We posted a quick video of the tilting screen here:

The screen and cable is all weather-sealed and designed to work outdoors as well. The rubber cover on the ribbon cable looks to be quite sturdy.

I'm not keen on the poppies, too surreal for my eyes. But each to their own.
My eyes are drawn to the shadows on the wall, I'm certain that there can be some inference to the armed service personnel who so sadly left behind loved ones, or the fact that each poppy represented a human being who once cast a shadow on a wall.
I don't usually interpret photographic images, but I can definitely 'see' something.

I've also taken the contrast down and the clarity which seems to have given the poppies a better look.

When you go out with the Mrs dont take the camera she will always say why you taking that and after you walked round thirty shops there is little time for your picture taking but we all do it

i'm not sure either, I find it a bit 'busy' with nowhere for the eye to settle. I can understand though why you wanted to include numerous poppies to give an impression of the scale of display, rather than concentrating on a single one.

I remember it was pretty impossible to get remotely close to the poppies, there were tens of thousands of people trying to view them, it was actually pretty uncomfortable once you finally worked your way to the front to catch a glimpse so no chance of any macro type shots or close ups.
I'm pretty happy with this image considering the trouble I had taking it, I wonder if a more panoramic crop might work.
I do have some wider shots from other angles which include The Tower of London, I'll have another look through them see if any of them speak to me.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. So my automatic thought of "Anne" wasn't that far off after all.

You can select the source folder, select a target folder, select an image size say 800x600, then hit Run.
This will make a copy of your pictures, with the same names, but resize them to be either 800px or 600px along one edge, depending on its orientation.
