A ridiculously short day but we were all working, but wanted to make a dent on the route to make it less of a rush to catch the ferry to Skye on the Friday.

This was also a chance to tick off a bucket list item and have an overnight at the Drovers Inn in Inverarnon.

This is one of my favourite pubs in the area and we always stop for food or a drink when we are passing. This 300 year old inn is famous for it’s welcoming atmosphere and scary taxidermy specimens.

I always wanted to stay here – bucket list item – ticked!

Lightroom Weirdness – Panoramas

No Comments on Lightroom Weirdness – Panoramas

I know there have not been a lot of posts recently but I have been doing a lot of learning and processing in Lightroom from my recent holiday.

I have just spotted an interesting bug / feature when creating panoramas.

I shoot in raw & jpg – both with the same resolution.
I have just had a couple of scenarios where, when I create the panorama from the raw files it creates OK. If I create from the jpg files it does not give me the full width.

It is not a size limit – I have created MUCH bigger panoramas than these.
I’m assuming it’s not a problem with the contents not merging as the raws worked but the JPGs didn’t.

Thoughts?

Elasticated Lens Cap Keeper

No Comments on Elasticated Lens Cap Keeper

Another photography related gadget. Historically I used only my Nikon DSLR an in all the years I used it I never lost a lens cap.

Since switching to the Olympus Pen-F I have lost three lens caps in 6 months. Rather than continually buy new lens caps I went for a lens cap keeper. It detracts a bit from the looks of the camera, and I’m not keen on having the cap swinging around but ……

Basically there is a circular disk that is permanently stuck on your lens cap and an elasticated loop that you can attach to something. I have it attached to the camera strap loop but I suppose you could put it around your wrist etc (if you remember).
