Thanks Jeff...have already got the glass sheet ready....will look at the compacts mentioned...

Thanks everybody for the replies...Somebody else suggested the Canon G15 as a possible contender for the task?

I am looking for a compact (or small bridge) camera for talking pics of coins and similar sized items for recording and posting on line. It probably doesn't count as true macro, but I need something that will enable me to reasonable fill the shot with say a 5p sized subject.. It will be used in...

I am quite offended by that...it was a bank holiday weekend!

What part of Wales are you in? I am on the border between Mold and Chester in the north, and the police around here have been stopping folks in one of the big shopping areas checking if they be travelled from England and issuing fines accordingly...Apparently not much leniency or guidance being...

(y) My main passion is metal detecting, and I use that site quite a bit for research, although I tend use the side by side mapping function..its an excellent site with a lot of maps...even the more recent OS maps of your area from say the the 50s and 60s can be very enlightening...

Best bet is try to get out regardless of whether it's for photography or not...maybe get out your OS map and explore all the nooks and crannies of your local area and see what's there...I think we have all driven past public footpath signs but never stopped to walk them...Now is the time to do...

Just had an email re game shooting...apparently driven shooting will not be permitted, but rough shooting and pest control can continue as long as people follow the corvid guide line..if that's the case, it's hard to see how photography could not continue...No mention of the travel aspect though....

Thanks for that..although I have been dipping my toe in and out of photography for years, I consider myself very much a beginner, and it's the software and post processing side of things that's really alien to me... Edited to add, Just checked the price on Capture One and can't really justify...

Not sure if it affects many on here, but I think Press photography is still allowed?

I think many people are asking this about their favourite hobby/ pass time / interest....Mine is metal detecting and even within the community, there is a broad range of what people see as acceptable even though it's been given the ok (with restrictions) by the Gov dept concerned...

I wish to shoot tethered while doing some coin photography to be able to check the focus better on a larger screen. I am using a Canon 50D couple with a Lenovo Tab4 10 plus and a standard 1m cable....I down loaded DSLR Controller and I am getting the hang of it... At the moment, the images are...

Could it be the trigger rather than the flash?

Given the rubbish and lies that appear on FB, it would not surprise me if those pics weren't from the first lockdown....

Very strange...I buy stuff very regularly on there but never had this happen to me...it will be interesting to see what others say....
