Were you in a suit? They don't challenge people who look as if they ought to be there because they can't be sure they won't get hassle from the estates office. Also I generally used a pocket camera, which doesn't get the same response.

I used to photograph around there all the time and never had the security people bother me. It probably helped that I was in a suit with a tie and sometimes carrying a briefcase.

I've stopped using my cruise control. I've got a limiter on my car so I just need to set my required maximum and drive normally. Feels much safer to me and I don't have to keep adjusting the cruise speed to allow for traffic conditions.

I agree. Driving around waving a big law book out of your window is outrageous behaviour. :exit:

There's some advice here: https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-add-a-date-time-stamp-to-a-digital-photo I haven't tried it myself but the basic premise seems reasonable.

Here's a thought. You're not allowed to fly within fifty metres of someone. Few people can throw a largish stone accurately much further than ten metres. So if you can knock a drone out of the sky with a stone the operator was being naughty. Would he report the episode? :thinking:

I currently have six bags from a Hasselblad Press bag with a couple of bodies and three lenses to a little Crumpler holding a Panasonic G2 and three primes. I think I'm a bit of a gear head! :wideyed:

I've got both full frame dSLRs and M43 mirrorless. There are some pictures that I've got with the big Canons that simply wouldn't be as good if taken with a M43 camera; there are also some pictures I've got with a M43 camera that wouldn't have happened with a FF Canon dSLR. In my view, the use...

I've bought one camera and, seperately, one lens from MPB. I've also sold various items to them. All transactions proceeded smoothly so, in general terms, I'd recommend them. On the other hand, the latest of these transactions took place three years ago; companies change staff and systems so...

On an Internet forum? :thinking:

That's silly. Cows don't eat chickens; the feathers tickle their throats. :confused:

I think you'll find that the trouble is actually younger people who drive too fast. Anyway, there are Smart Cars and then there are other Smart Cars...

The trick is not to snore! :D

Thanks to Woof and Mark for those kind words; they provide an accurate indicator of quality in a poster. :cool: As to my posting pictures on TP, if you look hard enough you'll find a few scattered around, though they probably won't reach your high standards.

It has less than 12,000 members, which tells you all you need to know about its relevance. I sometimes visited the gallery when it was based in Bath's Milsom Street. Rows of "technically perfect" 20x16 prints each more boring than the previous one. The only good thing was the basement cafe...
