    Favourite photography YouTubers

    Don't think he's been mentioned yet, and he's a bit of an anti-YouTuber with a refreshingly dry sense of humour - Craig Roberts (e6 Vlogs) https://www.youtube.com/@e6Vlogs Very much about the photography, and only a little about the gear. Does a lot of walkabout, street and rural, often around...

    Adobe black Friday deal

    It's the only way to buy it, really. Always keep the item in your wishlist, set it so it stays there even after purchase, and set price alerts. It does get reduced for Black Friday and other sales like Prime Day. But I think Black Friday gets the best price. The 1TB Lightroom subscription...

    Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II

    Personally, if I was using it for travel, I'd go for a UE Boom. They're the size (and shape) of a beer can, and are waterproof, and generally very tough. If you got the Bose, you would then need a case for it, and still wouldn't be keen on just sticking it in a bag to carry it. The UE Boom is...

    MBP Battery must have "expanded"

    You shouldn't leave lithium batteries discharged for lengthy periods. If you're not going to use it for a while, always charge the battery. It's when they're severely discharged that things go bad. Batteries built in to devices such as laptops, are managed by the device. They will shut down...

It describes itself as blogging content management software, but it builds static web pages that you build and update on your computer then upload the files...

    Website ideas

    Yeah, I figured you might be restricted by the theme you've chosen. Personally I would go with something that only covered, say 60-70% width. A slow fading gallery would look good, just showing one image at a time. But maybe that's not possible. But if you did do something like that, you...

    Website ideas

    No problem. Elsewhere, I wouldn't say you needed to replace or combine a booking and contact form, just as long as if you have both, they are in the main menu and clearly labelled. For me though, the portfolio on the homepage is a little overwhelming, and not helped by the darkening hover...

    Just a little note regarding your contact page. The URL is incorrect: https://www.lwsportsphotography.com/new-page/ Therefore, the 'Get In Touch' button on your About page brings up a 404 Error style page, as it tries to call what I would assume is the intended URL...

    What outdoor/hill walking trousers?

    Indeed, the amount to choose from makes it very difficult. As far as I know, only Cotswold Outdoor and Nordic Outdoor sell Fjallraven in Keswick. I go in them regularly, but stock is very limited in the trouser department and I've never bought from them. Still good to go and try some on to...
