Well I now have a new computer capable of anything I throw at it... "hopefully" hahaa... Both myself and my mate =
lomoboy 
built one of these beasts each, complete with SSD's. so all's good...
Its been to long since I last updated my journal and I think a lot of it was down to over complicating things, so I've taken a leaf out of my mates book and I too have decided to keep it simple, the layout has changed a little, images are a bit smaller but all-in-all I think it looks better.
I'm looking forward to the Spring, April in particular when together with a good friend I should be going to Scotland and to be even more precise Fort William in the hope of capturing some breath-taking scenery and in the Summer in Cornwall getting out and about with my trustee Nikon 3Dx camera, hopefully doing some more good quality landscapes some of them with my good friend.. I also have a couple of weddings on the horizon and I'm really looking forward to them.. Oh yes!!

I will also be looking at how I process my images with the view of making some improvements, what I mean is... the software I use and the way I use it from Photoshop, Lightroom, Photomatix and Nik Silver Efex to name just a few, and lets be honest if you cant knockout a descent image with a software arsenal like that your never going to... so I need to tweak what it is I'm doing.
Life at the moment feels Good
