I had an idea to take a 1/4" grub screw and butterfly nut then drive the screw into a small fallen piece of tree branch and then attach to my monopod which will be using a spike to sink into the ground and use that as a portable perch. Before I do that , would there be such thing as a telescopic...

Brilliant footage! I might try it again tonight, hopefully I don't get chased away

I visit a small nature reserve where badgers now have a sett in the far end but I've noticed by claw markings that they travel around the reverse quite a lot. It's mainly open tall grasses with some small wooded areas and narrow foot paths. From previous experiences where I have come across a...

I purchased an Epson XP 970 printer and it's really difficult to get b&w prints without a cast - is there a printer that can print b&w accurately that's around £150 max?

I live in the sticks (east of England) and I've been out at different times of the day with my camera between dawn and sunset and I've noticed a drop in wildlife activity, mainly mammals. I've hardly heard a muntjac bark let alone see them and it's still rutting season just about. The birds are...

That's what I want to achieve but most people use a field monitor that can record so wondered if I could achieve the same thing but using a capture device hooked up to my camera and phone.

I see there are some expensive options to record your EVF, which I don't want to do as I'll only need to do every now and then. Would it be possible to link up a video capture device to my A7RII and then record the EVF on my phone?

I love dogs, especially my Sprockers, but it makes me pretty uneasy when I'm out in the field and off lead dogs decide to run at me, it's become quite common to have this happen where I live. I suspect the dogs aren't used to seeing people carrying the gear I use and maybe feel intrigued or...

Thanks for the tips! @TCR4x4 do you mean you use flexible spot small? I've just played with this option and it seems like it may be useful in the said situations. I also see Lock-On Expand Flexible Spot could be useful too.

I finally got my mitts on a Sony 200-600mm to go with my A7R ii. I took it for a test drive yesterday and missed some nice shots due to the AF focusing on foreground objects such as low hanging branches. Any tips without using manual focus to get my setup to focus where I want?

Currently I use little battery lights for when I light a macro scene but flash provides a nicer look for what I want. I was playing around with a new Godox 350o and my room was low lit and decided to bounce the light off the wall behind me and it gave me stunning results. When I use a soft box...

I think I've seen people add their Flickr images to a post, if this is possible, what is the code to add to the post body?

So the problem was that my Mac isn't giving any meaningful errors so I tested it on a Windows PC with the Epson scan software and it was telling me the lid wasn't closed as I had a slide holder in there from my DSLR scanning kit and it must have been keeping the lid open a bit too much. Now it's...

I have a used V300 Photo scanner and while using my Mac (Catalina), if I choose "scan mode: transparency negative" and then overview, it starts to scan but then an orange light starts blinking and I get an error saying "overview scan timed out". Has anyone had this problem?

That's very helpful, thanks for your input!
