Old Collingwood

Hi folks - remember me?   I just want to squash any rumours that I have been eaten alive by my keyboard or become too famous from producing music, to carry on building my Warspite,  nope Im still about just waiting for my mojo to come back from its holiday and inspire me to carry on with the ole lady.

OC.

The pro airbrush guys tend to use a two-handed technique to steady the hand holding the airbrush. In any event, it takes practice and muscle memory.

Im getting old - cant remember where I left my muscles

OC.

Sounds like a plan greg - one day I mite get an airbrush type thingy, till then I am resigned to using a hairy stick with a bit of watered down paint and blowing on it, guess that is my airbrush

OC.

Wonder if this painting by turner might help in relation to her Trafalger condition.

OC.

Looking Great my friend

OC.

I will be doing more work soon folks (promis)  its just that I have had a few distractions from my joke and gag writting,  getting a new camera set up and needing to test it out, then later getting an asignment to do some keyboard recording for a record to be produced later this year.

Its like having so many irons in one fire - enjoyable but busy.

OC.

So much detail at 200 scale  I was so thinking of getting Hood in that scale for my 100th  - when I finish my ole lady :D

OC.

"Its looking realy good exciting like a book - amazing what all that work took"    there you go I sang it while playing along on my keyboard

OC.

What i intend to do is - make my  ole girl with one hand while taking pics outside with the other - while recording onto my tascam from my keyboard with the other two hands

OC.

Looking good my friend

OC.

Hi folks just saying hi Im still around just showing another reason for my distractions of late - I write music and here is another of my new toys to play with

OC.

Dont know about the Amazing work you have done - but I can read how old you are by your rings

OC.

I'm back on the shipyard!

 

Things slowed down early december and I've done nothing at all the last 2 weeks, but now it's January and I have the time, peace of mind and energy needed to work on my build again.

 

Where was I? Ah! yep....the mast!

 

Here I go again!....more soon!

 

Robin

Keep going you can do it - we will all join you for a slipway lauching party :)

OC.

Helps if the paint (acrylic) is watered down to thin milk consistancy I understand.

OC.

We have a nice little family building here,  Im still here just been a bit  disstracted by my little camera and intermitent spells of blue sky and aerolplanes flying over at 30.000 feet and setting the challenge to myself of catching a photo of the pilot waving at me

OC.

Nice Christmas pressie OC; you'll have plenty of fun with that

 

Have a great Christmas and best wishes for a great New Year

Hi OC and Cog

Denis.

Absolutley no problem at all - have replied to your PM

OC.

Hello OC

This is all your fault Collingwood !! posting a photo of your dam flashy ( get it ) camera !!!!! You have now got your camera club!!!!!!. LOL. How is the Warspite coming along?? DAVID

Hello David sincere warm greetings to you hope you have a loverly christmas,

Its all your fault - after seeing the Fabulous Warspite from up north, you got me hooked and obsessed with the ole girl

All my inspiration is from that Amazing pice of artistry going on with her, just hope I can in any small way pay tribute to her

Kind regards

OC

OC,

 

If Denis can start the transfer, and it stops, it might be the software (it often is)

 

 

Dennis,

 

I have an EOS 400D, which I attach by means of the cable. However, I do not use the canon software to get the pictures from the camera to the PC. You can open explorer (press the windows key + e ) and you will see your camera attached as another disk. Browse to the map with the pictures and you can drag them to whatever place you want on your PC (Probably "Pictures" in the exporer window.

 

Cheers

 

(Sorry to high jack your log OC, back to you)

Its OK mate  all to help If we can

OC.

Hi OC

 

Nice camera.

 

I have just purchased a new one myself, Canon 7D Mark ii with a EF 100mm f2.8 L  Macro IS USM lens.

The only thing is cannot download the photos to my computer, it will start but then it stops about half way through, and that is using the Canon software that came with it..

The comp has 8gb ram and still got 680gb space left on the hard drive.

 

Denis.

Could be your card or reader - is your card connected directly in a slot in the comp or via an external card reader, take either/both out and check condition of the contacts(brass shiiny sections where you plug in)  make sure they are clean - if not give them a clean with a cloth, then either try re loading or re try with new shots in the camera after cleaning the memory card.

Might work give it a go.

OC.

no excuses now..........I'm sure that silencer is removable       we expect A+ pictures from you for now on    very happy for you!

I only have the one telescope i meen lens for it, so im affraid we will have to do with my cam phone pics.

OC.

I cant see a problem there from the photo  to be honest it looks realy nice and as it should look, but guess you are same as me an don close inspection we want better and worry its not good enough.

OC.

Looks really nice, but I know next to nothing about cameras. 

Looks like quite a lens on it.

Yep  300mm  quite average size these days but the camera helps having 24mp.

OC.

NICE, OC!!! Got a tripod with it? You will be hard pressed to keep that from shaking .... Whats the zoom?

 

Cheers

Its a Fixed length prime lens  300mm  f4   none Vibration Reduction  but fine if used with a shutter count over 1/500sec  hand held.
