Hopefully, if they work as claimed, we might start to see them being offered by opticians here in the UK particularly as something like 9% of men are supposed to be colourblind. Seems as though there are just a few trickling into the UK via sites like Amazon and eBay at the moment, so hard to...

I'm colour-blind. Technically, deuteranomoly or low green but oddly, I love the colour green and think I see it quite well. I've seen the Enchroma videos and am seriously tempted, but a bit put off by the high cost. I don't mind spending the money if it transforms vision for me, as some videos...

Yeah, it's been reported as such to both the insurance company and the police. Not that I expect a great deal to happen, as it seems to be a pretty common practice these days.

A data breach is large scale harvesting of people's personal data for illicit purposes. This is just a lowly, probably poorly paid minion making a human error. Report it and the best you can expect is for that same person to get a major ear bending, and possibly worse. I had a similar scenario...

Great shots. Especially love the solo Hurricane. What kit were you using? Can't seem to view the exif info on flikr.

If you can't find any thing wild to go after, there's always Shepreth Wildlife Park.

More to the point, if the price goes up, do you go back and offer them more money?

Pumpkins are really greedy plants, which need both a lot of water and a lot of nutrients. If you keep it in a pot, it's likely to restrict its growth quite a bit. If you're aiming to eat, rather than produce lantern sized fruit, I'd probably stick with 3 or 4 fruit. You may struggle to achieve...

In all seriousness, it's because it's something being done badly and I think it can be improved. I'm at that "everything I shoot is terrible" stage in a photographer's development. I've spent a tonne of cash on a load of good gear in the misguided belief that it'll lead to good images. I've now...

Forgot to mention that detail. A lot of the subject material I have access to is on trial growing fields, ie. typically a narrow 10ft row of a single flower variety in bloom, a couple of feet away from similar adjoining rows of slightly different varieties. I may well get a good opportunity to...

Mobile phones transmit their IMEI every time they connect to the network. I don't know of anywhere you can buy a mobile legitimately without a strong probability of being indentified or captured on CCTV.

I work in ecommerce and am generally into shooting cars, planes and landscapes - but I work within the horticulture industry and constantly get annoyed by terrible quality product photos showing flower plants with blown highlights, over saturation, poor DOF, etc (a lot of which could probably be...

Phones can generally be traced back to the supplier. If the end justifies the means, the phone purchase can be tied back to a card transaction. Pay cash and they'll use CCTV to identify you. Buy secondhand and you'll need to make sure you can't be identified by the previous owner. Go...

Someone's optimistic :LOL:

I always use Draytek both at home and at work. Wifi range is impressive out of the box. If for any reason it's not good enough, you can buy booster aerials, which work really well. I'm currently using a Vigor2830 on the standard aerials and my phone happily connects inside my car 100 yards down...
