Known unto God

I spend so much time in France these days, which is one of my long term photography projects, I was stopped in my tracks by this grave stone. "Know unto God". The time I spent within this cemetery, gave me hours of time to be thoughtful of those life's lost and my past.

Lightroom Mobile / Adobe Cloud Storage - 121GB for FREE

I wanted to give something back to the LightroomForums.net as the majority of my interaction has been taking from the community.

I’m an FULL Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, so I’m not sure if this applies to Adobe CC for Photographers.

I’m using Lightroom Mobile more and more, mainly non develop modular work, reviewing, flags, comments, meta data etc.

I have always been of the understanding that the FREE account comes with 2GB of cloud storage and the paid version 20GB.

Within my post work flow, I have always wished to deliver image from Lightroom, i.e. clients click on a Download button, if I enable this function.

Well I had a web chat, yesterday Friday 29^th November 2014 with Adobe regarding Lightroom Mobile and I asked how much storage do I have; the reply was 20GB. I then asked can this be increased, explaining to the support operator, I export to a 1TD Dropbox account to deliver images to clients.

After several questions back and forward, their reply shocked me !!!

• Adobe offered me 121GB of FREE to upgrade cloud storage.

However this will be a paid service in the future, which users will need to remove files above 20GB or pay for the additional hosting space.

There was no time period expressed for the FREE upgrade, but it means I can upload thousands of images to the cloud and download these smart preview, collection at a time, limited only by my iPad storage (perhaps bandwidth for you too) to review and sync back to my desktop catalogue.

So now I get more family time, I can still sit in front of the TV when programs like Strictly Come Dancing is on, the kids can watch and I can work without leaving the room and watch this rubbish on TV….. LOL.

You may like to see if you can increase your cloud space if you need more room.

Good Luck Mark

FStoppers Point of View on the Nikon Df

When the Nikon Df was announced, I loved it, a true D-SLR just for photography, it looked cool, specification look great and I really wanted one.

Now its been around for a few months, I still love it, but to me GEAR is just a tool to capture great images and the Df is more a camera that could be said is more of a fashion statement or a camera that brings back old film memories?

FStoppers, have creatived this interesting video which some what hits the mark?

Scott Kelby's switch from Nikon to Canon

I am a fan of Kelby and I believe him totally, but the fact of sponsorship by Canon must have been in their minds.

Anyway, we have to get past GEAR, photography is all about the image and the story within this image !!!

When someone buys a lovely image, they are putting their money where their mouth is and don't really care if it was taken by a Nikon or Canon, other camera brands available too, do you get my point?
