Thanks Jim, I think I get that. I appreciate Lightroom works on links to the original images, and doesn't actually store any images, but just wanted to makes sure I didn't go creating loads of links to source images that I then move and screw up those links for. Though I understand from a...

Hi I'm just beginning the whole RAW shooting, post processing journey, and have downloaded a trial version of Lightroom, figuring this is probably the best way to go. Before I get myself in a muddle, I want to start with a folder structure that will work even if I have to replace my Mac mini in...

Thanks for that David.

Ok, not even got the x20 yet, but I will need a few memory cards. Being new to this digital malarkey, I've a lot to learn, starting with memory. Just wanted to get your recommendations on best cards to use with the x20 if I may. I gather that cf cards are stronger, more reliable etc, but...

You've certainly got some bold colours in those shots, Rhodese ! Love the boy with the pipe...shame you couldn't get that shot and the pipe player in one :-)

Ah yes, didn't think that comment thru did I :-) Should be with me within 4 days, which works out well for me. Got it from wexphotographic. Although used it's allegedly mint, and I reckoned having the warranty was worth it. I did see a couple of new ones on ebay, but one had no mention of...

Just ordered an X20 ...woohoo !!! Thanks for the help in getting me thus far everyone, really helped me clarify a lot of questions, and I can't wait to get it in my mits and start using it. I had to go secondhand in the end :-( and tempted by the one on sale in the forum here but preferred the...

Been on here since May. Maybe mods have to do summat to approve me ?

£525 !!! That's nuts ! Ok, I've upped my non spammy count to 25, still can't see the classifieds ?!?! Hang on to that x20......I may be round with cash ! Ha ha !!!

Looks interesting, might give that a go myself.

Possibly not what you're looking for but there's a fair bit of video tuition on Lynda.com. I've watched stuff by Ben Long, not specifically technical, but interesting. You can sign up for just a month if you want, works out to about £13 ish, so maybe worth a punt ?

David, all buying humour aside, it's interesting to see that you're enjoying using the x20 so much. I seem to recall your first opinion of the ovf wasn't favourable, or am I confusing you with someone else ?

You know what, I could well be tempted. ;-) You must have got the cheapest one in the country ! Can't believe you paid so little. Ebay ones all seem to go for between £250-£325. Mind you there are still some available new for £400+ !!!

Yes, you should.....I can send you my email address if you like :D :D

We're you tempted to adjust the curved perspective on the side of this building ? I know there's a school of thought to use post processing to correct this lens effect but it can sometimes become too clinical to correct everything sometimes I guess.
