I continue to go through our photos, weeding out the cruft. There are now only 101 photos in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens set<\/a>, having removed 59 which were … well, crummy, or redundant, or blurry, etc. I’m finding about 1\/4 to 1\/3 of them are simply not all that great. I have a period I call my Orange Period, as I didn’t know about white balance & every bloody thing in Scotland is lit by mercury vapor lamps. I have a period where I really must have had my monitor set to insane brightness, as those photos are pretty uniformly dark (and not awesome, so no point in reviving them from raw).<\/p>\n

I’ve just bought a gimbal for the camera, as I’m tasked with taking some video of the choir, outside. Hopefully this will mean some improvement in still pictures, as well. I’m not sure it’s going to be better than the optical stabilization in the lenses, but I’m pretty sure they’ll complement each other nicely.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the weekend!<\/p>\n
