Le Blog De Adrian Moore ^_^

Well in an attempt to get back out walking, Dartmoor and Coastal walks, ive managed to get bitten by the Geocaching bug ^^

Sooo ive signed up to Groundspeak.com , and loving it, also splashed out on the Active 10 SatMap ( to kinda replace my Garmin eTrek ) , though there is no software for the apple mac for the active 10 yet

But it is really a great piece of kit, though if you go for it, then invest in the poly battery pack

Well ive got the battery pack too, was a little tuff replacing the battery holder with the battery pack, but with a flat head screwdriver and a little force it was sorted ^^.

I find using the active 10 in map mode a god send, as the pointers on most hand held GPS’s seem too point all over the place when you get real close to the destination, whereas the map mode you can see more clearly where you are at

A Petition you may be interested in completing (This is from the 10 Downing Street Petition site):

Quote “The BBC plans to launch an on-demand tv service which uses software that will only be available to Windows users. The BBC should not be allowed to show commercial bias in this way, or to exclude certain groups of the population from using its services. The BBC say that they provide ’services for everyone, free of commercial interests and political bias’. Locking the new service’s users into Microsoft Windows whilst ignoring those members of society who use other operating systems should does not fit in with the BBC’s ethos and should not be allowed.

Well, we are back and had a wonderful time, so much so, that i really do want to go back there again.
Some photos will be published here as a “day by day” thing, but alot of the Family and personal stuff will go to my dot mac account as that is going to be password protected, so only family and friends can see it.

Though i may use the password protect feature in Wordpress here for some personal stuff, i’ll see which is easer, More than likley it will be the dot mac way, as i can simply publish from iPhoto!

Anyway, photos etc to follow soon

Just got myself the cokin filter system, plus a ND4 filter, will have to save for the polariser though as it is £50, and my old one off the film camera does not function with the digital ( everything is blurred, even using manual focus! )

I am try my best to find a program that will keyword 10 plus photos with the same keywords, rather than doing it all myself manually, i have PS CS2 , Portfolio 8 ( demo ) , iView ( demo ) and Capture Lite ( demo ) and i simply can not find an easy way just to select a bluk load of images and then keyword then in one mouse click!

Any ideas? Walkthough’s …..

Yes!! I have got in with Alamy ( www.alamy.com ) for my photography

These guys pay alot better for the budding semi pro! , Got 10 photos up now for keywording on the RF licence, and if those go well, then i may try at non-exclusive or exclusive licence.
Although to be honest i am most happy using RF, it means more people get to see my art

Diane has give me a link to Adobe’s latest public beta of Lightroom, Which is great looking, but for what ever reason on my Dual G5 is dead slow, So…..
I was wondering what are the PRO’s using to convert CR2 files to tiff and jpeg? , I have a trail of Capture 1 which looks OK ( but not fantastic ) , I have seen Raw Shooter which is very good, but alas it is only for Windows .. *sob* ..

We have apples Aperture, But i do not know much about this, plus it is quite a new application, and i am sure the PRO’s have been using somthing before that came out.

I know photoshop can do this, but i hear that the PRO’s do not go for it much! …. Any ideas?

Making some little “tweeks” to Photography of Adrian Moore i will add some more photos using this system, and i think i will have this way being used to display my Gallery, rather than using mg2 to handle this, I think it handles and looks far better.
Let me know what you think

Recent spam attached i have decided to update to the latest version of WP
Running old out dated php scripts are a danger! So it is always best to keep up i guess.
Now i’ll have to reskin everything again!

i’m adding more photos to the site, plus A new Gallery hopefully for a new client to have a look at my work!
