hello YouTubers well I've put myself
level with the camera on the top of my
screen seems to be what everybody does
um uh personally I don't like it um you
don't stuff yourself in the face of the
person you're talking to in real life so
just excuse me I'm going back to my oh
my other position here and um oh there
I've disappeared right so how's that uh
mustn't put myself in the middle of the
picture that's not good composition so
how's that well anyway um I've just said
hi because I don't really have anything
to tell you but um uh it's part of my
life that I chat to you like I chat to
my friends on the telephone so uh hi um
I did have something I was going to um I
was going to do this week I was going to
do an instructional video would you
believe um but it didn't work um well it
didn't work to my satisfaction shall I
say um my son last year yes it was last
year he with some friends climbed killer
mangaro um volcano or mountain in Africa
which is uh quite some achievement and
of course he brought back nice pictures
and I I've been working on a uh a
picture uh as a present for him uh to
print out in A3 format um and so I've
been working on it in Photoshop and I
was going to do an instructional video
on the use of the curves palette the
wonderful things you can do in there and
u a tool that I use quite a lot called
Dodge and burn but um when you film The
Screen um with another camera everything
comes out so small that unless people
know the program you're using uh you
can't see where one clicks onto the um
onto the menu bar to do things and uh
that wasn't really um I didn't think it
was good enough um I'll work on it again
I mean maybe I could alter the
resolution of my
screen um maybe I could download some um
screen capture software but um so anyway
uh it's interesting for me and and I'm
producing something quite good which I
hope he will like but um um not much of
interest to show to you uh so um what
have I been doing well I I I've done
something quite um quite nice really
because I've been stuck in my house all
through this miserable winter and the
sun's been shining lately so last week I
was um I was away in London for 3 days
which was good to get back into the the
public again and to get out of the house
um it was a very tiring thing but it was
very very nice and one of the nice
things about it was that I was driven
home by in a Porsche well I'm not much
into cars really uh they're just Wheels
as far as I'm concerned I I I'm a biker
so that's my scene but um this was a
most beautiful car uh not a new one uh I
don't know what year it was uh for those
of who know anything about Porsches it
had popup headlights so that might tell
you what vintage it was but I could
imagine driving that to be absolutely
wonderful because it was obvious that it
just hugs you everything on the steering
wheel comes to hand a delightful little
gear stick which just falls under your
hand and of course masses of masses of
power which uh well of course you can't
use these days as far as speed goes but
it's very nice to have that acceleration
to take advantage of gaps in the traffic
and um so that was uh one of the
highlights of my um my little holiday
and um how long have we gone on for
where do I find that oh oh yes must must
go uh far too long so lovely catching up
with you I'll have something more
interesting to tell you again next week
I hope until then goodbye
