I have Integral CFast cards as well - I find them to be the 'budget' card in my mix - for day to day photography they're great - but If I'm doing my 1DX2 at maximum FPS and full RAW - they are a bit slower than my Sandisk cards. So if you're only looking to use them for landscapes - I'd have no...

I'm at a point (finally) where I'm about to leave the valleys of Wales following the long-delayed sale (by an acrimonious sister) of my parents property. I'm narrowing down my options, and have been researching Rightmove and all the property websites for some time, so if anyone here is from...

Completed sales on ebay suggest £25 to £250 depending on model and condition. So could be worth next to nothing, or could be worth a decent meal out at a restaurant a couple of times...

Just to re-iterate the above - the LPA ceased to be at the time of your father's passing. The actions of someone acting on the donor's behalf are tied to only doing things in the best interest of the donor. You're no doubt going through a lot emotionally at the moment, but it would be useful to...

Definitely a blackbird - I’ve been watching her fly in and out, and most definitely still around! There’s always something to see in the garden isn’t there ?

To be fair the garden probably has a load of other better nesting places for a blackbird aside from the top of a wobbly wisteria that's falling away from the fence. It's mostly a very bird friendly garden, with feeders, water, a little waterfall and more. There's 3 birdboxes (Too smallf or a...

I’d probably hazard a guess of about 8-10 inches wide from outer edge to outer edge. The garden does have its fair share of blackbirds - that was my initial thought, and they were active in the garden as usual after I’d come back into the house - so fingers crossed they’ll go back, and I’ll stay...

There’s a wisteria monster in the garden, and with the house being for sale, and it shooting in all directions like it does every year, I got the ladder out and started to give it a trim. Suddenly spotted this - and stopped immediately. (Anyone know what chicks they might be?) hoping i haven’t...

Those that like the manual lenses - there's a couple on Amazon clearance at the moment that might be of interest: At the time of writing there appear to be 4 x 14mm Nikon fit at £229.99 minus 30% - so about £160 for a £350 RRP lens...

No doubt you're right :) But some people like the branded item... And it's cheap for one of these. I wouldn't buy it - but for that much off MRP someone might be interested. I know there's plenty of bargain hunters on here!

Just thought I'd post this in case it was of any interest. The green screen from Manfrotto - the LLB7622 - is usually over £500 retail, and £400 used - Amazon have one in the Warehouse as 'used acceptable' for £277.97 with an extra 30% off at checkout on their clearance sale - so comes in at...

I've used these to reglaze my Oakley prescription sunglasses with original Oakley lenses. I can see they do the major lens brands too. Plenty of options on lens brand/thickness/colour/coatings. https://www.fashioneyewear.com/en-uk/pages/glasses-reglaze-guide

If you have Adobe Lightroom you can adjust export settings to a certain px size and a certain dpi of your choice.

That's a good call - POA can be applied for online, although the application is laborious in terms of the amount of info it needs. I think it doesn't NEED a solicitor like a will does, as the steps are fairly straightforward, and there's an online guide. However if you don't have the confidence...

This is where a solicitor can give sound advice rather than google search - if the 'two girls' die just before you - their estate won't receive anything from your estate if you die very soon after, even if your will says they get everything. (Additionally, you may not have time between them...
