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

Thousands of our photos and videos are in our photos & videos section.

If you’d rather a quick dip, and bigger pictures, then look in our gallery.

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.  Every single version has “issues”.  The Studio forums are a great source of help and support in times of need.  He’s contemplating either an upgrade to Studio v12 or a switch to Adobe Premiere Elements.
