    Cobra, Rest in Peace

    I’ve had the pleasure of a few chats with Chris and of knowing his virtual self for a long time via TP and saddened by this news. Great guy who made TP a better place for all of us. Thoughts are with his family and friends and the TP moderator team who I am sure are feeling it more than most.

    Derwent water mono

    Love that. The snow on the tops gives it the edge.

    Mac Mini choice

    I bought my Mac Mini from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace. Went to his house to view it working and got a copy of the original receipt so all good. There are bargains to be had if you search carefully and don’t just jump at an unbelievable sale price.

    That second one looks very atmospheric Rory - I can imagine it with more snow on the tops!

    Apple mini Mac M2 for Lightroom and limited PS

    Following advice on here I bought the M2 16GB Mac Mini with 512GB SSD. (I was lucky to find a second hand one locally for a good price) No issues at all with handling LR or PS. For the Monitor I bought a 27" BenQ PD2705U which was on offer at Wex. I looked at getting the 32" but the price...

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    You’d likely see that in the UK through “official” retailers with discounts and bundle deals. This may just be a coincidence and exchange rates?

    Boredom

    You could set yourself a photography processing challenge - learn how to do XXXX processing in LR / PS or whichever software? This can take a while to learn /. watch YouTube videos and then apply or learn on your photos? All can be done sat comfortably too so less leg strain etc.

    Does anybody use handoff with their Mac (mini or otherwise) and their iPad. Now I have my new Mac mini it's something I might try when editing. Is there a good guide or YouTube anyone can recommend?

    All things related to Apple phones & tablets

    A question for those of you who have a Mac Mini. I’m looking to go down this route and if I buy new, I am looking at getting 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. (My iMac currently has 24GB and 3TB Fusion respectively) I feel that 8GB might be a limiting factor and whilst I have plenty of eternal...

    Canon 5D mk II official owners/users thread, anything related to the 5D2

    I upgraded my 5D MkII to an R5. The 5D is still a fantastic camera and I have kept it as my back up. I noticed the step change for on 5D to the MkII was significant enough not to look at the 5D again so just consider if you need a back up or look to move it on (although the price will be a...

    Birds in your garden

    No chance to get the camera out but yesterday our “resident” male Sparrowhawk took a sparrow from one of the shrubs in our garden. Lots of noise then he landed on the ground with the bird in his claw before flying off. It was late afternoon so he must be feeding young on the nest. It was...
