Are those focal lengths the full frame equivalent..? If so, I think that might be more suitable than you might expect. I went there last year but only took a Sony RX100 vii, which has maximum full frame equivalent of 200mm but often wasn't long enough for me to get in as close as I'd have...

I recently traded in a couple of cameras and a few lenses at WEX and they ended up declining two of the lenses. One had noticeable fungus which I pointed out to them so they rejected immediately. The second had some sort of tiny blemish on the inside of the rear element which became apparent...

That's a shame (the second point, not the first)... As I was going to recommend York Bird of Prey Centre which is 12 miles away from the city centre. An extremely good day out and very welcoming of photographers. I've been two or three times and even got to hold a Golden Eagle. They are a...

My partner doesn't take any interest in my photography and when I used to post on Instagram the only times she commented was to criticise because they were black and white which she thinks is miserable. She really doesn't get black and white photos at all. There have been literally one or two...

Hi.... Bit of a long shot but I've just traded in some camera equipment and have two batteries from a Canon 5D that I no longer need (third party.... Duracell, in good condition). I was going to offer free of charge in the post but it seems posting batteries can be a bit troublesome, so instead...

I think it might be because it's a great location if there is a cloud inversion. The first time I went there was because I'd seen a cloud inversion photo on Flickr so wanted to experience that for myself and it wasn't too busy then (2015), but now gets extremely busy even before dawn.

I would add Bamford Edge to that list too. Great view looking towards Derwent Reservoir. Plus, depending how far north you want to go, Dovestone Reservoir is worth a visit too.

Never got out of the door and done that but have talked myself out of it early morning while still in bed. Also, I think there's only one occasion that I've arrived at my location and the weather was so bad it made me regret my decision to go out.

I bought an ipad a couple of years ago specifically for photo editing and encountered some issues when comparing what I saw on it's screen vs what I saw when viewed on other screens which made me question my editing. In the process I noticed the "Auto" button and now have it set to be applied...

Your phone defaults to it..? Is that something it has just decided to do by itself or something you have set up ?

No, I'm not using a VPN and as far as I'm aware nothing on my phone should have changed. I'm now wondering if my phone has contracted some kind of malware.

Hi.... If I try to view this site on my mobile phone and using my mobile data instead of wifi I get an error message on the site stating that my "IP address has been banned" Has anyone got any ideas why ?

Thanks Don.... Photography is purely a hobby to me and I get satisfaction and enjoyment from the whole process from start to finish, but only if I feel like I've done a good enough job, so the problem can be that if I'm seeing significantly differing end results depending where I view it, that...

Thanks... That's an interesting measure between a calibrated screen and ipad brightness. I read suggestions online as high as 80% but started myself at 70% but lately have gone down to 55% and 50%. I'll give 40% a try and see how I get on.

Thanks for the response... I don't have an "ultra contrasty" style that I'm trying to achieve but I do want a certain amount of contrast and in this instance so that the subject stands out a little bit from the background. This wasn't actually an overcast day, it was a clear and slightly frosty...
