I didn't like the winner, didn't really evoke any emotion in me. Too much foreground for it to feel like a landscape (although looking at some of the other entries the term "landscape" is applied very loosely - leaves, washing lines etc.) and it's much too cramped. My favourite was The Birds...

Xbox has great parental controls, you can set it up so they can only talk to and be friends with people they know. And also add time limits and timetables to control screen time.

Find out what all his mates have. That's the way most important factor. If they're the only kid in the village with a ps4 then they'll be left out.

My olympus em10 mkii is tiny with the pancake lens on and takes some cracking photos.

Hi - could do with a bit of help I have an enlarging lens on the way. I bought it as a bit of fun, It's an Industar 90u 75mm. It has an m42 adaptor already fitted, I was going to just use my m42 to mft adaptor to mount the lens on my MFT Olympus. I now realise that the lens is fixed focus and...
