I have not done much with the camera this last week or two as I seem to have been busy helping out at the Welfare for the blind society.
I installed a Braille embossing machine and linked it to their laptop.
The Rotary Club had donated a large amount of money towards it so they came to the unveiling ceremony where I demonstrated it.

No.1 The unveiling.
No.2. We took a group of visually impaired people the the Sight Village Roadshow which was held in a hotel at Manchester.
No.3 Sign outside.
No.4 & 5 View from the outside terrace.
No.6 Top of a bus.
No.7 I had a walk out later and took this.
No.8 & 9 River Irwell, much cleaner than last time I was in Manchester centre, which was 1968, yes sixty eight.

If anybody needs to send a letter or document written in Braille to a visually impaired person then call in to the shop on Bank street and it will be done for you. That's what it was bought for.

Today in Pictures, Mercer Park in under an hour, going down "Accy"

1. The entrance close to the church.
2. A line of Lime trees along Grange Street.
3. Centre of the park looking back to the way we came in.
4. The sensory garden.
5. Another view to the war memorial.
6. An ugly fungi.
7. Mercer House.
8. I'm on the ground again.
9. I'm still there, Puff Balls.
10. All the way round and back to the way we came in.

Today I took the Canon Rebel down to the ponds and river at the back of my house. I almost never go there, which is silly because I'm so close. But you see, Accy Web is inspiring me to get out there, get my feet and even my socks wet. (Yes, davemac, I got down on all fours for the droplets!)

When I got home, I was so disappointed with my photos (thank goodness for large memory cards), and realized I really do have to read that darned manual. I hope the tiny perfect mushroom will be there again tomorrow! I must give that another try. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...es/redface.gif

Lovely skies....
The leaves are starting to change, I see. It's a bit slower in my part of the world this year. We need more cool nights.

Good to see your photos, Gremlin. :)

Glad the inspiration is coming from the site, I hope you will find places that are new to you and to see the things you know in a different way. All fours and wet socks is a good sign, keep it up.

We walked from Glasson Dock to Galgate and back today on the canal bank. I have installed adobe lightroom 5 on my pc and I am trying to get used to the photo editing with it.

Just recently I too have started using light room 5, one really handy feature I like is the gps tagging of photos, even if your camera doesn't support it you can put an app on your smartphone and export the file and Light room will tag your photos with the Gps location, and it shows you exactly where you took them clever stuff

It will take me a while to get used to it.My son uses lightroom all the time and I am hoping he will show me how to use it correctly
