Gosh, some real dinosaurs on here; good to see some people talking sense. Lots of whataboutery and misinformation. People should realise that the oil industry is basically where the tobacco industry was when it was claiming cigs were good for you. Spending lots of money to protect their...

Thanks. Part of what they want is to do the 'proper' filmaking so they know that they will need to rig it out, I don't know how much they are getting out of resolve. They're intending to make a short film over the summer holidays so I was just thinking to do some research and discuss with...

I don't know if you'd find it useful but one option is to have a notebook and jot down key points about each pic you take, what the focus point was, what the exposure meter setting was and what you wanted to achieve and then take a photo of the notebook. so that when you are reviewing pics...

The camera doesn't in itself have f stops. It has the ability to control the aperture of the lens. When you turn the camera on it talks to the lens to find out what the capabilities of the lens are. If you look intoi the lens when you take a pic with a small aperture/large f number...

https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ has some good articles. In terms of lens choice, most people are looking for a small depth of field in order to make a specific part of the pic stand out. Which is also why you see the arguments over the quality of bokeh (the smoothness of the blurr of...

Good stuff. :) three factors - aperture, shutter speed and iso. I use the bucket analogy. Taking a correctly exposed pic is like filling a bucket with water. How much water/light you need depends on the size of the bucket (or the ISO - which is just the sensitivity - how much light the...

Some nice pics there. I like the web as well as the excellent bird. On the shrubbery and the DOF were you after a narrow dof or wide/deep? remember that bigger apertures are smaller numbers. its f divided by 6 being a bigger aperture than f/8. I wouldnt expect the jump from f/6 to...

Thanks - I'll look into that. Eldest has taken some pretty decent pics with just phone and a sort of clamp arrangement. Not sure if thats with eyepieces or not tbh. It is a newtonian, I think 8" diameter, no idea about focal length.

One thing that I like about mft bodies is the ease and cheapness (yorkshireman here :-) ) of putting old manual lenses on. There are some very good old manual lenses which can be picked up cheaply and which work really well on the olympus/panasonic bodies. It might just be me, but having...

My eldest has the attic room with a scope up all the time occupying one of the velux windows. Agree on the filter costs- but it seems that everything related to telescopes is £££. Was thinking an mft-T adapter and no eyepiece and see what happens. We're fairly rural so not much light...

Do you just remove the filter or replace it? I'm tempted to pick up a cheap body and try some astro-photography.

Hi My daughter and a group of friends have been playing about with video stuff for a while and are now interested in moving up a step. I know nothing about this but reading around it looks like the 'best' option for them might be a used blackmagic camera. Resolve seems to be the go to...

m&m stock some stuff up to 3xl and 4xl - I've no idea what that means in inches. Just checked for the link and they are listing one 5xl jacket as well. They are very reasonably priced and supply brands which may be fashionable. Daddy-Oh...

I think that DD has given the answer (excuse my emphasis). Hoppy also makes some good points, as usual. The vast majority of businesses in any field are there first and foremost to earn money. When you find a business which actually has a 'passion for excellence' (almost certainly TM / (c)...

Sorry, you're right. Just realised - sending address - I took it as web address. Yes, Sending address means nothing .
