Artificial Intelligence is OK.

If you want to make toast.

To control an interstellar spaceship takes a human.

Well not all of one.


Just the brain.

More later>>>>>>>

Anyway this week is mostly going to be about exhausts and portraits.

You never know I might post a photo of an exhaust. But by the end of the week I should have a couple of new portraits to post.

Here’s hoping for nice smiley bairns, and parents who don’t get in the way – you know who you are.

Anyway, have a nice week.

Cheers

photobucket

Hi

I've been playing about with Photobucket to use for slide shows.

have a look

If this one works, then I need to sort the code so a link doens't take you away from my blog.
Unless it takes you to my web site that is.

strike while the iron's hot

Hi Again

wow, two posts in one day, need to stop being this good.

OK I've updated my photobucket site, we'll really I've created a new one, the old one is still there, but its full of rubbish.

I've added a couple of images from a couple of recent weddings, just to see how they look, if it works I'll add other weddings and such

after training & web updates

Hi

We'll I've managed to do a bit of 'tweaking' to my blog, you might notice a favicon, at the top of the browser/ in the address line?
Let me know if you can't see it, should look something like:




Except that the one you see should be animated. And it wont be quite as large.

I've made some slight changes to text font and borders, but there is more I want to do, I'll get there.

I've also updated my DWF home page, but unless your a pro wedding photographer you wont see it, sorry.
If you can't see it, trust me its really special.

If you can see it, its only a work in progress, it will get better!

thats it for today, I'll have to go now, I want to go and buy a new camera,

look out for some good photos, coming soon.

Which reminds me, I need to sort out my photobucket. This web stuff never ends......

Oh aye the training went quite well, I'll say that until I get the feedback report, then I'll tell you the details.

cheers

macro training

Hi

Tomorrow I get to do a bit of training.

Its a wee while since I did any training, longer since I did training on photography. As a trainer I mean (or whatever there called these days)

I'm facilitating (is that what there called?) a course on macro photography. Using a Nikon D300, a Nikor 105mm 2.8 VR lens and a R1C1 wireless speedlight.

I must say I'm really impressed with the D300. I'm a Canon user, but the quality of the D300 could make me change my mind. But I'm a bit less impressed with the lens, I know its a macro (Nikon calls it a micro - ha) and for macro work its good, but for 'normal' work its not so good.

I'm used to using a 24-70mm (Sigma) with my Canon gear, and it does an excellent job as a general lens and a good job (or better - I've never really pushed it - yet) as a macro lens. I think for the best part of £500 I'd want a bit more.

But I am impressed with the R1C1 set up. With a range of fittings that allow good (excellent) macro work.

Anyway I'm looking forward to the training. If I don't mention it again it went rubbishly, fingers crossed.

(and now its today!)

It started out as a brown one,
but that's close enough.
