Rain break….. time to enjoy a beer whilst it rains…

New camera bag time! Got fed up with the Lowepro Pro Tactic being completely uncomfortable on hikes, so going a slightly different route this time! Need to get some insert cubes and work out how to attach a tripod now though! Super comfortable though!

Lightroom Classic is a steaming pile of arse. Sometimes (Rarely) it's nice and fast, other times (most of the time) it run's like a complete dog. You'd think an Intel 10900K oc'd to 5GHZ, 128Gb of ram an Nvidia 3080 and 6tb of M2 drives would be fine for editing one single photo

Sunset didn’t really do much yesterday, but it was nice to be out … loving the Osprey something or other bag, so much more comfortable than a lowepro!

Bit of a whirlwind tour this weekend… dropped my Son off at Swansea Uni on Friday and came down to Cornwall yesterday for a skate Comp today… need some sleep!

Actual tripod holes!

I have to say, I'm quite impressed with the updated AI removal tool in the new version of Lightroom. It actually works and is pretty fast from my initial play! Got a 2 day skate competition this weekend so that should be a good test on the rest of the update!

Why is printing such a ball ache? It’s never straightforward. Today’s fun was bent pins on one of the inks in the ink cartridge holder.

Popped to Corfe Castle with my wife this morning to catch sunrise... stats looked promising for mist around the castle but it was bit too windy on the south side of the ridgeway, so all of the mist was over Poole harbour... ended up taking this from the top of West Hill

Right, if anyone is looking for sensor swabs I can heartily recommend these on Amazon amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BNMDLXC5?… £12.99 for 20 and they come with fluid. I could say they're the most amazing swabs ever, but honestly, they're just swabs. They work and they're cheap. That's all!

Right, just back from watching Gladiator 2. What we need, is somone to sort out some kind of Intervention for Ridley Scot, so that’s he’s forced to stop making films.

Off up to the Lakes tomorrow for some walks (and beer in the Crafty Baa) with some mates... just debating whether I stick my running gear in and have a bash at Keswick parkrun on Saturday....it could do with a wash as it currently stinks....

Cumbrian Layers - I popped up to the lakes last weekend for a brief walking holiday with the lads, photography wasn't really the aim, it was more about getting some time away from things for a few days. Still, I managed to blag this shot from Hardknott Fort at sunset.

Currently staying in Keswick for the week and one thing I’ve noticed… what’s up with all the dog sh*t on the streets?? Walking in to the centre from our holiday let and we’re having to dodge loads of the stuff….

Time to up my photo storage game! Should stop me running out of space and I Have some redundancy built in now as well…

Went up "The Lookout" in the City yesterday. Great views, crap for photography. They let you take tripods up, but the Windows have an the outer pane of glass over 6 inches away from the first. Impossible to get rid of internal light reflections even with lens skirts etc.
