Hope you are soon feeling better TT.
Now you've got me sneezing


I'm working on a printed album of my Norwegian photos. I'd forgotten how much work is involved!

We are going out for a meal with the sons and their other halves tomorrow night. A good job we paid off the credit card balance

jeff - I might just come and buy some from you .

Diesel here is about €1.39/l.
Petrol is about €1.71/l and heading up daily.
Sunflower oil is €1.39/l.
Olive oil - just bog standard nothing special, not even extra virgin is €4.59 .

Or is it a case of fools seldom differ

Great minds

Maybe but unless you can get a student discount it is an expensive piece of software. Elements can do pretty much everything anyone needs to start with, and Lightroom can be added later when finances allow if you so choose.

Maybe we should put up a new topic with all the details?

I'm glad you like them Terry.

I loved Norway and the Norwegians. I have a whole new respect for both the country and the people. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and (mostly) very proud of their country in a quiet, unpretentious way.
And when you see the isolated places people live, and survive, well I am lost for words.
I even began to understand the language a bit by the end of the trip. Once I'd worked out how to pronounce the K in some words it got easier .

I really hope to return and see some more of Norway.

A pity the Goth weekend doesn't fall within the time.

Sadly my usual black subject, my dog Silke, is no longer around, so unless I can borrow a black lab I shall have to come up with another idea.

I could photograph his black Prius but that's maybe too easy.

It's a lighthouse, the same one that gets deluged just afterwards.

And the Chimping German. I liked that one too. I had to wait for ages until they'd all got off the plinth where they all stood arms widespread while someone took their photo - a bit like the Japanese do, and he was the last one - I think he'd gone for an artistic up through the globe shot, but I can't be sure - it was too damned cold and windy to stay there long waiting for a shot.

And he was a chimper - every photo was chimped and shown to anyone around him. I tried to avoid him.

There were two other k-5s on the ship though, one a French one, one an American (with stains). He was going to send it back after the trip. It was too much camera for him really - his first SLR never mind D-SLR. I tried to help him but sometimes he asked the weirdest things. Plus he was shooting in Sv most of the time. I persuaded him to switch to Av, and use the ISO button if he needed to, after which he got much better results.
