Well fancy that!!! Somebody from Wales who shares my surname!!! My wife's surname didn't change and that caused all sorts of problems to start with! Howard

Just up the road from you should be a path which takes you to the top of the mountain which will give you give some stunning panaoramas, also not far are the remains of some neolithic(?) round houses. If you wanted a gentle and flat walk there's Newry Beach in Holyhead with a wide vista over the...

Hi, Excuse my ignorance and my butting in, but I thought all choughs had red bills (and red legs)! I didn't know that they were becoming scarce, what a great shame! I took this in South Stack, Holyhead about 11 years ago and have seen them there quite frequently in the past. Regretfully I have...

Beautiful shots, of both landscape and dog. I'd like to put a "like" against all of them, however I'll limit it to your last post! Howard

Hi, @Box Brownie Thanks for your reply, apologies for the delay in replying. I, too, have looked round for solutions but there doesn't seem to any feasible in my opinion. The only sensible thought I've had is that I shall have to change my methods, move my position and stance more! "Zoom with...

Good evening, As an octogenarian I have some minor problems with my bones, in particular arthritis in both knees! As one who likes to photograph wild flowers when they appear in spring I am finding it increasingly difficult to bend my knees to get down to flower level, I am therefore looking...

Thanks Neville, that's exactly the sort of information I was wanting. My apologies that it's taken me several days to reply. Howard

I don't follow any as such but I watch from time to time JasonJones Photography and DGriff both because of where they are based and the locations that they visit! I have some, very naïve, questions about YouTube channels. If I subscribe to any channel do I have to pay and what benefits do I...

Welcome from a fellow "oldie". II have an old DSLR which I like to use but have recently taken to use a Canon G10 because of the weight difference and my arthritic joints. As somebody else has said it depends on what images you want to take, I tend to take anything that catches my eye, so I...

I have some questions about Apple iCloud, so I hope I'm in the correct forum to ask the questions! I have an old Apple iPhone 8 with iCloud on it, I also have iCloud for Windows on my Desktop PC. I thought, perhaps in ignorance, that they would synchronise. It seems, however, that they don't...

Can anyone recommend good and free de-hazing software? Please. Thanks, Howard

Despite what I said above I thought I'd try again with the IXUS, so when I had a walk yesterday evening I took it along with me A quiet country lane Dark clouds overhead A lost chick Still undecided! I also had another session with the Canon G10 in the garden the other day when...

Saturday evening we had a short walk along the towpath at Little Bollington. I thought I'd try out the IXUS in bright evening sunshine. and Bess, a lovely 12yr old collie, who decided to befriend us as long as I threw her her ball. All blown highlights I'm afraid! And awful shadows...

Re-reading this thread, it inspired me to dig out my gift IXUS860 and got these results from the garden and Not greatly impressed I must say! Howard
