Hello and thanks for stopping by. Just a quick vid explaining why I haven’t made a video recently. Basically all my stuff died😢 So chuffed with my new toy though. Take care😀
Really pleased for you with your new equipment, the less time post means more time in the field and I can enjoy more of your videos. Personally I am totally computer illiterate which is why I haven’t bothered to buy a new camera. All these modern cameras with dozens of menus frighten the life out of me. My editing suite is stone age but it is all for personal use and I am happy so that is all that matters. Looking forward to seeing your forthcoming results.
Totally agree with you. All this new technology can be very intimidating. If you are happy with your camera and your process that is great and you can just focus on taking pictures which is all most of us want to do anyway. Take care🙏
That's real nice, Richard! I've been to this point using a couple 10+ year old computers and they have been crashing lately trying to run Lightroom. I know I'm going to have to upgrade if I want to run any AI denoise from any program.
Hi Blaine. Yes unfortunately old machines can’t really keep up with the latest AI software. I am amazed at how fast my new computer is. Had no idea what I was missing. Hope you are well. Take care😀🙏
Good choice. I am an Apple fan and currently have an iMac which is getting a bit creaky and needs to be replaced as it cannot cope with the new hungry AI. I shall be really interested to see how the new kit performs. Early congrats on your forthcoming milestone birthday!
Thanks very much. Have done some editing including topaz and dxo and it’s so fast. I am genuinely blown away. Makes me realize what I have been missing all these years. 😀🙏
Hey Richard are you still happy after a month of using your MacBook Pro? Does Lightroom/ Photoshop/Topaz works well? I do a little bit of editing on an IPad. I want to buy a Mackbook Pro as well. Can you give the specs of your computer like cpu/gpu? Thank you.. have a happy and healthy 2024👍😀
Hi Ron. Thank you and yes I am still so happy and blown away by my MacBook. I paid a bit extra to get 32 gbs of Ram and it has a 500 gb internal ssd. At the moment I am in Barcelona with my family and don’t have it with me so can’t check the cpu/gpu. When I get back in a few days I will check it and let you know. In terms of the old machine I was using the MacBook is in a completely different league everything is so much faster and easier. Thank you and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
@@RichardCookphotography Thank you so much Richard! Enjoy your stay in Barcelona! I do digiscoping but want to go the normal photographing way. Interesting buying micro 4/3. I know you have the 300 f4.0 have you ever considered the 150-400 lens? Did you shoot FF before going 4/3?

Glad to see you got your priorities right & nice early Crimbo present!
Cheers mate. Didn’t know you knew about the channel?

Oh nice…my 2019 imac is always acting when i edit my video, maybe because of the canon codec, congrats with your new toy
Thanks so much. I cannot believe I worked with such slow machines for so long. I didn’t know what was out there. Never again😀

You can create a very nice looking low cost studio by using AI. There are good instructions on RUclips :)
Thanks very much. I didn’t know that. Will check it out🙏
