I spent some time today getting my Palm Tungsten C to synchronise correctly with my notebook computer.
I’ve also been working on album designs recently and I thought I’d post some examples of common image variations.
Here’s the original colour image
Here’s a black and white version
Here’s a sepia version
and here’s a blue tint version
It’s been a very busy few days. Sam and Sophie called around a few days ago to collect the DVD slideshow of their recent wedding and sat with my notebook computer and selected the images for their wedding album. I emailed them an initial design for their album the next day and they emailed back a few minor changes that evening, the final design was then approved and the files sent to the lab for printing. I’ve also been busy making up albums and processing orders from our web galleries.
The work on the fences has been completed, the only outstanding work is a new roof for the car port and the roof and window blinds for the conservatory which are hopefully being fitted at the end of the week. Here are a couple of snaps that show part of the conservatory interior.
This is where I spend most of my working day! Colour laser printer on the left, then the notebook computer which is used for most tasks including email, image processing etc., unfortunately the colours on the notebook aren’t terribly accurate so images are viewed on the Eizo monitor to the right. When not processing images the Eizo is used to view the Linux file server (which is located upstairs). The album display shelves are on the right.
and here’s a closer view of the album display
I had an email from Rachel this morning, she’s decided to book me for her wedding. 🙂
I enjoy restoring old and damaged photographs and here’s one I’m working on at the moment, it isn’t quite completed at the moment as I still need to do a little more restoration work.
Here’s the before image
and this is the retouched version
Well it’s been a very busy few weeks since I last posted. We’ve had various members of the family staying with us, a lot of do it yourself work and a very busy wedding workload.

Claire and I went on the Brecon Mountain Railway Here’s a panorama image stitched together from some handheld shots from the Fuji F11.
We called into the KFC on Newport Road, Cardiff this evening.
A lot of rain today!
The conservatory walls were plastered today, just the floor, final fitting and decorating to go. Here’s a photo of Stuart plastering the walls.
Here’s a photo of Claire visiting the Dan-Yr-Ogof Showcaves today.
The Yell salesman called again today with some ideas for advertising, this is his suggestion.
I had a little play around in Photoshop and prefer this
However I’ve yet to be convinced that spending nearly Ă‚ÂŁ2,000 on advertising with Yell is what I really want to do!
David and Hannah called in this evening.
Here’s a photograph of Tiegan that I took yesterday evening with the Fuji F11 point and shoot camera.
I spent most of the day processing print orders.
Shopping at Tesco Extra in Talbot Green this morning and then Sunday lunch at John & Ida’s in Pontypridd. Cleaning the Passat this afternoon with a little ‘help’ from the twins (Chloe and Anita). Here’s a photograph of one half of the twins.
We had the pleasure today of photographing Mark and Laura’s wedding at the Manor House Hotel, Penarth. It was a lovely ceremony with great guests. We were even lucky with the weather as it started to pour with rain just as we finished the group shots.
