Te Kō Utu Park Cambridge Domain Waikato New Zealand

Te Kō Utu Park Cambridge Domain Waikato New Zealand

On a mission of sorts. Half time. Have been cross posting during June. This will continue during July. Comparing the mechanics and usefulness of web platforms used, or ignored, over the past decade or so. ello.co far and away the easier and most elegant posting experience of all; vies with Behance as a digital creatives market space. Dropbox for file naming, transfer, storage & cloud backup. Facebook & Google+, Instagram and this; long overdue (18 months and counting), Google Keep for notes, composition & transfer between devices. opuahau.nz (fun & easy to maintain once you know the ropes) built on Adobe Portfolio; comes with Creative Cloud Photography plan. Pinterest (more soon) & Pocket (URL collecting), RocketSpark (Cambridge’s own), keywords (compiled in Google Sheets) and distributed, LinkedIn, Neighbourly (Leamington NZ & etc ..) Tumblr, Twitter, Zenfolio & Blurb, the list goes on ..

Mucking about with Lightroom CC

Images made over the past few weeks with the Samsung Galaxy S8. Edited on the phone with Lightroom CC; a tad paint by numbers but fun. Just a pity I can’t get Windows 10 to recognise the desktop version*. Much looking and cache clearing etc but no luck yet. As I am wont to comment whenever surveyed by Adobe ‘great tools just a pity having to navigate the gatekeepers and the ‘troubleshooting’ threads to solve a problem’. Others share the issue but no solution to be found as yet. I shall just wait. The Creative Cloud Photography plan apps have all been updated in recent days.

*update: late May Adobe support sorted this issue, thanks heaps!!

Whenuakite, Coromandel Peninsula, Te Ika-a-Māui, New Zealand


Delightful stress free, family day trip, north across the Hauraki Plains and into the Coromandel Peninsula. A most excellent lunch & company and a good look around. A big day but we managed. Special mentions; Turua Bus Stop & Tastebud Cafe Thames.
