    Integral CF Express cards who is using them.

    I have Integral CFast cards as well - I find them to be the 'budget' card in my mix - for day to day photography they're great - but If I'm doing my 1DX2 at maximum FPS and full RAW - they are a bit slower than my Sandisk cards. So if you're only looking to use them for landscapes - I'd have no...

    Who knows Manchester inside out? Or (shudder....) who lives there? (Thinking to move to the area)

    I'm at a point (finally) where I'm about to leave the valleys of Wales following the long-delayed sale (by an acrimonious sister) of my parents property. I'm narrowing down my options, and have been researching Rightmove and all the property websites for some time, so if anyone here is from...

    BetaMax recorder....

    Completed sales on ebay suggest £25 to £250 depending on model and condition. So could be worth next to nothing, or could be worth a decent meal out at a restaurant a couple of times...

    Probate, LPA, will advice

    Just to re-iterate the above - the LPA ceased to be at the time of your father's passing. The actions of someone acting on the donor's behalf are tied to only doing things in the best interest of the donor. You're no doubt going through a lot emotionally at the moment, but it would be useful to...

    Have I scared mamma bird away ?

    Definitely a blackbird - I’ve been watching her fly in and out, and most definitely still around! There’s always something to see in the garden isn’t there ?

    Have I scared mamma bird away ?

    To be fair the garden probably has a load of other better nesting places for a blackbird aside from the top of a wobbly wisteria that's falling away from the fence. It's mostly a very bird friendly garden, with feeders, water, a little waterfall and more. There's 3 birdboxes (Too smallf or a...

    Have I scared mamma bird away ?

    I’d probably hazard a guess of about 8-10 inches wide from outer edge to outer edge. The garden does have its fair share of blackbirds - that was my initial thought, and they were active in the garden as usual after I’d come back into the house - so fingers crossed they’ll go back, and I’ll stay...

    Have I scared mamma bird away ?

    There’s a wisteria monster in the garden, and with the house being for sale, and it shooting in all directions like it does every year, I got the ladder out and started to give it a trim. Suddenly spotted this - and stopped immediately. (Anyone know what chicks they might be?) hoping i haven’t...

    Manfrotto Green Screen on Amazon

    No doubt you're right :) But some people like the branded item... And it's cheap for one of these. I wouldn't buy it - but for that much off MRP someone might be interested. I know there's plenty of bargain hunters on here!

    Manfrotto Green Screen on Amazon

    Just thought I'd post this in case it was of any interest. The green screen from Manfrotto - the LLB7622 - is usually over £500 retail, and £400 used - Amazon have one in the Warehouse as 'used acceptable' for £277.97 with an extra 30% off at checkout on their clearance sale - so comes in at...

    Ray Bans

    I've used these to reglaze my Oakley prescription sunglasses with original Oakley lenses. I can see they do the major lens brands too. Plenty of options on lens brand/thickness/colour/coatings. https://www.fashioneyewear.com/en-uk/pages/glasses-reglaze-guide

    If you have Adobe Lightroom you can adjust export settings to a certain px size and a certain dpi of your choice.

    TFL depot transport museum, Acton, London. (Pic heavy)

    There's quite a bit more to see - but it would spoil it if I put everything up :)
