I bought my first Mac recently, 24" iMac and the seller suggested leaving installing SL until the bugs are sorted out. Any SL users here and what do you think?

That's strange it's on my #3 key :).

yes you do get true IR using a filter, same as using a filter with an IR film camera really without the hassles of loading film. However, using a filter slows down the shutter speeds significantly to a point where trees and other foliage blur. This is not always a problem as I've seen some...

sorry I didn't get back to this thread earlier, my current ride is a 1988 Moto Guzzi Sport, pretty darn ugly but it's reliable and it was cheap...belated thanks to everyone else for the welcome.

I have an ETRS, does that help?

certainly sounds like your experience was demoralising and yes the general public will do that to you without even thinking about it. The problem with most of the public is that they can't tell the difference between a great photo and a snapshot. I don't know how many times I've seen people...

Interesting to read this thread, I wear verifocal glasses for close and short distance, can't see the image clearly when chimping without them. I am constantly on and off with the specs and I hate it. Fortunately I can use the camera with the diopter adjustment but low light and night work which...

I've just enlisted with an Australian company https://images.rovingeye.com/ and they offer 50-50.....haven't sold any yet, but if your not out there you never will.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that gets up Pro's noses! Having shot weddings in the past the camera pests really do make life difficult at times. Shooting weddings is stressful and the last thing you need is some inconsiderate wally 'doing his thing'. I think the best advice so far was to...

an excellent site, a good one for those that insist on the 'perfect picture' rule to have a look at. It comes across so well, those photographers love their work.

It's a sickening sound, the camera hitting the ground. I had that happen with my 300D onto a carpeted concrete floor, totalled the 18-55 lens...no great loss and I didn't bother getting the camera checked and it still works fine. Personally if the camera works as it did before why bother, save...

so nice to part of a forum where good grammer and spelling are up there in the priorities :geek: I did think about naming a particular country but thought better of it :D

a good score indeed, well done.....think yourselves lucky you're not living in Italy, I got slugged a 215 euro customs duty on a lens I have owned for six months. I had it sent out from Australia after moving as it needed repairs under warranty. It was either pay up or leave it to rot! Is my...

love the shot of the old pistol and part of me likes the ghostly look and another part would love to see more contrast...also really like the knife sharpener, lotsa contrast there. So here's my shot, three old folks in Rome sitting on the step of a very old doorway.

thanks for the welcome see you around :)
