Pedanticism.

I can't believe the Wolf Run hasn't been metioned. I've got a couple of those under my belt and are an easier way into the OCR scene. Certainly the Wolf Run is one of the more relaxed and commercial of the OSC's if you're looking to get into it. If anyone's into reading blogs, link to mine below...

I meant to revisit this thread but slipped my mind. Thanks for the nudge. Yes - I did email them but didn't get a response. I ended up phoning again later in the day and spoke to a top bloke called Rik. Very friendly, very helpful, sorted the error out without question.... well, one question...

I don't claim to be a pro or anything but my least used lens is a 75-300mm that came bundled with my canon. I like it, but if I didn't have it I don't feel like I'd miss all that many shots. I probably use it more for candid portrait than anything else, as you can stand out the way and take...

That, I did not know. I'll get back in my box now.

How do you know the picture of this domestic (captive?) elephant is abused? ... There's a picture in the set of what to me looks like a Border Collie... a dog often put to work as a sheep dog. Both animals are being use to fulfil a task by humans yet you single out the elephant as being abused...

Seeing this post I thought I give Kenable a try... more so because they were cheapest I could find for all the components I want. Initially, I was very impressed. Good comms throughout, emails at every stage. Placed the order and 20 mins later the parts picked and order dispatched via DPD. Order...

This is a great thread. We're currently undergoing some extensive house surgery by way of an extension - currently have no back to the house. It's an old building (1935), one of the jobs on the list is to future proof the network, have ethernet ports in each room and have a managed switch under...

When time allows: toast (granary bread), topped with 2 slices bacon, poached egg, light sprinkling of (tickler) cheddar, rocket. Orange juice and coffee. Amazing. Sets you right up for the day, and will be my first meal of the new year.

I've been an applications analyst/IT manager within the social housing sector for the past 10 years. However I've recently moved into a software developer role, now writing bespoke packages (pl-sql, javascript) to enable integration with our oracle housing db and web portal services. Alongside...

This made me smile. I'm sat in my home office freezing. I can relate.

That second one is splendid.

You're not gonna get all that in the budget you've set. A 6500 Intel cpu would suffice. A decent mobo with socket 1151 is a must as it will be compatible with the kaby lake cpu's when they're released (future proof). 16gb ram, minimum 1800 mhz Either an nvidea 1060 or AMD 480 gpu. By the...

Wicked picture.

I have to credit GardenersHelper with this little nugget of advice, off a topic I posted recently: "To set the aperture for reversed working (on a Canon dSLR), turn the camera on with the lens the right way round. Set the aperture you want to use. Hold down the Depth of field button (that will...
