Transcribing 1648
Dec. 4th, 2023 02:15 amMaking a start on my goals list for the week, while I have a very disturbed night neurologically.
Some bits of this document are vastly easier to read than others. And I remain rubbish at reading abbreviations for numbers in the period. But can improve that. This is good practice.

DSLR photocopying
Nov. 22nd, 2023 03:39 pmThis afternoon I was photocopying a small number of pages from a borrowed library book using a rather old DSLR camera. That Panasonic LUMIX camera still has double the number of megapixels of my final generation iPod touch, and more than most mobile phones today. And given that this was a pretty dense text book it was easier to just use this camera. Which was already charged and available and ready to hand. I can copy over the pictures quickly using my laptop which has a SD card slot, and have tweaked them and turned them into a PDF to add to my research folder for the relevant academic journal paper I'm working on. If I was photographing in an archive extremely dense old handwriting I would also use my old DSLR.
