If it is any help the mill at the other side of the river (Bennets mill?) has been fully restored and now the sails look to align into the wind. So you may get a better photo of that mill??? Dave.

Just a quick heads up in case anyone is planning on photographing Thurne Mill in the next month or so. It is covered in scaffolding as they are renovating it. Great to see they are giving it some TLC but it scuppered my plans this week Dave.

I don't watch many photography channels on Youtube these days but still enjoy Ben Horne videos when he visits the national parks with his large format camera. I have no interest in film or large format but he takes images that I find interesting.

As I wasn't taking many photos I dumped my £10 a month subscription to LR + PS (Photography bundle) around 6 months ago. I heard that there are sometimes deals to be had around Black Friday so had a look on Amazon earlier this week and dropped on the same package for £62.99 for the year. That is...

I went with the 34L and don't regret it. I use a BYOB 10 and it fits all my photography gear for landscape photography. I have the Sony A7R4 with Tamron 28-200 + the 16-35GM lens (so 16 to 200mm covered) and circular filters, batteries, remote releases, wipes etc in the bag. The BYOB 10 can...

I have the BYOB 10 - it fits everything with some creativity in the layout :)...

Smaller / lighter kit is the way I have gone. I sold my 24-70 F2.8 and 70-200 F4 and replaced them with a Tamron 28-200. Now I have 2 lenses and 16 to 200mm covered. I pack the camera, lenses, circular filters, batteries and all the other bits I need into a Tenba BYOB. This then fits into either...

On Zazzle you can build the calendar then put it up for sale on the site. I can build a small, medium and large version then set a commission and then put up for sale. People can then buy what size they want and have delivered to them directly. Price is going to be more than £20 for the large...

I can't see the option to sell calendars on that link - only create your own / have delivered to me. Only on my phone at moment - will take a look in more detail when I get on a computer. Dave.

One option I have found is Zazzle - worth a look.

Not sure if this is the right area to post in but I am assuming a few landscape photographers may already do this and have opinions. I have a Facebook group and get a quite a few requests for a calendar each year. I am not a professional photographer and don't want the hassle of printing /...

Did some tests over the weekend and this was the issue :) I can still use back button focus when I switch to manual focus - so I can cover all eventualities. Thanks Dave.

Yes - I have focus on the back button. Will try moving it back on to the shutter button but it will be disappointing if that is the problem. Thanks for suggesting :) Dave.

Not sure - will check.

Yes - tried that :( I have done a search and gone through everything I could find - but still can't figure out how to get it to just focus on the touched point then take the shot. I have had this functionality on other cameras in the past and just assumed it would work easily on the X100V. It...
