Gallery

Andrew is a shutterbug. He was born with a camera strung around his neck, and a videocamera in his hand.

At one time, this website had thousands of the photos. But, alas, the software that displayed them got riddled with security holes and after a while I got fed up with the constant laborious update procedure. However, in June 2009, a new piece of (beta) software called Gallery3 became available – and now the re-upload has begun!

Have a look at our photos and videos in the gallery.

If you are looking for the licenses to some of the shoots that I’ve done, then you’ll find them in the licenses page.

I’m also trying to learn about the UK law as it relates to photography and videography. I’m noting what I find in the photo legalities page.

Photography

Hints, Tips and Moans

The Pinnacle Studio editor (“Studio”), now owned by Avid, has been Andrew’s mainstay editor since version 1, back in 1999! He’s upgraded to v7 and then v10, and just recently to V12. Every single version has had “issues”; The Studio forums are a great source of help and support in times of need.

Tutorials and Tips:

• Declic Video ~ has free downloads of Hollywood effects (HFX) transitions

V10 tips:

• Why to stick with Studio v10.7 on WinXP (and not use 10.8)
• How to work-around a crash when .stx file is corrupted [load it into 10.8]
