Thu 6th Nov10:00 am16 Winchester WayBring photos on the theme Autumn


2nd October

6 gathered today to display photos from the last few months.
Some were from the visit to Elford Hall, some from the visit to Donnington Park racetrack and some from holidays.
An attempt to display a short video, taken in portrait, but which the software displayed in landscape, failed. At first puzzling, as the originator (JD) had been able to display in portrait on his own PC.

Offline later he checked the procedure on his PC. It seems it needs an additional app to manage this, which was not resident on the displaying laptop. JD Used VLC Media, but other free apps are available,
Also offline, a discussion developed on the merits of the Olympus OM1 and the OMD E-M10.

We meet next on 6th November when the subject will be ‘Autumn’ So get out among the leaves and fungi and start snapping!
