Andy Parkinson. If people don't watch him, he's relitively new to youtube but he's a judge on the WPY, won it multipul times and is a nat geo photographer. Gavin Hardcastle. Tom Heaton. Stuart Wood. Richard Campion. James Popsys. Courtney Victoria. Jared Polin Are probably the youtubers that I...

Sorry I missed all the messages folks! A quick summary: Mac decided to just not be able to read them anymore, incredibly fustrating. They were readable on my forensic windows machine (which is why I said they were dead) as the software I used can sometimes read dead drives (as long as they're...

Very true. Perhaps better words would be -- dead on the Mac. Sounds much more drematic. I did some research and stack overflow suggested the fsck trick but didn't work - annoyingly. That's good you've never had problems, 99% sure it's user error, at least I tried the turn off and back on again...

I have always used a mixture of operating systems.. Hackintosh back in the day, a few second hand macs and macs at school. However I have never felt I needed to throw this useless POS out of the window as I do now. A combination of this Mac and my travel Macbook Air M1 (another POS) have...

I always feel this when I buy, from £5 through to my R5 purchase. Been needing to buy a new car for months, but I have been putting it off because it's such a hefty purchase, I am already regretting it. haha.

I just stupidly renewed my Photographic package with Adobe a week or two ago. I never use their cloud storage, nor any other cloud storage as it's simply saving your data on someone elses computer... I want to control my data, as much as physically possible, social media is the only thing where...

I have this song on repeat at the moment. Beartooth are one of my favourite bands, so easy to connect to their lyrics. They're a metalcore band but this song isn't too heavy. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPHrNWaTJ1E

Really sad to hear this. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. All the good ones go too soon! R.I.P

I know a few creatives who went to Maderia last year and their photos were awesome. I'd love to go one day. Enjoy your trip! I am off to the Isle Of Mull for a week of otter photography in June and then an additonal week in Glencoe, my fitness is that of a dying whale so I am anticipating a...

School is probably the worse environment in the world. I remember every year my school had their group photo and once it was put on display I was always scratched out. The photo wasn't ever changed... I understand the emotional stress those kids felt, I just hope they realise school sucks and...

It works on the laptop just like on the phone. So, you're right, if you want a person outside your contacts then you need their number.

I am 33, and seeing this post made me check mine, wow I need a higher paying job haha.... Although I am likely not to live to 71 (if it does go up to that), I really need to start paying more into my private pension and understand the best way to invest.

Enhanced DBS check, a portfolio, schools are most likely to use local professional studio photographers - if they don't have internal ones, public liability insurance, decent gear. Likely also need some type of consent form. Might be better off grinding your way though offering photographic...

Some fantastic shots - the polar bear just shows the fragility of the world! My goal one day is to win in WPOTY!

If you're to get one second hand, it's always worth confirming with the seller it is no longer attached to the sellers (or anyone elses) apple account and then re-install the operating system once it arrives. Perhaps I am paranoid, but the industry I work in, it's all about privacy and...
