Thanks Eric and Lin. There is a lot to learn about this one. Having never shot in RAW before I feel a bit more confident about trying it with this one. For some reason I seem to understand the instructions better!

Checked my PM's Dave. No message as of 12:44pm

I downloaded the trial and will have a 'play' with it. Is there anything it can do that Photoshop cant Dave. Just to get me pointed in the right direction? Andrew

Yes Dave your right. Its View NX2 that came with it. I must look into NX2 and see if ' She ' will let me go a bit further.... Andrew

Dave, That came on a disc with the camera. I have yet to fugure it all out. Kindest regards Andrew

My Canon Digital Rebel was getting a bit long in the tooth, although it still takes very good images. However I deceided it was time for a major upgrade. So off we toddled to Glasgow and I settled on a Nikon D5100 with a standard lens 28-50mm and a 55-200mm Nikor Zoom. They threw in a few bits...ie a bag and a UV filter and knocked some money off the accidential damage cover. All things considered I was happy with what I got and look forward to trying it out. First I have to read the book!!! Technology has really moved on since I got the Canon in 2005. I like the high ISO facility since I only had 1600 in the Canon but now have 6400 and up to 25000 by adjusting the ISO settings in the menu. Full HD 1080 Movie capability and vibration reduction in the lenses [whatever that is] A really big view screen helps also. So hopefully I can justify spending a considerable amount of money on new gear and improve my photography and the quality of my AV work. Andrew

I was at the NMA on Sunday and saw the results of the photography competition. Congrats to Howard on a very well deserved 1st Place. Stunning image. Andrew

As a vetern myself I had to compose myself for a few minutes before writing.The NMA is probably my favourite place to visit, having 3 friends named on the wall, and one on the Basra Wall. Howard, I salute you. This will find a place on my web site, and may I suggest you send this to Beechbrook so that it may be seen globally. Andrew.

Same as Ken Above.

A week ago I visited Roslyn for the first time in 2 years. I'm very happy to see the restoration work has leapt forward. With the extra revenues generated from the movie and the increased visitors they have added a shop and restraunt. The proceeds of which will go directly toward the cost of the restoration.This mystical building must be preserved. In 2008 photography was banned in the chapel due to an accident and subsequent law suit. Thereafter the trustees had a photodisc created, which once purchased allows the use of the images ' not for financial gain '. So I have combined my own [pre '08] with the disc images and have created an updated presentation. 58meg 4:09 It can be downloaded from here : http://www.trailertrashaudiovisual.com/Roslyn.exe or from Beechbrook [Thanks Bill] I do hope the future of this amazing chapel is now secure for the next 600 years. Regards Andrew

To old to care any more Colin. So I'll just enter a number and hope for the best.

After careful consideration of x+y = pye and 2/5/2 equals whatever, I've deceided that I'm agin it....whatever it is!!! :lol: :lol:

Yep Eric I shall garb myself in sackcloth and ashes. However, it now seems to me that to understand SIMPLE transition time > Slide time > Transition time - I now have to be a mathematition. I dont want to have to study algebra again at my age. I want things SIMPLE. Please Igor and advisors....give us something we can all understand without having to resort to calculas!!!! Andrew

Whats wrong with following proshows method and having independent timeings for each transition and each slide!!! They have video and they dont have all this nonsense.

Dear O Dear o Dear....when we get something simple.

Really no point in it at all Mick. I think the main and only object of the forum now is for question and answers at which it still excels. Andrew

The final part of our Barcelona trip. Inc Camp Nou stadium-The Olympic Stadium and the sights of the city. 48.6 meg 7:39secs 50 slides Hosted via beechbrook [ I'm taking my web site down for a full re-vamp] Andrew

LOL No John. I seem to have spelt it wrong.... bummer.

We went to Barcelona to celebrate our birthdays [ Jane and I are only 1 day between ] and Anniversary [ 38th ] and spent 5 days there. This is an astonishing place. The sights, the sounds and the hustle and bustle is amazing. We saw as much as we could given my ' circumstances ' but I even made it up in the lift to the top of the Sangrada!!! That building is just breathtaking. The design and the work that has went into it is just unbelieveable. So I created a small 4:28 - 33 slide - 25 meg presentation which is hosted via beechbrook [Thanks Bill] if anyone fancies a look. Part 2 will be the rest of the trip inc Camp Nou, the olympic stadium and the touristy bits. Andrew

I could have happily watched double the length and more. Loved the close ups [ my fav is the ' maiden ' with the dark BG ] You can find a lot of free medievil music here: http://www.jsayles.com/familypages/earlymusic.htm Its all free. Altogether a very very good show. Andrew

Scotlands Festival of History is celebrated annually at the town of Lanark. It plays host to many re-enactment societies, from a variety of events including the Roman's,Vikings, Tudor, Napoleonic, American Civil War, WW1 and WW2. All the ' characters ' assume the role they play for the event and will reply to your questions in the first person. Displays include the correct procedure for killing witches, [something the Scots were particullarly good at it seems] roasting techniques [thats pigs] weaponry, archery, falconry and full blown battle recreations. There are a vast array of craft stalls which sell all manner of wood carved items, clothes of the periods to full sized swords and shields!!! The actors will, when asked assume any pose to help you get the pictures you want, without payment. Just visit their particular stand and spend a moment or two discussing their uniforms and weapons. Its very interesting. There are numerous stalls selling things to eat and drink. So no need to go hungry. My personal favourite ' persona ' was General Robert E Lee. This presentation runs for 8:42 seconds and has 87 slides - 7 sound tracks. 53 meg Best viewed at full screen - 16:9 Nothing offensive. http://www.trailertrashaudiovisual.com/Slideshows/Heritage.exe Mac Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?vl827k5zs557h5z Beechbrook Link: http://www.beechbrook.com/pte/downloadfile.asp?id=1978 Thanks Bill for hosting.
