Happy & Sad Water Filter Canon R6, RF50mm f1.8 STM, 1/2000s, f/1.8, ISO 800

I have to confess what I was nearly stumped utterly this month and acknowledge that it's a bit of a cop out but the books are a treasured memory to me and have a bit of a story behind them. My Mum taught me to read before school with those books along with Orlando and many others that I've...

Memory In Print Canon R6, RF 50mm F1.8 STM - f/2.8, 1/640s, ISO 400

Both Sides Now Canon R6, RF 50mm f1.8, ISO800, f/2.8, 1/8000s

Couldn't be more happy with my setup still. It's so much quieter (little to no fan ramp up in normal use) compared to the old iMAc. I almost bought a 15" Raspberry Pi brand display to go with my Raspberry Pi tinkering but in the end bought a Dell S2425HS 24" screen which is 1920x1080...

I was a desperate man this month. The guys surfacing our street seem to put up with a lot of complaints so me appearing with my camera didn't help. I did try and explain "blah, blah picture competition etc" but I don't think the message got a sympathetic response. :)

Big Machine - Canon R6, 50mm f1.8 - ISO100, f / 3.5, 1/160s

Just a quick note on that X-Plane demo, it is possible to fly with keyboard and mouse by clicking in centre of the screen and using mouse movements to pitch up/down and bank left / right but it's as horrible as sounds. Realistically, it would take a few hours to settle on a configuration, that...

Dammit, every time Raymond makes an interesting and useful pointer to some kit, my credit card cringes :) Here's my Speed Test on the OWC, looks to be consistent.

Update from me on my rig @Sniffer , I went for the OWC 1M2 external drive caddy as recommended above. To my absolute amazement, a 4TB NVME turned up in my Christmas stocking (which was nice!). Installation took about 5 minutes and the only complaint I have is the permanently on white LED which...

Based on my daughter's smug attitude when discussing Christmas pressies, I believe the OWC caddy is getting here from the US in less than 10 days despite what they say on their website. Hope that helps a bit.

Apple Studio display arrived, actual Mac Mini is still 4-8 days out for delivery. As ridiculous as it sounds, won't be opening until Christmas day along with the family and their gifts :)

Hi All, Should it be of interest to those here, I pressed the button on the Apple Studio Display and M4 Mac Mini (24GB / 512GB) today. The screen at least needs to see me out. My pre New Year's resolution now is avoid even looking at lenses etc for the whole of 2025 (not that I cold afford...

Wheels Canon R6, RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 at 50mm, ISO 3200, f/5.0 1/13s

It's a thank you for the heads-up from me too. Incredibly, one of the few things I want that is cheaper than last year!
