It’s so long since I last added a post! I’ve been really busy and a lot of things have been happening but I must post here more often.
I met with Victoria and Layton to go through the final details for their wedding which is taking place at DeCourcey’s, they’re a lovely couple and I’m really looking forward to photographing their special day.
I’ve just finished processing a load of images taken at an Italian wedding on a Nikon D700 camera, the quality of images is absolutely amazing particularly in low light at high sensitivity, the auto white balance is superb and very little post processing work is required on the images.
My HP desktop computer had a really noisy fan on the graphics card (it’s a common fault on that particular card) and the pc was collected by courier on the Friday afternoon and was back with me on the following Tuesday a superb turnaround. The graphics card was replaced and the BIOS updated to the latest version, the hard drive was unfortunately restored to a ‘factory fresh’ copy. 🙁 Fortunately I created an image of the hard drive before sending it back and was able to restore everything very quickly. While the pc was away being repaired I was using my back up machine which is only a single core machine, I certainly missed the power of the HP machine!
I’m currently studying a third level course with the Open University which requires me to use versions of Eclipse software provided by the OU, unfortunately the supplied version doesn’t run properly under Windows Vista 64 and I have been using my notebook running XP for the course but I finally installed a virtual version of XP on my desktop using VMWare and the software is running correctly, it’s so much easier just using the one machine. 🙂
