The importance of camera and lens calibration has increased in correlation to the increase in pixel count of camera sensors as well as the camera’s technical sophistication. Your photographic equipment is not only expensive and highly sophisticated. It’s performance is extremely delicate. Such is the sophistication of your DSLR cameras that even brand new lenses straight out of the box, let alone lenses that have had light knocks and bumps, can need calibration with your DSLR camera body. WHY DO YOU NEED LENS CALIBRATION? There are many reasons your photos aren’t sharp….. It could be because you are using a poor quality UV filter or protection filter. Blog – Focussing with Filters It could be you have the wrong focus settings on your camera for the genre of photography you are doing. It could be warping of the lens mount. This can occur when using very large and heavy zoom lenses without handling and supporting the camera and lens properly. A knock or a bump on the lens may have put a glass element out of alignment. This is surprisingly easy to do depending on the build quality of the lens. An astigmatism test ( commonly known as a ‘stig test’) can quickly confirm this. We often use it for customers who have recently bought a used lens and want to make sure of its quality. However, one of the most common reasons your pictures aren’t pin sharp is because your lens needs calibrating. Camera and lens calibration can dramatically improve your focussing and thus your success rate in getting those important shots. Read More on Why calibrate

Bullying is a complex issue which requires a multi-faceted response. There are many factors that influence behaviour – in our schools, our communities and online. We benefit from a wealth of research both in the UK and internationally relating to bullying, and we are influenced by a broad range of theoretical approaches. Direct interventions with children and families We provide interventions with children at an individual and peer group level and family-based interventions. Work with schools and the community We support staff to understand how their actions influence the behaviour of children and consider practical ways we can build safe communities. Wider societal influence We consider the ways that our society and culture influence the behaviour of children and are champions for kindness, empathy, inclusion and respect. The impact of our work There are five main ways that we reduce the impact of bullying and harm: Building communities of support Reducing isolation and loneliness Promoting positive relationships Supporting resilience and wellbeing Helping children recognise and respond to bullying behaviour. See Impact for details of what we deliver and how it changes young lives. Our values We believe that every child has the right to live life free from bullying and harm We believe that all adults have a responsibility for creating safe and nurturing environments for children We value the role of parents and carers and work with them to keep children safe We believe that by working together we can protect more young lives and actively encourage partnership work
