Hi David,

1st one doesn't do much for me, the falls shot must have been great to be there, but I just find there's too much going on and I don't know where to look, but I really like the tree shot, and the boat shot is my favourite.

Mind you, I've nearly finished a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape!!

Happy New Year!!

Cheers,

ds

I don't blame you. They come up occasionally on ebay but it won't come cheap!!

That's not what you said, though, Donald. Mind you, that is what I suspected you might have meant and, in that case, I'm with you there!!

That's a very interesting sentence, Donald. It's like saying I don't like swans because they are too green.

Really, shooting in RAW and heavy pp are not inextricably linked. Quite the opposite. The only difference between RAW and jpeg is that there is a greater capability for control in certain situations in pp with RAW. That's all. Some would say that it's possible to retain greater quality, but I certainly don't want to get into that old argument again (even though I do shoot in RAW).

I've only produced one photobook, and that was very recently. I used blurb and was more than satisfied with the quality.

Oh wow!

And I have to say I don't say that often!

That's funny!

I typed in a line of our address here in France, expecting a complete failure, and it actually brought up a satellite shot of our house from google maps and put a snowstorm over it.

Not like the real thing, as we will find out in Jan/Feb!
