    Tons of high-end studio kit up for auction

    Not sure what went down there but everything is marked as unsold. Unless there were stupid reserve prices on everything, who knows?

    Sending Sold Camera Bag/s?

    Rubble sacks maybe, they're like extra strong black bags.

    Cutting granite at home.

    A tricky one with it in place. I've cut plenty of tiles in my 19 years in the business including granite, but nothing as thick as a worktop. A wet cut is really needed and dust should be minimal, it's just very messy with the sludge it makes. Have a look at rubi tools they make a rail saw, but...

    Kitchen tap problem

    Maybe a spudger tool might shift it.

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    Thanks, I think I'm more worried that come a few months time the apps may change and have sticker restrictions limiting your flights. This whole CE drone thing is going to be interesting anyhow. That's a European mark and as we'll no longer be in Europe will it still stand[emoji849]

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    I've been considering buying a drone as I think I'd use it more than my dslr and it may encourage me to get out more again. Would I be better waiting though now with all of the changes due? I don't want to invest 1k+ to not then be able to use it in a matter of months. Any advice would be great.

    North England 'Street' togs.

    We used to have quite a good group on here from Leeds /Yorkshire. They have all sadly moved over to Facebook now from what I believe. I don't have an account so lost touch with them.

    Fine batteries for speedlights

    I use 7dayshop batteries as well. Not too sure what is going on with them though. Hardly anything on the site now, loads out of stocks. Looks like they could be struggling to me almost on verge of closing down sadly. I'm planning on some IKEA ones next time.

    Air Con Bomb Cleaner

    I've been considering this. https://www.valetingproducts.co.uk/product/fog-it3 Enough to do every car in the street but appears to be a good solution, even freshens your upholstery to some degree I'd think.

    The Space and Astronomy Thread

    It's crazy to think a rocket could land on such a small platform at sea. How things have progressed over the past few years. I watched the docking today. Glad everything went well any they arrived safely. It did then turn into a big propaganda show for the USA sadly. A felt for the two...

    RIP Matt Hancox (TP member)

    This is so sad, I was only thinking of him a couple of weeks gone when contemplating some star trail photography once the lockdown is eased. We only met once but i have a great lasting memory of him. Such a great guy always willing to offer him help. Rip Matt.

    Hahnel customer service.

    Holy thread revival. Not sure you'll get a response as his last post was nearly 2 years ago.

    How to park in a tight space.

    That's not even a tight space

    Gardens, at night?

    Turn off the lights, a steady tripod and remote release. Set camera to bulb for a long exposure turn the lights on for the last few seconds of the exposure. You'll have to experiment with the length of exposure dependent on ambient light. Or Take two shots one to expose for the lights Turn...
