It’s causing much scratching of heads in the competition and exhibition circuit I can tell you. Problem is that Photoshop and some other programs are automatically incorporating it’s technology and capabilities into many of their retouching tools because they are convenient for professionals...

Just stumbled on this old thread. These days the conversation has moved onto Ai which is being used to “enhance” many images or even create totally “fake” images as well. At least it has deflated the “Is that Photoshopped” issue a bit…

Isn't it just…

As Toddy says, the re-enactors markets ( TORM and ARM ) are a good source where you can get your hands on and feel the quality for yourself. Usually held in early spring and late autumn near Coventry.

Apart from food and drink I think my only “tradition” is three afternoons chilling out in front of the tv with an extended Lord of the Rings marathon.

That has happened to some of my threads unfortunately. I always hosted pictures on my own web sites but as the servers have been updated so have some of the URLs which breaks the links. I used to try and keep them all up to date but when the sites changed from HTTP to SHTTP it broke all the...

I am quite fond of my Fenix CL09. I had a smaller CL05 which ran off a AAA battery but the CL09 comes with a USB rechargeable cell and has become a firm favourite now. Nine times out of ten the moonlight mode is plenty but the red and green modes are useful as well.

Uco used to make a great little lantern called the Micro which folded up with three tealights in it. One in the top, two stored in the bottom. I bought one off Mad Dave in a BushMoot bring and buy one year and it goes everywhere with me now.

And today we have to tell people not to drink bleach.

Do you remember the old “night lights” that came in a cardboard cup… What could possibly go wrong ???

Folding candle lanterns are great if you can get them. From left to right: French, Stonebridge ( Reproduction ) and Swiss.
