    Travel Photography Project

    thread%20band%2000%20by%20James8Arthur,%20on%20Flickr'][/URL] I’ve been planning to make some sort of booklet/zine for quite some time. While I enjoyed putting together a photo book for the family many moons ago, I wanted to do something that felt more like me. It was the middle of last year...

    The price increase on CFexpress Cards WOW!!!

    Yes, I had just accepted that to get a near top notch gaming PC, I would probably have to drop down nearly 1K for Nvidia card. It looks like I'm holding off again for this year then, a silver lining being I will probably upgrade my D5300 - that too is is old as my PC, so looking forward to...

    The price increase on CFexpress Cards WOW!!!

    So now is not the time to start looking at gaming PC's? I can hold off for now but my system is getting really old in the tooth - a bit like me! It was memory that I was looking forward to splurging out on too - for things like video editing and the like.

    Where to buy memory cards from ?

    Always bought from Amazon without issues. Gigastone is the current brand I have in my camera, Think there's still a Sandisk in my Gopro (never used it this past trip).

    Tips for taking camera equipment through airports

    Because in October at New Delhi airport my Lowepro bag caused a stir. So my bag was pulled aside and I had to empty the full thing in front of the officer - batteries, go pros, pocket 3, mini torch, pens, house keys, padlocks, loose change, everything. they didn't say what alerted the xray...

    Tips for taking camera equipment through airports

    I'm just back from New Delhi. Departing from Heathrow T2 was an absolute breeze. Coming back, not so much, quite a few holds ups going through security at T3. My GoPro & Nikon batteries were put in a small plastic bag the night before going to the airport. Everything in my camera backpack was...

    Pen Displays anyone?

    I've currently got a 16" Xpen tablet, one without a display and I really can't get along with it. I've got my eye on one with a actual display. Xpen seem to be refreshing their range at the moment and the newest tablet is a 15.6" 4k OLED version. (£899). The one I had my heart set on before...

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    I think I might give this a go on my Asus laptop. Not that bothered about buying the latest AcdSee - got an old version on my PC, and been pretty loyal - used it since it first came out but it does pause sometimes between photos, full of stuff I don't use too.

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    Train fares God Damnit!! I paid for my Leeds to KGX leg weeks ago, very reasonable price of £24. So I've been waiting patiently for the return part of the journey to become available. And it has. £64! It just won't drop, it's been like this nearly two weeks and I have to book soon. What a rip off!

    Landscape verses portrait

    Both are nice. I'm the opposite I usually shoot portraits in landscape, very rarely portrait but each to their own.

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    For now. I'm leaving it, or at least putting things on pause. The money was to go towards dental implants but the specialist has told me I'm not suitable unless I have extra work done at the back of my mouth - a lot more than the 25% cash free lump sum would cover. Oh well, just another 10...

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    I got word back today from my work pension provider (it's Scottish Widows) regarding my Flexi-Access-Drawdown. They don't offer it :( They also sent along forms for full encashment or Annuity options, neither of which I wanted (sigh). And it's no wonder my emails took so long to reach them...
