Don, I sympathise with your 'not my thing'. I simply can't get my head round the complexities of the big name editing programs. However, that doesn't stop me processing my images. I use a fantastic free program called Faststone Image Viewer. It loads in a couple of seconds and it is absolutely intuitive once you get used to the fact that the controls pop out from the sides of the screen when you move the mouse there. It isn't remotely as powerful as say, Photoshop but it has one big advantage: I can use Faststone - I can't use Photoshop! Give it a go - you've got nothing to lose!

I like old ironwork and you've done a great job with these.

I could have done with that this afternoon at Wooten Warwen. That 1st one is the business!

There's no way I could get up there but I do appreciate your sharing of what was to be seen. Thank you.

Yes, #2 but the others are no less fascinating the way you have presented them.

I can't see why the A series 50mm macro hasn't moved. This is a stunning lens -- you can put extension tubes on it and you can put a rear converter on it too. It's as good as a walk-around as it is for macro. Put it on a K1 and its resolution is amazing.

I'm not an IR fan but these have worked really well.

I won't say, "get well soon" because you should take as long as it needs. But I do hope it is soon! .... And I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I discovered why my K1 won't fire properly at the first actuation. The mirror goes up but it doesn't come back down without a lot of button jabbing and even removing the battery. After that kerfuffle it works fine all day long. I'm just dreading the day it stays up!

That water drop on the bluebell really makes the picture!
