First overseas trip with my girlfriend – Any tips to make It our best trip?
  • This is what has worked for me but only really applies if you're a certain kind of couple. Also kinda depends on how long you're going for and which country/countries you're visiting... Personally I think it's easy to over plan and we both hate working to strict itineraries. Strip you plan back to bare bones, book any internal travel and a few hotels along the way but don't book all your accommodation, so you can be flexible. Talk to locals and other travellers to get tips on what's on and general local knowledge. Do your research so you have a priority list of things you'd like to do/see. Pin all this on Google maps. Make it an adventure rather than a sanitised trawl through tourist spots.

  • Arguably anything man-made makes a view worse, but as far as man-made structures go they're beautiful. And they give you a free wind gauge just by looking out the window. I'd rather see thousands of turbines on the horizon vs the glow of oil fields or plumes of smoke/steam.

  • Volumetric video for sports is interesting because it offers VR users the option to 'be there', but the provider can also offer desktop/mobile users the option to control their own virtual camera. I can kinda see it taking off in a few years when more cheaper/lighter headsets with good passthrough arrive.

  • The main issue was plugins and external programs compatability. There are some really obscure plugins for advanced work in Indesign, like syncing with client spreadsheets for catalogue work, auto generating indexes/references, that kind of thing. Another problem with ID was working on a network with multiple users accessing the same file from different locations. With Photoshop it's a similar story, we had a lot of actions and custom scripts that would've been a massive headache (or impossible) to port over manually. Personally I use a lot of scripts/actions using smart objects, auto selections etc for batch processing and the feature set in Affinity just isn't (or at least wasn't) up to it. These days I prefer Capture One over Lightroom for RAW processing but I still need to use LR when processing timelapse because the 3rd party plugins only exist for LR.

  • Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it's just not comparable.
