Alternatively, you can use the left arrow to scroll the other way. We initially depressed ourselves by thinking we'd have to open, close and reopen countless images, but once you've chosen the image, that folder remains open to the program and you can either go to File and click on next image or use the shortcut Control+Right (arrow) to move to the next image. Opening just one image means that the program operates at it's optimum speed. You can only open one image at a time, which at first seems a bit odd, but is in fact an act of genius. So if you also have it on a desktop unit and you're wanting to play around with older files, you have to have them in some semblence of order or you will struggle to find them. However, Fast RawViewer allows you to download the program to two machines. Now this isn't too big of a deal if you're working on a laptop and using images from a shoot just moments ago. The pop up screen that opens the folders for you to locate your work doesn't preview the raw files, they remain as icons (CR2 in our case as the images were from a Canon) which means you're choosing blindly.

They felt like they had a deeper connection after yesterday in the closet. It was the next day, and Tim and Moby were filming a video in the studio. “Ok I’m sorry.” Moby looked down at his feet. “Moby for the love of god please do not turn this into an mpreg fanfic I will actually fucking kill you.” Tim fell onto his knees, flushed, sweaty, and panting. AA.” Moby beeped, smacking his head on the mop next to him but it didn’t hurt because he’s a robot. “I-I’m about to…” Tim’s fucking ginormous cock gushedviscous semen into Moby’s robo-ass-fleshlight. “Anything for you, butter butt.” Tim smiled, sweat trickling down his forehead. “Are you sure you’re not pushing yourself?” Moby asked. It’s just too girthy!!!!!!!!!! Tim thrusted even harder. His girthy 237 inch pulsating cock was too much to bear. “Wow, you really couldn’t even last a minute with the sensors on, could you?“ Tim smirked gayly. He took a deep breath and started thrusting to Cbat by Hudson Mohawke, which was playing from Moby’s speakers or something. Moby’s ass transformed into a fleshlight. It was now much more comfortable for Tim. Moby smiled as he placed his hand back onto Tim’s crotch. Moby realized he was uncomfortable and turned on his hand heating thing idfk. Tim squirmed, Moby’s steel hands were extremely cold on his dick. “Moby, I need you so much right now.” Tim whispered. ![]() He unzipped his pants to reveal his hard cock.

That didn’t help the situation, it was just more awkward now. “So, uh… what do you think about those comments, Tim?” Moby beeped.

On the cusp of the old and the new, the early Southern Californians lived next to movie stars who were building homes nearby - and portraying them in Old West movies. Homesteaders who were given free land lived “incredibly harsh lives” in the mountains, he says. It’s also a place to think about the history of the place. ![]() Roads, subdivisions and golf courses are seen as the trail presses east, a reminder of how close you are to the urban edge. Once you cross Yerba Buena Road, you start to observe signs of civilization, Waycott says, at odds with the pristine habitat you just walked through. Here it’s all about savoring the views, crossing the south side of Triunfo Peak and looking at the ocean. This newer segment makes the 10 miles almost easy walking. Much of the route combines old ranch roads and animal trails that weren’t constructed with modern-day hikers in mind. This long, gradual section passes through the most recently constructed part of the Backbone Trail. One-way distance: 10.2 miles, 2,780 feet of gain/loss moderate The segment climbs 1,000 feet and then heads downhill 3,000 feet, ending in wooded Blue Canyon before arriving at Danielson Ranch, the same end point as hike No. Here too begins the Mediterranean habitat shaped by hot summers and mild, wet winters, one of five discrete places on the planet where forest, woodland, savanna and scrub-plant communities thrive. This part of the trail takes you through the only wilderness area in the SMMNRA. “You’re in the spirit of the hike now, right?” he usually tells his hikers. A nearby picnic spot in an oak grove is a good place to take a break. Walk west to east through the rock to cleanse yourself of demons, Waycott suggests. Two landmarks along the trail: Balancing Rock, which lives up to its name, and Chamberlin Rock, also known as Split Rock because you can walk inside its walls. Waycott likens the rocky landscape to sculptures worthy of an art gallery. Yep, volcanoes erupted millions of years ago and left much of what you see on this route. Spoiler alert: The peak isn’t made of sandstone but rather volcanic igneous rock. The Mishe Mokwa takes you to Sandstone Peak at 3,111 feet. This is one of the most dramatic parts of the Backbone Trail, placing you at the highest point in the mountain range with views in all directions. One-way distance: 8.3 miles, 4,500 feet of gain/loss strenuous After three miles, you approach the Overlook Fire Road at the top, where you’re about as far from the hum of the city as you can get. Look for sagebrush, buckwheat, ceanothus, monkey flowers and coastal sage scrub, the only place on the Backbone Trail where these plants thrive. The higher you get the more you see - first the Channel Islands and then, inland, jagged Boney Ridge. “Exactly where you are standing, Indigenous people have been living for tens of thousands of years,” Waycott tells hikers. The native Californians traded food and tools with others, used shell beads as currency, and often paddled to the Channel Islands. It rises from Pacific Coast Highway and climbs gradually above the coast and into the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains where Chumash villages once stood.

Laser light source projectors – typically combined with a three-LCD image engine – deliver the best contrast and brightness but cost anywhere upwards of £2000 and often significantly more.

Some people are less sensitive to this than others, though, so if you haven’t experienced a DLP projector, make sure you get a demo before spending your money. ![]() As most display colours sequentially use a spinning, segmented colour wheel (there’s the odd exception to this rule), they suffer from what’s called the “rainbow effect”, where small areas of the image appear to splinter into small rainbows when you shift your gaze from one side of the screen to the other.

They’re not true 4K machines, relying on pixel shift upscaling to deliver an approximation of 4K resolutions, but you have to look very closely to tell the difference. “4K-enhanced” projectors such as the BenQ W2700 or Optoma UHD38 are the “cheapest” way to get your 4K thrills – for less than £1,500 – and they’re improving all the time. True 4K projectors are becoming more widespread but projector tech is lagging behind TVs and even the more affordable options come in at north of £4,000. Data projectors tend to be cheaper, but typically have resolutions of 800 x 600 or 1,024 x 768, which won’t display Blu-ray movie content at native resolution. If you’re looking to buy a projector for watching movies, make sure you’re buying a Full HD projector (with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080).
