They closed the forest by me yesterday (Wyre Forest) because of the danger of trees falling on your head. We had just a strong breeze and a fair amount of rain so it didn't really need to be closed after all. It was still being patrolled (5 car parking areas in 13 sq miles) by wardens to keep...

Thanks Gramps. So it's no good for RAW users then?

Ok. I downloaded this last night (and again this afternoon) but I'm getting this weird problem. The first (vignetted) RAW image has been opened in Photo Craft and the second is the same image as loaded into Elements 26. It is happening to every image in Photo Craft but not at all in Elements...

There's always Photoshop Elements. Get it for around £85 and does most things 'Shop does without being too technical.

Taken in Kidderminster. A lot of cloud cover so no sighting of a full eclipse but I managed to get at least a couple this one being the best. Canon EOS M6 Mark II EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM ƒ/16.0 191.0 mm 1/640 sec ISO: 100 The Solar Eclipse in Worcestershire by Philip Lench, on Flickr

I have the Benro (2nd left) and it works well even though sometimes I have to re-tighten the legs. Also very light so I'm happy with it.

We both use Lyca. I joined them a couple of years ago after EE refused to back down on charging me roaming fees while we were on Corfu and they said I was in Albania and charged me £38. OK it's just across the water but they didn't even bother investigating so I left. My partner joined a month...

I find those St James ads that bookend Sky Arts programs totally patronising and boring. Be glad when Sky find a new sponsor for that excellent channel.

If it's just the card pushed in backwards then try a phone repair shop. They have tools for that kind of problem

Welcome to the incurable blood cancer family mate. Also known as the secret cancer because no one can see it.

I'm 72 now and was looking forwards to an active retirement. Sadly that went wrong when I was diagnosed with Myeloma in November 2023. Now I can no longer travel, use my camera and lead a normal life. My days are spent looking at four walls most of the time with the occasional trip to...

Consider Panasonic Lumix TZ90's too. Has all you require apart from the bluetooth/NFC but has WiFi. Used prices on Ebay start at £250 but the quality of the pocketable/hand bagable (is there such a word?) is well known. It can also do selfies so that'll be right up a teenagers street. One...

We had a canal bank collapse near us (Wolverley) some time ago in 2019. It still hasn't been fixed completely but just enough to allow boats through. The Canal Trust blame Severn Trent. ST blame CT. Meanwhile the lane running above has been closed to all traffic for 6 years now meaning a 2 mile...
