Mum goes into hospital this week so i’ll be on tender hooks while she has her surgery. So i’ll not be doing a lot of photography this week.
Nik Software and Photoshop plug-ins
Obsillescence is always an issue with computing and now in digital photography. I used to Nik software for a while, the black and white module that plugged into Lightroom was very affective. Now that Nik has been bought by Google we get no more updates and as Adobe continue to update their products the old plug-ins get broken.
I suppose that is life now, and why I am trying to do most of my editing now with just Lightroom and Photoshop and no other third party software.
Another Year and another OS X now MacOS release coming soon
I generally update my laptops fairly quickly but my main desktop only gets updated after lots of testing.
This year MacOS gets two significant updates under the hood. The new file system which I am very excited about but possibly more critical for us users is the fact that support for 32-bit applications gets dropped in this version.
You might want to review your critical software before updating.
More rumours of new Leica TL and a price cut
Lots of rumours of a new model the 5370 from Leica are now appearing. The Leica T was refreshed to the TL last year, but this was more software then an actual upgrade. Lots of government websites show a new Leica model using the code 5370 has now been registered so it should only be another couple months.
Off with the Roof
The pub refurbishment is moving along, with the good weather they have started on replacing the old roof.
Riverside Walk
Having a week off meant we had an excuse to take Timmy for a good walk so we decided to have a long walk by the canal into Lincoln.
Lincoln University – Art and Lens based media
The old Ruddock’s building had an exhibition this month. Lincoln University has a large film, TV and lens based media department and some of the students work went on show.
A week at home
We now have a week at home to work on the garden. We will be making the odd trip into town but mostly it will be a mix of gardening, DIY and enjoying the delights of the village.
Village Pub Rebuild
The new owners of our village pub are taking it from strength to strength. One of the issues is that the bar area is rather small, and with us having Timmy the Greyhound the bar is the only area we can go into if we want our hound with us. So this month they have started on a extension.
Street Theatre
Its now the time of year where there is always something going on in Lincoln, this time on my Lunch time walk it was some street theatre.
If you have never been, you really must visit Lincoln, the Cathedral alone is one of the most impressive buildings in the whole world.
