Yep I also like to travel when we can and do try to be green but do realise that I am not perfect as do most people It’s difficult though as I love wildlife but also am adding to the problem myself by travelling around the world

Do agree for 10 by 8 prints or viewing on small screens high MP isn’t needed , everyone's use is different though I actually like zooming into a macro image and seeing all the incredible detail like in an insect compound eye

Yes our Yaris has a thick door pillar that restricts visibility, I guess its a safety thing crash resistant as don’t remember having the same thing with older cars

We both ride and drive and always check/lifesavers in the car as well especially as newer cars seem to have poorer visibility/blind spots

Exactly this we have a 7 year old Yaris on 47 K miles , my other half wants a new electric car but to be completely honest I just don’t see why Ours is completely reliable only pay for a yearly service It’s perfect for my photo trips , I can get in it muddy and covered in grass bits after a day...

I mostly go to local places anyway with 2 or 3 longer trips a year, things like the butterflies down south We have an economical petrol car anyway , a Yaris so its not affecting what we do

Thanks Graham will have a look at that book Think I will have to get used to the new Affinity eventually as DXO are working to integrate photolab together with Affinity Canva I am hoping that it will be possible to work on a mask in DXO then further work on that in Affinity, at the moment its...

Me too I tried to get on with the new Affinity but have now gone back to the original version I have version 2 on my Mac unfortunately only version 1 on PC but still prefer it to the new one Unfortunately it is no longer possible to buy version 2

Thanks yes the Camera shop at Chester has them so can try them out

Thanks, the first trip will be whale watching and we have worked out that a slightly wider view, 8 x 42 will be about right The Nikon Prostaff P7 8 x 42 look good and are waterproof

My better half is looking for a pair of binoculars want something decent for occasionally going on wildlife holidays without spending too much :)

Talking about diet issues, I have a bit of a gluten intolerance not life threatening or anything I can eat proper Spelt Sourdough that has been fermented/risen slowly, the process breaks down the problem ingredients but its so difficult to actually buy the proper thing in supermarkets The...

May be Dave that the head on your Tanaka 2 stroke strimmer can take a generic nylon feed head , im not an expert on such things but maybe the thread at the end is a standard size and you can bolt on a new feed head Agree about the speed control being variable its so handy when i use it at the...

I tried to record the morning chorus while visiting family in Cornwall, there just wasn’t many birds calling Too much traffic noise at home to do sound recordings and not so many birds singing anyway

I went for the pro max for the bigger screen, my previous one was a 13 mini so new one seems huge Went for the pro so that I can use it to transfer images via a hub from card reader to an external drive to save carrying a laptop while travelling Camera is a bonus will be interesting to see how...
