My camera would just have followed my eye, and focused on the ginger beer.....

Depends where you are going! Although they seem to have changed it to 'double the price of the fare' rather than something like the £60 I was billed. https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/how-to-pay-and-where-to-buy-tickets-and-oyster/pay-as-you-go/keep-within-maximum-journey-times

Very interesting. I've been down many a time with my tripod, and no-one has ever been concerned. I do recall one security guard approaching me to see what I was up to, but when he saw I was just taking photos of the mosaics and artwork on some of the walls he wandered off. This is one of my...

But make sure you don't spend too long underground taking photos. Or what will happen is that the system assumes that you completed an earlier journey and didn't 'tap-out' when leaving the tube - and will charge you a fortune for avoiding a fare, which will then take you weeks of bickering with...

Thanks. Can't find a redeem new code on my manage account page. I'm on a PC though? Aha - https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/download-install/kb/redemption-code-help.html

Where do you add the code please? I've flicked through most pages on my account and can't find where it go? Cheers

Ooh - I've actually got a photo titled 'The Look'; and I've always felt it was one of my favourites somehow. The Look by Bodian Photography, on Flickr

I take quite a few photos of postcards. I do what a poster above does - put the camera on the tripod, use a 50mm lens (macro or otherwise) pointing straight down. It's really useful to mark out on the backing pad where to align the photos so they are all on the same place - helps greatly with...

Sounds like I need to give it a go. On LR import, I also have an import setting (Auto, bump up clarity and dehaze a bit), which gets rolled into the 1:1 preview. I'll try the FRV though - I guess there'll be a free trial.

https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/hello.759686/ Great photo. They always say in books / magazines 'focus on the eye'. How on earth are you meant to actually do that when they are that tiny!

Absolutely lovely - and I know how hard they are to capture like this. Spent an hour or so yesterday in the park taking photos of damselflies laying eggs, then had to go back today for an hour or so in the burning sun with the 'right' lenses. Ended up with hundreds - of which only a couple of...

A lot of my culling involves zooming in to see which of 300 damselfly photos has the best eye detail and so on. In LR this means running the 1:1 preview before doing this, otherwise the load time for every photo is ridiculous. So, I set it running and go and do something else. I then find it...

How do you order batteries if they're not allowed to be posted??

Where do I start - I have dozens!

Yes - that's what I did, and it all came out colourful, but more of a blurry colour. Should have read up first! Or even come back in, had a look at what I had taken, and gone out again!
