Hi Mike,

The Grass Snake is absolutely stunning

Hi Gareth,

#4 is superb.

Superbly lit, great rim lighting around the mouth and under the chin

Thank you all for your assistance, I think it'll have to be Win 10.

Really appreciate all your views and experiences 😊that's what makes this a good forum.

Thanks Mag07, the interface on my wife's machine has loads of boxes on the front screen prompting FB, Twitter, and other social media sites which she wasent signed up to at the time and she's only recently gone to FB

Unfortunatly, not my style and I found the interface difficult to navigate.

Thanks Mag07, useful suggestion, the only problem with Win 7 and it may be me is that my wife has had it for some years now and I hate the desktop whenever she's asked me to sort an issue, it forces you on social media and imo isn't user friendly plus u have the horrible corner stuff.

Good Afternoon all,

I need some help please, had a complete hard drive failure this morning, the only thing lost is the programmes on the drive, I kept all my data and images on separate and backed up drives.

My question is this thou :-

Is it time to move from XP to Win 10 and will Photoshop 6, Lightroom 6 and MS Office 2013 run on Windows 10 ?

Can you also get rid of the social media stuff on Windows 10, presume its the same as on Win 7, I hate it and get to a more conventional interface closer to XP ?

Might be easier to use a different location where the subject is further away from the background, its the closeness of the boys head to the back of the sofa that's causing the shadow, if you pump a load more light in that area, its likely to blow out / over-expose.
