    Master of Photography is back

    Eos R. If it's Canon it had to be the new one I guess. First assignment, contestants using 50mm and 24-105.

    Perils of not reading release forms

    Just saw this on Twitter and thought it interesting/thought-provoking: https://BANNED/ShubnumKhan/status/1023160235589025792

    Best shows on Prime/Netflix?

    So series 2 of Shooter finished on a cliffhanger, clearly they're confident of a good audience now. I was never sure of Ryan Phillippe in other roles but this one was made for him, he is incredibly good in it.

    Best shows on Prime/Netflix?

    Thoroughly enjoyed Ozark, interesting and likeable characters.

    Lonely tree in the Peak District at sunset

    IMO the first one's about the sky and no. 2's about the tree, both work very well.

    Car boot disability scooters

    A friend I met recently has one for his Mrs that fits without dismantling in the back of his X-Trail, he fitted an electric hoist in the side of the boot that lifts it in and out so it doesn't have to be lightweight. Still room for shopping back there too.

    anyone bought an Electric Bike?

    My wife and I both have Coyote Connect folders, nice step-through types with 6 gears and 3 assistance levels. The batteries are lightweight 24 volt units good for around 20 miles of assisted use. They're more manoeuvrable than a full-size bike, but still better-balanced and more stable than you...

    Did I just waste a load of money on a GH4R w. 14-140mm?

    The demise of internet forums - apparently.

    It's them paying the bills so I suppose they'll do what seems best for them economically. But it's when they spout the corporate BS of doing it to "enhance the customer experience" that I get annoyed. Why bother lying when we all know they are, and anyone in the company with an ounce of sense...

    Sleeping in the car

    My Rav4 (2004 model) does this. One of the things I look for in a car is being able to fully recline the driver's seat by pulling a lever rather than having to wind a wheel-thingy for ages.

    A cautionary tale: don't trust your compass

    I know it's easy to be wise after the event but It wouldn't have occurred to me to use the phone compass, rather I would have used (on my Android phone) Google Maps and/or Google Earth to see which way up north was and aligned myself accordingly vis-a-vis the church or the road next to it-...

    Where do you go to my lovely?

    Oh this is sad. Where Do You Go To was one of the very few singles I actually bought in my youth with my limited means, great song. Not the only good song he wrote/sang either. I'd hoped we'd get further into the year before the bad news started again.

    Tales By Light- Netflix

    Just watching episode 4. Clearly Canon are chucking money at this production, for a 1DX to be so casually trashed!

    The Walking Dead...[CONTAINS TV SHOW SPOILERS]

    I've not watched past series 4. I was starting to think that the makers of the thing were just stringing it out for as long as the ratings lasted. At that point I was thinking, why are all these dead people still walking around with clothes on, given their tendency to be lurching aimlessly...
