I’ve decided to go back to basics with my cornet practice. I’ve developed some bad habits over the years and use far too much pressure when playing. This affects my upper range and stamina and buggers up any lofty aims I may have of sounding like Wynton Marsalis.
While my natural talent falls way short of Wynton I am determined to use all this free time I’ve suddenly found myself with to have a go at improving my embouchure. These lip flexibility exercises should help, if I can keep it going.
Band is cancelled for the next few weeks (and months?) so this is a good time to do this. Let’s hope it works

Figured I would take an old picture and practice some more things. I'm a little iffy on this one, but I'll get there one day.

This is the practice ground set up for the competitors at Lord's cricket ground during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
It was set up parallel to the actual shooting field so that the conditions would be as similar as possible to the actual competition.

Woke up this morning for my once a week workout, but was still just a tad sick, so I didn't go.
Instead, I took Ayu out for some bokeh practice.
I always shoot RAW and up until now I always shot with Nokon gear only. Hence I have only used Niks excellent (its a love or hate type of software) Capture NX to process my RAW files. Recently I bought a Fuji X100 so with that I needed to search out a RAW processing program for it. Natural choice was Adobe Lightroom. New version just out, many revisions and also hugely popular.
I installed the demo version and went ahead and learnt how to use it. While it had many features that I would never use, the main thing of converting RAW files worked well and I achieved good results without too much effort. Lightroom though was very slow on my not so new but not so old system. But I could live with it.
I looked at the pricing and in Australia its sold for $187 ex GST (ie download version). In USA its $149. Being an Aussie I get charged 25% over the USA price. Not cool. I tried a quick method to fudge it and "pretend" I am American but that failed. I know I can setup proxies, mail addresses to get around this but I didn't feel like going to these lengths just to buy a product.
In the end I gave up on Lightroom and tried different RAW processors. None really caught my eye too much, plus they were quite expensive. It wasn't until late last week I came across Corel After Shot Pro. Based on the old Bible Pro, I decided to give it a go. Impressive, very impressive. Not as polished as Lightroom, but also not as bloated, and much, much faster. The best bit is that I pay same price whether I am in Sydney, San Francisco or Hong Kong. And the better bit is that the price of $53 USD (using coupon code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off ) is about $80 cheaper than the Adobe stuff.
Fail Adobe. And I hope this enquiry will result in some changes. Some Adobe execs need to realise that if you buy a coffee in Sydney they will be charged the same price as the Aussie dude standing next to them or the Chinese woman sitting reading the paper sipping her coffee...
There were a couple of young men practicing ball handling for soccer at the beach. Here, this guy is working on his headers. They were all quite skilled!
Ian's daily handwriting practice had already made a huge difference. We make a habit of doing the work at his desk (we used to do it all at the kitchen table). This seems to help with concentration and focus, and he's able to finish more quickly.

Holland's birthday party is this Sunday. I have been making practice cakes, and Holland has been tasting them for me. This one was dark chocolate. Yum!

I used to do product shooting as my day-job years ago at this medical company. Quit, got burned out, never bothered again. Thought to give it a shot again, but with something more fun, like sneakers. These went for Instagram. 3/3
Jimbo decided I needed more action shots, so he practiced throwing the ball directly at my camera. Luckily I escaped unharmed, though I failed to get any cool mid-air shots. Renegades rugby practice, Stead Park, Washington, DC.
