if i recall it you were quite good at poetry too??
Hi Rachel, sorry didn’t see you had joined us, so nice to see you posting again. If I remember you were expert in digital image colouring .am I correct or has my memory gone?
I still do take photos but gone more into doing videos, or at least getting back into doing them now I have a new camcorder, my old one eventually wore out and too expensive to repair
Hi realspeed
Thank you for the mention 
Yes I used to do a lot of photo restores but eventually lost interest, although I do the occasional restore, if pressurised. The main problem is that I’ve forgotten so much technical ‘stuff’ that it’s a painfully slow process.
Never had a camcorder but I do take the occasional quick video with my iPad … lol … it works OK.
strange how easy things were not doing for a time now is difficult. This new professional camcorder took me so long to understand (about 9 hours) to even get to grips with it. Going back to the Nikon D810 camera I had to rethink about the settings again first.
If you missed the story my old Panasonic camcorder I had for about 10 years eventually basically needed a lot done to it, too repair cost not worth it. So I P/X for a Sony AX 53 version but the camcorder did everything very little manual adjustment. So I sold it and and went back to Panasonic and now have the HC-X1500 and the handle which was extra.
Don’t use the Nikon so much now as I find a Panasonic DC-TZ95 compact camera handy to have and also does 4K recording.
So that is bringing you up to date so to speak.
Arrrgh!
Thank you for that 
my mind is now completely boggled! lol
These days, I rarely use a camera.
I sold my late husband’s expensive Nikon, which was far too complicated for me and I find the iPad is good enough for the occasional snap/video (don’t scream) and is always with me. I can email any pics to myself, to fiddle with in photoshop when necessary.
The camera I use is a bit old now … a Canon G7.
Works nicely and the ‘macro’ setting is good. I used it to photograph the hall marks on some second hand jewellery we bought and was delighted to discover that one ring was assayed in Chester in 1897 and not ‘about 1925’ as the dealer said! … happy me. Even using a loupe, it can be difficult to decipher the marks if they’re worn.
