It's always the way when you see something you wanted to photogrpah. I recall going somewhere and thinking I don't need my camera for a short trrip and then unstable air appeared and I missed some great Cb clouds . I saw a lot of Red Kites off the M40 .Chinnor and Watlington and they were...

....then read the instructions... :D

What make did you get ? We have an LG 50" smart TV after consulting the Which ? magazine. Just not enough room for the 55" in the living room corner by the entrance to the dining room. They spy on viewers do they ? Yes, setting up these smart TVs is so frustrating and...

She's either perfect or she isn't. It's an 'absolute' adjective.:D By definition, there can be no degrees of perfection If something isn't perfect then it's imperfect. Seriously,though,it's one of the most common mistakes you'll hear. Antiques Roadshow.."It's one of the most perfect examples...

This clip has gone viral. These dogs in China were stolen from the same village and destined for the meat trade but they escaped and, it seems, one of the corgis led the group back to their homes. The news is so grim these days,on all fronts,I thought this might bring some light relief. Video...

I've just Goggled.. "what are bots ? Robots. There's a video about them. I'll look at it tomorrow.

On my iMac now. Just got the message re "Maybe impersonating Talkphotography" . I then clicked "Show details" which I hadn't done knowing that I wouldn't understand the language, anyway" One suggestion was that "the certificate may have expired". Obviously not. I then had the option to...

Earlier today, I created another thread .."TP Access Problens " not being aware of this one until Norkie pointed me here. The replies show the problem is still current. I assume it's a case of just keep trying to log on. One more query. Why can I log on with my iPad but not my iMac ? The...

I wasn't able to get online yesterday. I'm currently posting from my iPad which is difficult because of the small text and lack of the ability to use some tools . I can't get on with my iMac atall. Yesterday, I clicked on my iMac TP icon and there was a 'ripple' along the top bar and nothing...

My wife and I also have rucksacks for carry-on and ,as with Pete, we put them under the seat infront. Much easier, it saves that struggle to get bags in and out of the overhead.

Agree. I do the same. As Pete mentioned re his wife, my wife carries one or two of the lenses. Usually the 70-200 and the 17-40mm. I have my 24-105 on my 5D11 out on my lap at a window seat which we always pay extra for. I know which seats to book re a good full window view1-8 but never 6...

Ok..Thanks,I didn't know that. I've just tried it. Alexa..volume 7. Loud. Volume 4. About right. Depends on where the Amp volume is set. I'll experiment. You've just enhanced the quality of my life.. :) I'd still have replaced the white AC adaptor with a black one but the unit can go back...

It's good Sky told you about no-fee cancellation re the price rise. I used to have Sky years ago just for the football. No other sport but I had to buy the "Family package,too with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse cartoons...lol. I think I paid about £30 a month then it went to £50. It would have...

Received a black AC power cable for my Amazon Echo unit..4th Generation earlier on. ...£10. As with the Echo Dot, Echo Show etc. it comes with a white cable no matter the colour of the unit. In the living room I have the large Echo unit, which is black, and it sits on top of the black hi-fi...

f/1.2..It's all there in your last sentence "They seem to rely on customers not looking elsewhere even when they make ridiculous increases in price" Not a case of 'seem to'....they do. I don't know how they actually work things out but I'd imagine it's like dealing with customers wanting...
