Sound fine except for 'TIP: When the memory card is removed for downloading, leave the camera access door open as a reminder.'

I always push mine nearly closed to save accidents and a broken access door. I replace the card as soon as the pictures have finished downloading.

More control of exposure;
Larger apertures and/or longer shutter speeds.
Typical use is to blur running water with perhaps 1 sec shutter speed or to hide moving people in a street with perhaps 20 sec shutter speed.

You make a good point why boudoir photography tend to feature females.
Having said that the feminists will start shouting 'sexist'.

That is about 2.5 teeth per inch the hand saws I mentioned have 16 - 24 teeth per inch and a blade that is less than 1/16" thick.

And why are so many extinct diseases making a comeback?
Why do more people have allergies?
Why is diabetis getting to epidemic proportions - oh yes, it is sugar to blame :roll:
Why is altzhemers so prevalent now.
Cancers, etc, etc, ect!

The media is full so full of spin that it is difficult anymore to tell what is true and what isn't.
What does appear to be true is that the pharmaceuticals want you to be sick or poorly - because they can then sell you a drug to fix you.
Our diet is so poor now days that we lack a lot of vitamins and minerals that are vital for health.

Alternative medicine is a pain in the side of the big pharmas and so they naturally are truing all they can to discredit them so people will buy their drugs instead.

Many things are now being quoted as 'a cancer risk' but naturally these do not include the mirriad of chemicals we are exposed to each day or the proven carcinogens from additives to our food! :roll:

Possibly? - but I have yet to see a power saw with anywhere that many teeth so the hand saws seem to have the finest pitch.
Looking at my hand miter saw I cannot even imagine 3 or 4 times the teeth even on a band saw let alone a box miter.
Perhaps someone has a link to such a piece of equipment?

Perhaps the poster has a professional specialist framing power miter saw - but these are very expensive so probably way above the amateurs pocket and would have given a better joint than shown.

Many professional framers appear to use a guillotine to cut accurate joints - still hand operated.

When I used to make frames I used a hand miter saw which had very fine teeth (perhaps 12 - 15 teeth per inch) resulting in an accurate and neat cut.

I copy as DNG in Lightroom which then (hopefully) saves my edits with the file in case I want to rework at a later date.
Pictures I definitely do not want are erased and then the edited JPG and DNG folders are stored on different drives.
JPG's are renamed to suit my personal filing system.

Took a trip to Exeter last week - still raining on and off.
UWA lens is still on camera.

Brings to mind the American visiting one of the stately homes in the UK.
He was impressed by the fantastic lawns and asked the gardener how they got such a smooth flat turf.
The gardener replied - we just mow and roll it.
The American exclaimed 'Is that all!'
The gardener replied - yes, just mow and roll it and in a few hundred years you will end up with a lawn like this.

Google 'Lightroom Presets' and you will find thousands of legal ones for free, many are from reputable companies and well known individuals.
With presets it is easy to scrap any you do not favour and end up with a few favourites which will be easy to manage.

'Jaw-Dropping'! Yes, my jaw did drop - in a boredom and a big yawn. :roll:

Especially when you consider that the Abbey Church was only started in 1907 and built piecemeal, according to the funds available - but at no time did work come to a halt until the whole church was completed, thirty-two years later. The builders - normally only four monks, and never more than six - began with the east end, the sanctuary, transepts and two bays of the nave. At first, while funds were low, all the stone had to be cut and dressed by the monks. In later years, they were able to buy the stone ready-dressed from the quarries. Scaffolding was made from wooden poles, lashed together with ropes and chains. Stone was lifted with manual hoists or block and tackle.

Thanks Linda. Did you see my shoot from my local town?

They all uploaded OK.
I will try a few more today but - for some reason - even at settings which have been OK in the past, the reduced pictures have drastically lost quality.
