So .... that means they put the first class and business class passenegers at higher risk where they are allowed heavier bags ? Or that the inconsistent enforcement generally puts passengers at risk ? It's all a bit of a game. Airlines that charge for hold baggage have an incentive to enforce...

With Godox it was about also about timing. Godox had a window of opportunity with the global availability of the 2.4GHz used for wireless triggering. That means that they could sell wireless triggers pretty much globally. We saw other Chinese manufacturers putting out less sophisticated...

I started flying BA again in part because of the more liberal carry on rules in the economy cabin. As compared to the likes of Qatar and Emirates and the 7kg limits - which are not IME rigorously enforced but leave you exposed by small print on the occcasions that they do enforce. The BA rules...

Depends on the airline. Rules are variable across different carriers. Enforcement of rules is also variable.

If it was £20 off £49.95 then I might get excited. But the £69,95 is an outrageous starting point.

I use a pair of AD200s They are quite portable and for me they are ideal. Easy to pack along with other miscelaneous kit in a back pack or small roller bag. The current Pro II model has the larger bulb adapter with the ring of LEDs as a modeling light source. I'm not overly enamoured with this...

I have some sympathy for the lawyers drafting these things -- it's like a huge complex IT system that can't be replaced and people keep adding bits to it and making it ever more tangled and more complex - rather than rewriting it from scratch.

Is that a 'dramatic' change? This act is based on the 1986 act and only applies if that act would already apply. So if having committed an offence under the 1986 act the police and prosecution might decide that the 2023 act also applies - and this gives them the facility to charge and...

As a digression - I still remember the artwork that used to be done with airbrush back in the late 60s / 70s. The science fiction images of Chris Foss looked very striking (still look striking I guess) - and photographic.

This is entirely down to you. I had a Canon Pro10S for about 10 years. I would print in bursts. The ink costs were high. The printer was irritating. But the results were excellent and satisfying. So the downside is cost and time. The priner is also physcally large and requires working space so...

Actually this gets complicated as well. It can also change over time. There is stuff that is obvious. There is stuff that changes. An example might be a young girl posing in costume, A generation or two ago an image that would maybe have been seen as cute might today be seen as being slightly...

Yes you can complain. There are some difficult boundaries. But in principle you don't have the general right to overeact and lash out and then be excused.

I disagree. It's a poorly presented *government* publication that effectively asserts a position that does have specific potential to impact street photography.

It could be one of many things. I would guess on this occasion it is a viewing hood for using outdoors with a laptop or screen.

I'm not really waiting for anything. That's not to say that I won't be acquiring a new lens or body in the next year. But the decisions are based on my need at the time and how much I'm willing to pay. And those acquisitions would most likely be for existing already released products.
