corrections and future
direction notes
August 2011
- Set up new website for landscape photography and poster prints. Direction is now relaxing photography. Click here
- Wife had brain bleed and stroke in May. Hospital then nursing home. 90% paraylised, no recovery. All hobby stopped. Maybe start again on 2011.
- Scanning stopped. Cleaning up all photos scanned to date. Interesting parts of the photo are being enlarged. This was the intent when the photo was taken, before I had extra lenses and zoom lenses unheard of and hellishly expensive anyway. Extra images are suffixed by an a,b,c etc or have smaller incremental numbers than the major scans. Need to keep 8 character filenames at the moment.
- Scanning progress. I'm now about halfway through the black and white films with about another four years to go. Then the colour slides will start and ther's about four years of work with that lot. See you in ten years!
- New work camera purchased, a Canon sx200. This camera replaces three digital cameras worn out since 2002.
- The website is now about 8Gb in size and expanding. DVD/CD distribution is no longer an option. I have added a "Donations" button in the menu to help with costs.
- A programme called "Coppermine" is in use as a replacement for the Fotopic site. Still fighting with this program and may have to change. Coppermine was to be a display of the best slide show type photos with access by friends to put up their stuff.
- Canon 450D purchased and photos since November 2008 are from the Canon.
- Most research material has been passed on. Most hobby books sold off in an effort to clean up the hobby
