Sailors for both as far as I know...

 

Thanks for that info, @littleade! And, yes, we do have that same saying in the U.S. but with a bit of a twist. Typically--at least how I've always heard it--it's sailors take warning rather than shepherds.

If our weather forecast for this coming week bears out, that saying will also bear out as It's predicted to rain nearly every day. Of course it is--Mr. Sandi and I are on holiday from our school-based jobs and we return to work when the weather is predicted to clear. Well, we'll take it as it comes.

Rio verde
Final destination of the off-road we did on Sunday
It goes through a canyon about 400m deep.

 

waves over rocks never dissapoint
wonderful image!

 

That effort truly shows, Andy! I love both those photos but the first one is absolutely stunning to my eye. Thanks for sharing the efforts and results of your hobby. See, there are a few (very few) silver linings to be found in a lockdown.

 

Makes me think of Leighton Moss...

 

On your way to Fisherman's wharf for a clam chowder?

 

A few more SF shots - Coit Tower

 

Wasn’t he an overweight darts player in the late 70’s and 80’s
Oooops, Rees, it was Leighton Rees.

 

Err… not sure as I keep getting caught out. I thought I read 5mb somewhere

 

I aim for about 3mb and they usually come out between 2 and 4, never had a problem loading at that.

 

I’ll second that about your photos. Would you share a few details on the camera and post-production effort? I’d like to do some more photography next year and know, well, bugger all really.

 

Thanks for the camera suggestions. I’m just using my iPhone 11 Pro at the moment, which seems pretty good in general, but I’m tempted to step up to a proper unit. I’ll do some research later based on your post.

i took up an offer for Luminar AI recently as it offers a lot more than Apple Photo for editing. I’m not quite avid enough to justify the subscription cost of Lightroom, though it does seem quite ubiquitous. Call me old-fashioned but I find subscription models rather irking. I’ll need to be sure I’m getting enough value out of it to pay £120/year, every year.

 

PS Plus is an exception for me. I do have that and don’t mind because over the course of a year I’ll pick up a few games that justify the cost. My broadband is pretty average but from 2006 to 2020 I couldn’t get it at all where I live, so I’m not complaining.

Subscription models are ok in some circumstances but just paying to keep the lights on when it is, or could be, a standalone product gets my goat a bit. Adobe have always liked to wring their customer’s pockets, though they do make some high quality software.

My tip for passwords - get a copy of SafeInCloud. Syncs across devices and is free. Never lose your login details again!

 

I took this in Monument Valley years ago..
