Had a productive week this time. I set out to tick all my tasks every day, and I feel I accomplished that mostly on my days off, except on the weekend when I had other activities planned with the family. I know, still not an excuse, but hey, it's better than last week, and it takes smell steps for long-term achievements.

Back to Live Streaming

I am getting my groove back within and in particular with my project, .

I played about with for a day and setup all my scenes and did away with the external streaming box which was giving me the most issues, and just did it straight on the computer. More resource intensive, but for my needs, much more simplistic and manageable.

We did a and it went well. 13 watching at the same time, which is actually pretty good for our small community of players.

Photoshop to GIMP

With my mood coming back for being productive in our indie-game, and my move away from products in general and more into Free and Open Source Software ( ), I had to convert some Photoshop shop templates to work within GIMP.

I mostly got that working thankfully!

Melbourne Zoo

On the weekend, I was mostly busy with a full day at the zoo with the girls and practising more photography and post-processing in . Still a long way to go for me, but I am happy with the progress and my workflow!

Here’s a gallery of the photos I took this week:

And this is my favourite image of the day.

Featured Image
Golden Contrast - Beautiful butterfly sitting on a beautifully textured leaf and surrounds.

All in all, these photo’s were stunning to my eye and I enjoyed the process within DarkTable to bring these RAW images to life. The old may be going on 15 years old and is still a with mirror, and may not have the quality of the latest smart phones, but it was still great for what I managed to do with it, with the lens I am limited to using.

You can grab these photos for FREE, including in .TIF full quality format for print quality up to A3 I think from memory. And if you want to support my work, I do appreciate donations to the value you feel my work is worth to your eye - or even a monthly contribution.

I have 6 more days off work to go and plan on going on small walks and hikes by myself and with my mother.
