Mike,

Thanks so much for all this background. I am one of those untold millions who use the bits of LR that I want, without really knowing what goes on under the hood!

 

I looked at "Large Caption" (now that you have told me about it!), but it isn't necessary, as the single line caption field automatically expands if you add new lines. This makes it all the odder that the "newline" function doesn't transfer to grid view, and makes me think it's a bug.

I'm reluctant to dive down the search-and-replace rabbit hole just yet (esp at my level of computer skills!), so I will report it as a bug and bide my time for now.

 

Many thanks once again,

Geoff

Did you try selecting none instead of captions a second time under expanded cell extras?

 

Yeah. That's how I had it in the first instance. You can have the first line anywhere you like (top left, top R, bottom L bottom R), just can't have both lines!!

Thanks for thinking about it. :)

But, do a similar thing in Loupe Mode...

 

... and BOTH lines of the Caption appear!

 

Interesting, and inconsistent(!) but still not where I want to be!

 

I know that going forward I could get all the information in one place by entering it in a single line (i.e. without a Control-Enter) but that doesn't help for all the thousands of images that I have done the old way!

Thanks. I've played around with the View Options a lot, and haven't got back to where I was pre-LR11.

 

Interestingly, If I set up Grid View like this, with TWO "Caption" options selected in Expanded Cell Extras...

 

 

... I get this - with the FIRST caption line repeated:

For years, I've been set up in Library module, Grid view, with Caption in Expanded Cell Extras (snip 1).

 

In Metadata > Caption, I have long used two lines (control-shift) like in snip 2.

 

Prior to LR11, the grid view has shown both lines (although a bit run together) as in snip 3.

 

After the LR11 upgrade, however, the grid view only shows the first line of the caption (snip 4).

 

 

Is there any way I can get LR11 to show all the caption information in grid view, like it did before?

Many thanks,

Geoff

Not sure if this is a Canon issue or a LR problem, but here is a good place to start!

 

MP4 movie files imported into LR6 show a different shooting time in LR then they do on the camera. For example I shot a movie this morning at 0830. The on-camera info display shows 21/1/2020 at 0830. After importing into LR the movie appears in the folder for the previous day, because the logged time of shooting is 9.5 hours earlier - the movie claims it was shot at 2300 on 20/1/2020. This doesn't happen with the still images shot around the same time, which have consistent time and date stamping between camera and LR.

Of course, I can adjust this in LR, but I'd rather not have to!

 

Anybody come across this before? Many thanks!

My first SLR was a Practika LTL, with match needle TTL metering. I still have it, and it still works. It has a tendency every 100 frames or so to not quite wind on properly, so that two frames overlap. The other issue I have had is a slightly sticky lens diaphragm, so that using a fast shutter speed causes overexposure, as the diaphragm can't quite keep up with the stop-down mechanism. I quite like the earthquake ker-thunk it makes when the shutter goes off!

I don't think anyone has actually addressed Lynn's question: Will LR Classic run any faster on her laptop than the standalone LR6 that she has already?

I don't know the answer, but I can't see why it should. Isn't it just (almost) the same program, rented forever instead of paid for once? If LR Classic will run faster on my desktop than my LR6 then I might consider the jump to a subscription, but I'm sceptical! I've certainly never heard anyone say that that's the case, and you'd think that if it was, they would!!

 

Also, what about losing presets etc when upgrading? I know LR has lost my presets and keywords from time to time.

David, were you able to recover all your images from the card? I used Recuva and Rescue Pro on four of my cards (after my laptop and backup drive were both stolen), and managed to get most images back. Between 2 and 5 percent of images on each card were corrupted, though, and I couldn't get those back.

I know I'm a bit late coming to this, but I use a 24-105/4 Mk 1 as my "standard" lens on a crop body (80D).

When travelling, I like to pick out details, and I find the extra reach of the 24-105 is great for that, and I don't have to carry the extra weight of a medium tele.

If I want to do a "dirty" wide angle, I often fire off a a few shots in a sweep, and merge them into a pano in LR.

For the real WA, I nearly always carry a 10-22, which is small, light, fits in a pocket, and goes all the way down to 10mm.

For me, the combo of 10-22 + 24-105 works better than say, 15-85 + 70-200 would.

<p>Hi Laura,</p>

<p>As the perpetrator of the original wombat poo shot (http://www.photo.net/photo/17897089) I thought I would just say that I am still around admiring everyone's work from time-to-time, and dreaming of when I will have more time myself to "get back into it"!</p>

<p>Cheers,<br>

Geoff</p>

<p>Just by way of comparison, here in Australia winter is often the best time to get out and photograph. The golden light seems to last much of the day, and sunrise and sunset occur at civilised hours. A jacket, beanie, and light gloves are the most you need, and I have often been out on a sunny winter day in short sleeves.<br>

In summer, OTOH, the light is viciously contrasty most of the day and the golden"hour" seems to last 10 minutes. Not to mention sunscreen and sweat all over my camera!</p>

<p>I know it's not what you're looking for, Doug, but I built one for my small Canon flash using a fresnel magnifying screen, some bits of odd plastic, and some velcro! I don't know if it works as well as a commercial model, but it does work!</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing some great images, Ron. I imagine that tourism on Skellig Michael is about to take off big time. (Whoever heard of Matamata before LOTR!)</p>

<p>I have a similar set up, and would never go anywhere without the 10-22. It is a great lens that has given me some of my favourite shots, but is small and light enough to go into a coat pocket.</p>

<p>I have the smaller version of your tripod (190) and have used it often in the situation you describe. A couple of small things that can help: Make sure the centre post protrudes half way between two of the legs. That can often mean that the legs can straddle the subject and the camera can get in closer. Also, spreading the leg opposite the centre post a bit wider than the other two can help push the centre of balance back to the middle and make the rig a bit more stable. After that, a weight sitting over the back leg, as suggested, will help.</p>

<p>Thanks Edwin. Your shot of the bioluminescence is a beautiful abstract. I assume it was taken hand held? (And I hope it was shot <em>from</em> a kayak, unless you were sinking at the time :-) )</p>

<p>I've always liked the backpacks with a separate compartment for general gear. I used a Lowepro Orion Trekker until it fell apart a couple of years ago, then replaced it with a Lowepro Hatchback 22l. The bottom compartment holds DSLR, 24-105, 10-22, filters, battery, cards, etc, and the top compartment is for raincoat, lunch etc. I find this a good setup for general travelling. If I am out for serious photography, I put a Crumpler Haven in the top compartment and I can carry telezoom, macro, flash, etc, as well.</p>

<p>It seems quite well made, and the bag itself is very light. I wish it had a more substantial waist strap, though.</p>

<p>No image from me this time around, but I just have to applaud Shun's magnificent Egret image, one of the best I have ever seen. Superb.</p>

<p>Mine is 2008 build. At 400mm handheld focussing about 15m away, I can see a clear and effective stabilisation of the image when the IS starts. When the IS switches off, the image starts to jiggle around again. Of course, how much stabilisation you will see depends upon how steady your own hands are - maybe I'm a bit shaky!</p>

<p>Of course, Andrew could always follow the advice of our illustrious PM, who says " ... it is better to ask forgiveness than permission."<br>

With a precedent like that to rely on, how could he go wrong! (Mind you, based on his advisor, Peta Credlin's, reaction the other day, neither of them knows much about photography!)</p>

It supports Maris's definition of commercial use, which is highly relevant to the topic.</p>

<p>You have such pretty fungi in your area, Laura. Small is indeed beautiful.</p>

<p>This is the flower of a very aggressive winter weed which grows from a rhizome and is proving impossible to eradicate from my garden. I'd like to know what it's called, but even more how to control it!</p><div></div>
