Yes, David Attenbrough gets all the credit for the amazing wildlife series on BBC and the cameramen hardly get any! incidentally does anyone else agree that DA's voiceovers are getting just a little bit predictable? All feeding, breeding and fighting? I've often thought there was more to...

Very different styles as well as different subject matter....... Another thing that occurred to me was that many a Turner featured historical or biblical scenes while Constable focussed intensely on the landscape around without bringing any of that mythological stuff into the equation.

Constable was very much ahead of his time too. In some ways Turner's work was an extension of that by Claude Lorraine. As I said earlier, I'm not an expert but that point was made by in the captions to the exhibition, and the evidence was clear in the paintings as well.

For a few minutes, in most cases, if that, for me too.

Yes, one of my criticisms of a lot of Turner's work was that he does make the landscape look brown; the influence of the Dutch masters seems to have stuck with him long after Constable showed how the English landscape was predominantly green, as you say. Claude Lorraine was a big influence...

A few years ago I visited the National Gallery which has a couple of Constables "6 footers" and a few by Turner. I came away with the impression that the Turners seemed unfinished somehow, while the Constables seemed so full of life and detail that I preferred those. This impression was strongly...

I visited the Constable and Turner exhibition at the Tate Gallery last week and came away with a strong preference for the work of one over the other . Does anyone else here have any thoughts about the merits of these two great English landscape painters?

Some might say that in some respects you are always a beginner. In some respects I'm old hand but in a technical sense I'm still learning. Modern cameras are SO complex there is always a feature somewhere whose purpose is unknown to me, and if I did know what it did I wouldn't know how to get...

I did get those figures (for 2024, I think) from the Welsh Government .But yeah, I see what you meant.

OUR food? I'm not trying to be critical but 95% of meat products (lamb, beef) produced in Wales is exported!

All excellent and good light. They're very sharp. How much pp (denoise, sharpening) did you do on them?

I bought my OM1 mk2 late last year (to eventually replace my OM1 mk1). but have only just started using it. I set up custom settings for landscapes and wildlife (C1 and C2) both set for RAW files only. On reviewing the files I discovered that part way through a "shoot" the camera has started to...

I just changed the GPU in my PC and Denoise now takes 15 seconds per image instead of 2 minutes! And I suspect that with the old GPU it may actually have been much longer . I've tried it with several images since the update and 15 seconds is accurate.

Well personally I found it quite interesting. Is that the line of the Pennines in the background? How far away are they? And it looks like the sun is shining. That surely can't be right, can it? Must be AI.......

It could be the way I use my OM1 mk1 or the camera itself might be faulty in some way. I'll soon know.....I'm just about to road test my OM1 mk2.
