Personally, if I was using it for travel, I'd go for a UE Boom. They're the size (and shape) of a beer can, and are waterproof, and generally very tough. If you got the Bose, you would then need a case for it, and still wouldn't be keen on just sticking it in a bag to carry it. The UE Boom is...

You shouldn't leave lithium batteries discharged for lengthy periods. If you're not going to use it for a while, always charge the battery. It's when they're severely discharged that things go bad. Batteries built in to devices such as laptops, are managed by the device. They will shut down...

:LOL: I've just checked, although I think unless you were in a marquee, the resolution of my camera might not be quite good enough. Anyway, I think I was a day too early for you. :D

Thanks George. Very much appreciated. :D

Thanks very much, guys. :D

Lovely shots of a great experience. Fleetwith Pike is one of my favourites. Loving the shots of Great Gable, too. Great stuff. (y)

Hi all. Subtle lighting over Fleetwith Pike and Honister Pass, as viewed from High Stile, on my walk at the weekend. Buttermere peeping around Grey Crag, on the left. At the beginning of the day, the cloud was half way down Fleetwith Pike. It lifted as the day went on. By the time I came...

Well I like it a lot. Shows it how it is. Have you used a polariser to get the underwater detail in the foreground? My main camera for when I'm fell walking is an X100T, so maybe I should look into how I can get a polariser on it, to get that detail in the lakes and tarns...

Thanks Wayne. Aah, I pondered over it for a long time. I actually took various shots, with different framing, including portrait, and finally settled on this one. I do take your point though. The camera is an X100, so fixed focal length, otherwise I'd have cropped in at the time of taking...

Haystacks was in thick cloud when I'd walked over it an hour or so earlier. By the time I'd got to the top of High Crag, the cloud was beginning to dissipate, and when I looked behind, I got this fantastic view... Smouldering Haystacks by Oliver Coats, on Flickr

Something else to check out is Publii. Still early days for the software, but again, it's free, and the standard templates are very nice. It describes itself as blogging content management software, but it builds static web pages that you build and update on your computer then upload the files...

Yeah, I figured you might be restricted by the theme you've chosen. Personally I would go with something that only covered, say 60-70% width. A slow fading gallery would look good, just showing one image at a time. But maybe that's not possible. But if you did do something like that, you...

No problem. Elsewhere, I wouldn't say you needed to replace or combine a booking and contact form, just as long as if you have both, they are in the main menu and clearly labelled. For me though, the portfolio on the homepage is a little overwhelming, and not helped by the darkening hover...

Just a little note regarding your contact page. The URL is incorrect: https://www.lwsportsphotography.com/new-page/ Therefore, the 'Get In Touch' button on your About page brings up a 404 Error style page, as it tries to call what I would assume is the intended URL...

Indeed, the amount to choose from makes it very difficult. As far as I know, only Cotswold Outdoor and Nordic Outdoor sell Fjallraven in Keswick. I go in them regularly, but stock is very limited in the trouser department and I've never bought from them. Still good to go and try some on to...
