Regarding micro focus adjustment on DDLSs while agree that it could be an issue it wasn’t for me , back in the day I sent my kit , 7D 2 and 300 2.8 and TCs to Canon to set up and it was spot on after that But agree mirrorless is better in my case R5 makes it so much easier to track and shoot a...

Thanks everyone interesting comments :) I did find the Google AI helpful as I mentioned for those images that aren’t my usual thing and especially as I was using the Sony RX 100 mk 1 for something it wasn’t really meant for, very high ISO at low light Unfortunately for many gigs they don’t...

Thanks will do especially when I upgrade to DXO 10 am expecting that they build on the new masking feature in version 9 , I am on 8 elite

Good point, you will love the R5 mk 2 I have the mk 1 it’s amazing

Glad to hear that you are getting back your mojo For me getting out the the camera is just part of it am into nature anyway I would actually say that photography is becoming popular again certainly wildlife, nature and zoo photography that i do Am seeing lots of new faces which is good and...

Do agree that murder isn’t the right term but behaviour like this, driving recklessly like that does deserve severe punishment and jail time in my opinion even just to take them off the roads to protect society

Thanks , I should have said though that I don’t use Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop For the last few years I have moved to DXO and Affinity Photo

Good point, there isn’t so much content on DXO photolab but better than it used to be, will have a look again on you tube DXO do have excellent videos on their site but I struggle sometimes with how to do the basics like masking and brushes to do local adjustments, with AI was able to just ask...

Didn’t want to sidetrack Grahams post in the Talk Photography section but it made me think I recently tried using Google AI for general advice on post processing specifically for processing band/gig images This was completely out of my comfort zone as I normally shoot macro and wildlife I used...

Fair point didn’t realise that, maybe the cases I have read about in past the offender was charged with a lesser offence, there was a case locally, can’t remember the details but the driver got away with a suspended sentence and an innocent was killed by their actions

If there was a meaningful punishment for causing death by reckless driving it would deter these morons and others who do similar We don’t need new laws just deter them using the ones we already have

Can’t remember exactly what I used but it was specifically for brake system maybe it was silicone

I don’t service our own car anymore but do our bikes , I have always put a little bit of the red brake grease on brake pins They used to be prone to seizing on bike brakes but seem to be better designed nowadays

Agree the boys who stole that car and drove it the wrong way on the motorway chose to deliberately put other peoples lives at risk No sympathy at all for them from me only the innocent victims in the other car

There were a couple of young yobs in town on e-scooters forced a car to do an emergency stop then shot through the pedestrian area at speed Don’t understand why they can’t have the things taken off them
