I have pre-ordered a Mavic Air 2 .... should be with me in the middle of May..... never flown a drone before so really looking forward to it :)

These are pin sharp - You're not helping my bank balance!!!!

I was pointed to this thread when I asked about posting about my Charity challenge that I am doing in June......... In case anyone is interested or feels that they may be able to help in any small way then here goes....... Read on!!!! As a mad cyclist a friend and I are cycling from Madrid to...

On the macro shots that you guys post with the RX10's (III or iv) are you having to use another lens or Raynox or something? And what about flash?

Just basing my opinion on what I am seeing on this thread between the two camera's.........

I have to say that taking the images on here as an example - The Mk iii def looks sharper than the Mk iv.......

This is fantastic!!! Well done!! A friends daughter and son in law did something similar with a 'normal white van' - They've done a timelapse of the build if it's of interest for anyone. If you want the link removed then happy to do so if you don't feel it's appropriate on your thread...

Have a great time!!! I'm thrilled that I've got the City on my doorstep, although I rarely go in these days :)

As an astrophotographer - For me it is processing all of the way.... without processing I'd have nothing but a black screen as you can see here..... A processing map - From start to finish by Sara Wager, on Flickr

IS is totally irrelevant as you will be using it on a tripod, always.... so that makes like a little cheaper. If you've not already done so, join a forum such as StarGazersLounge as there's a few people on there using camera lens's. The general feeling is that 24mm is about the sweet spot for...

This is a decent 80mm scope for sure - Do buy from a reputable dealer such as First LIght Optics, who have an excellent returns policy. Sadly nothing in Astro seems without its QC issues at times and a good retailer is worth their weight in gold. You will probably need a field flattener to go...

Definitely get the book recommended above.... Its something of an imagers bible. Now the question...... What do you want to image? Planets? Moon? Deep sky objects (such as nebula or galaxies)? I ask as these things each have different requirements and one set up doesn't fit all sadly. For...

Wait for it!! .............. Charlie and the Chocolate factory ...................... :) But in Spanish!!

I use an Elephone P9000 dual sim - It's a great phone and the dual sim capability is something that I really need out here in Spain. I've had no reliability issues with it at all

While freshly mowed grass is up there among my favourite smells.... I am also rather partial to petrol and tarmac :)
