A great series Trevor. Hope you did not have to start too early in the morning- the only times I managed this was from about 6:00! And in both cases that too was Southern Hawkers. I wonder what ...

The other reason to consider taking a small faster lens is interiors. If you are into such things, Greek churches are both fascinating and fairly gloomy.

Thanks for the link. I do some presentations to a beginners photo group, and whilst I hava a simple slide on the "artistic" RYB,  and RGB ( which seems to emerge as a human vision model in the ...

My original step into digital was Panasonic G1, just as G2 was being launched. Why? - it felt right in the hand, didn't want  the video of the G2 and wanted 14-45 rather than 14-42 kit lens. Then ...

Placed 7^th in the challenge. Old Admiralty Building, Horseguards, London

Placed 36^th in the challenge.

To my eyes none of the images you've posted quite nail it. I don't have Lightroom, but have had a play in PSE. The key points for me are the lamp post 70% across at bottom, and the central bridge ...

There's a lot of advice above on books / on-line sources. I m going to take a different line. First, remember an old trainer's adage I hear, I forget I see, I remember I do, I understand Then note ...

Whilst I agree with your overall sentiment that in camera provision of lens corrections is in general an advantage, I am afraid I disagree with your view that it applies to raw files. Yes jpegs ...

Thanks, that is definitely it as other images shown there are also in the set. I agree that mine appear reversed. I assumed all had been mounted consistently, but for some that have text, and for ...

I have acquired a set of 50 slides that are supposedly from a Kodak photography course, probably late 1960s.  I am told there was a booklet with them, now lost. Out of curiousity I would like to ...

Placed 3^rd in the challenge. Minori, Amalfi coast, Italy

Wel, that makes 6.5 billion and 1. (See original post and linked article.)

i'm not sure how genuine the claim is, but an interesting short article on photographic firsts https://trov.com/blog/photographic-firsts

So, how long before someone makes a 9 x  16 ratio TV ?

You set me thinking. 80 watts is about 1 kWh per day if permanently on - I'm UK based so not sure of US energy prices, but say 10-15c per day? Then there's CO2 - possibly more contentious, but some ...
