    GOBE filters - 10 stop filter test

    I bought one of these a few weeks ago too. I’m pretty happy, though my shots did have a fair amount of blue cast. Wasn’t difficult to fix in Lightroom though.

    Dusk lakeside beauty

    Thanks! I actually missed the text above the photo where you gave some details. I’ll eventually learn to move beyond my pop up flash and take a shot with nice lighting!

    Dusk lakeside beauty

    A really beautiful shot! The lighting is really good - would you mind sharing how you lit the scene?

    Amazon prime online storage

    I use it, and I’ve managed to back up the best part of 20’years of jpg images. It does some auto-categorisation which is quite fun. Like it automatically recognised things like ‘Guitars’ or ‘Food’, even recurring faces in pictures. Downside is that the interface to upload isn’t great, and it...

    City abstract

    That’s pretty freaky... what are we looking at?

    Scotland From London to Scotland

    I’m Scottish and not sure I agree! I’m pretty new at the photograph game, but I pass through the Lakes regularly and have had a few weekends there. It’s a beautiful place.

    Spotify Premium for £4.49 a year??

    I read it as “More likely to be a scam than not to be a scam”. So, a scam!

    Scotland From London to Scotland

    I suppose it depends on what you like. If you can make it as far as Harris, it's stunningly beautiful, particularly the beaches. If you are a whisky fan, Islay is worth a visit. Glasgow has some interesting architecture, both modern and traditional, then there is Edinburgh with the castle and...

    USB-C extension cable for AC Adapter Question

    USB-C does seem pretty baffling at times, I can't seem to get my head round it either! We have LG 4k & 5k monitors in our office. They both have identical looking connections and cables, but the 4k uses USB-C, whereas the 5k uses Thunderbolt 3 (with is supposed to be backwards compatible with...

    Gas/electric bills

    This is pretty interesting, I'd love to have solar panels installed. Approximately how much did it cost to install the panels? Have you figured out how long the payback period would be?

    Spotify Premium for £4.49 a year??

    Certainly appears to be pretty scammy to me. Have a look at this:- https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/is-this-a-scam-https-thgdigitalgoods-com-products-spotify/td-p/4484016

    Macbook Pro and Lightroom, Thoughts ~Please.......

    I'm pretty new to all this myself, but did try out a few different options before settling on Lightroom (even though I don't like the monthly fee). I found Lightroom CC to be pretty user friendly, but ended up mostly using Classic. Another thing to think about is mobile editing - with Lightroom...

    Beginner First (proper) camera - can't choose?!

    I was in a similar situation a couple of months ago, and opted for the Sony A5100 and am very happy with it. It's light and compact, but seems to be a very capable camera - some of my friends with more experience than me were quite impressed by it to, particularly the low noise levels with high...

    Images found on the Internet are fair use???

    I find this really interesting in a couple of ways. A friend of mine found that someone had posted one of his photos on Pinterest without his permission, and he had zero luck in getting them to take it down. It seems that this judge would side with Pinterest. The other thing is the point about...

    After nearly 40 yrs with photography, a question has occurred to me...

    This is a really interesting thread, particularly the comparisons between photography and music. (side note:- The Jeff Beck and Imelda May video was great!) I’m a total novice photographer, having owned a camera all of six weeks. However, I’ve been playing bass guitar since I was 13 and...
