It's That Time Of Year Again

No1 is lovely

Always reminds me of...

Eh?

I love the softness and delicacy of the the first one particularly Rob. And I agree with the comment about SPP, it is nowhere near as bad as I expected and is a perfectly capable converter.

I have to agree. I am warming to it in a way that has surprised me and I suppose the fact that it is the only way to see the RAW files has been a causal factor in my appreciation of the programme.

I have just discovered PhotoNinja (on trial) and have exported several TIFF's to it. 'Well impressed', as my three year old, going on forty, grandson would say.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Pat, I thought the Merrill was for your wife?!

Got an email from Clifton Cameras - my DP3M is in the post!

When one buys a gift for a loved (read feared) one it is always best to ensure that it functions correctly I think. I'm sure Pat is only being especially vigilant in this regard!

How true. I am that vigilant tester.

However, my beloved has coveted a Babylock overlocker ( a girly thing that converts expensive material into sewing scraps) for some time, and thanks to a particularly smooth operator, one David Drummond of The Haymarket Auld Reekie, she is now pre-occupied with triple stich wave thingymagibs.

The DP2 would have been gathering dust in her workroom so I have offered to keep it ticking over until such time as she gets bored with the sewing lark.

Kind or what?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very kind, Pat. She's lucky to have such a thoughtful, caring partner. BTW, Drummond's is weel-kent in this hoose!

If you think that this below the belt comment will elicit a modicum of jealousy then you really do not know me.

Sadly it does.

( I think I will give Ffordes a ring later to see if their back orders are in. Unlike some, I believe in supporting the Scottish photography industry)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, that was below the belt too! I've used Ffordes' a few times. I didn't know they were selling the Merrills at the lower price.

 

[Pat Reehal]

It is where my beloved purchased the DP2. Their PX prices were excellent and Clifton were not interested in taking in any more used stock.

So, gently humming Rhu Vaternish, I ordered from them and contributed to Wee Eck's next expenses paid for, cary oot.
