Shifty fookers AW. re the heat we timed it atrociously. Actually the lack of humidity is the saving grace.
This was cool. Homemade sailer and homemade board.
I don’t miss much in the biological world, always looking at the ground.
Early this morning I was blown away by the overnight movements of a common gastropod, Garden Snail.
Out on the deck the snail must have tried to lick the dogs bowl clean so to speak, then travel in all manner over a dog mat and left its mark.
It’s gliding slime is made out of water, minerals , carbohydrates and proteins.
The things you see. AW
Stacked to the horizon.
Funky snail art AW.

Seeds. Hi fella, hope you and your lovely are enjoying the Indian Ocean pleasures.
Beautiful shots of the clouds and all other natural beauty.
I counted 12 different colours and shades in one of the photos. West is best the locals say. AW
Here is one from a fortnight ago at 6.40am heading to my Reno job on the bay.
5 different sources of light (4 artificial,1 natural) amongst the scurry to work. AW
magic, @AW, reminds again of clarice beckett, geelong site shows a good array of her work, cars, wet evenings, collins st, st kilda and broad bay views exemplary of light use in tonalism..

Ooh, that’s nice, I want one. AW
Loving the west AW.
Blackers I just realised the cloud reflected in your pic is bouncing off wet sand not water. I zoomed in on my phone. All pics must be more impressive viewing on a pc or laptop screen, of which I own neither.

which software are you trying out blackers?
What's the verdict, any good?
Ordinary photo but still...
No greater love than a father and the dog he didn't want.

The classics. Not inside... Not on the couch... Not on the bed...

Hi fliplid.
I am planning ahead for losing my work computer and the free Lightroom/PS sub that comes with it and thought I'd try ON1 PhotoRaw as you can buy it outright for under $100 at the moment. Its seems pretty good for quick processing and edits, but slow to load on the laptop compared to the others. Not sure about the colour palette but it is easy to navigate and has some interesting AI applications making it like many phone photo apps now. Will compare it against Canon DPP at some point to see whether it is any better. Jury is out still.
Hi blackers, I might have to get new software sometime soon as well, the desktop computer recently gave up the ghost and laptop is playing up so I'm not sure if what software I have will transfer over to a new computer.
I've had ON1 for a few years (so a previous version to what you are using) but stopped using it as I found it wasn't as intuitive or as good on the highlights as Capture One which I tend to use the most. You should have a look at DXO Photolab on a free trial as it is fairly good, again I'm using a previous version but it is simple to use and you can really good results although a bit slower when exporting jpgs than LR and Capture One, no cataloguing or key wording in my version but not sure about the current software. By chance I used the Canon DPP the other day and was impressed with it and wondered why I bothered with all the others!
Hehe, there was one in Padma St many many years ago that the locals would tickle with a feather, female pedestrians were the target

Thanks for the advice Fliplid.
Similarly, I have tried some different options, including Capture 1. I want something that works well and I can use across different raw formats (principally Canon and Fuji with some older Nikon files I have lying around). Capture 1 is fine, but more expensive than I want to commit to at present. DPP is simple and effective, but it crashes my current setup and does not process the Fuji files. May have to stick with Lightroom and PS but not a fan of the cataloging system they use (too far gone with my own haphazard file management approach) or the subscription model. A schmick up-to-date bit of hardware, unencumbered by work-based software bloat may be all I need to find the love again. As will not working any more and having time to fart about on things I enjoy.
In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
