    So what does everyone make of the new Sony A6500?

    Thing is you don't have to buy them. I tend to miss a generation or wait for a more significant or ground breaking feature. Been with sony since digital cameras became available. But I haven't owned every upgraded model Just read that it isn't an upgrade of the a6300 as sony will still be...

    So what does everyone make of the new Sony A6500?

    6mths the a6300 been out or thereabouts haven't upgraded from my a6000 mostly because the features I might use weren't worth the price difference. But this looks good. My non sony lenses would benefit from in body stabilisation and I like the touch/pad/screen. The buffer of 310 shots at 11fps...

    Customer Data Manager for our national account customers. Get to work from home in cheddleton in the lovely churnet valley on the north Staffordshire moorlands. 40ft from my bungalow looks across to Derbyshire and the roaches. I crunch data from our SAP system and mince it through data cubes...

    What would you do.

    It is really scary, but let me list my problems since birth. Born with a fibrosis cystic kidney in 1959 and I was premature. The kidney had to be removed to save my life even then back then it was touch and go. Age 11 tonsils it (routine but all surgery carries risks). Age 14 complications...

    Any 'Nest' users? (or Hive)

    Sonos and echo will be integrated early 2017. I have a house full of sonos. So only getting the echo dot to allow the voice control element. Quick workaround putting a BT receiver into the line in on the play 5 I can then control amazon music and Spotify until the full integration. Then I don't...

    What would you do.

    I was on 110 pills a week, if you want any incentive for surgical intervention over throwing pills and physio at it. I am now on 1 tablet a day and have never felt fitter. Any shooting pains are signs of the cord being squashed. Exactly what was happening in my neck.

    What would you do.

    yep that's why I'm saying the risk is worth it. I was actually told "don't have any sort of incidence or car accident that jolts your neck, it could paralyse you". It does deteriorate and the risk is the spinal cord touching any part of the spine. I used to wake up with no arms and legs some...

    What would you do.

    Yep feel lucky to have lasted 12mths so far. After that sort of shock every day is just that another day. Live every day.... There is risk obviously everything

    Bearded Dragon

    I love bearded dragons, saved my sons when the light failed by putting him next to my skin under my jumper to warm him up slowly when he appeared to be dead. He was cold and seemed dead. To the pictures my favourites are number 1 and number 5

    What would you do.

    Honestly i know where you are coming from I really do. In my case my prognosis (18mths to live and slow paralysis) didn't give me much choice, I can see from your profile you are much older than me. I'm 57. However I also know how miserable the lack of mobility and the pain affects you day to...

    What would you do.

    Listen just get it done. This time last year I had a spine operation cancelled because of my blood. Investigations showed that I had a large 42mm tumour on my only kidney. So I was faced with legs I could hardly use due to the spine condition. (Cervical spinal stenosis with myelopathy) and major...

    Lightroom Preset Collections

    Just a point get the Google nik collection for free that works with lightroom. It used to be very expensive. I find some really good effects possible with that software that presets can't quite do. Plus noise reduction and sharpening tools. Google "Nik collection". Nothing to lose with it being...

    I might be a bit out of my depth....

    We all feel a bit like that. But they reckon you can find 50 things in and around the house to photograph. Been here weeks mind and still haven't posted! I've been a serious amateur for 10 yrs at least. Serious illness dented my confidence but just watching and learning sometimes helps anyway.
