I suppose one could try your level best to have a spirited conversation on this topic but a  crooked fence would be inde-fence-able.

OOPS, typo! Should obviously have been 1/1000th of a second!! Apologies

Now ain't THAT the truth!!!

This image is very small. According to the EXIF information it is only 336x401 pixles. Did you resize it or crop only? If crop only: this is what the above image would have looked like in the ...

Fantastic, thanks kindly.

Really not important at all but I am curious: what is the meaning of the dots on the left hand side of all threads? They can be all white, all blue of part white, part blue. Marked on the ...

I do not use Eye AF so I am afraid I cannot help: sorry!

The camera does not have a slider that controls burst mode. The only slider that I am aware of is the focus range one on the lens: either Full or 3m to infinity. Are you perhaps talking of the ...

Hi Julian I am strictly a hobbyist photog so please take my comments for what they are worth... I much prefer the second shot. To my eye it is sharper and I also just like the fact that you can see ...

Thanks very much Courtney! And I do have a confession to make: I photograph the blue ones (Blue Eyed Darners) because they are the most plentiful around here PLUS they are most accommodating in ...

Thanks very much Greg: I certainly do not consider your eye "untutored"! And as for itching: I must admit I am absolutely not a spider/snake/bug person. But the dragonflies still look very benign ...

Heartfelt congrats to the missus and yourself David. What an incredible blessing to be able to celebrate milestones like these together: a gift beyond price. My own better half also celebrated her ...

OK, someone has to start the ball rolling.... I suppose it is important that we know our own foibles, weaknesses and preferences, and that applies to photography as well. Some time ago I started a ...

Well, if the Sony importers/agents wanted to they could certainly figure out where the mk v you got went from them and then find out to whom it was sold. This should give a good starting point to ...

Normally Cedar Waxwings are of the sleekest of birds.... but not after evening ablutions! This American Goldfinch looked much better after his earlier wash: a quick final fluff to get the last ...

I apologise: I really did not do much in terms of photography. We started rather early and only stopped for gas and breakfast. This is what our route looked like: * My riding companion lives in a ...

..safe and sound, 620km later. And that for BREAKFAST??!! I must be crazy! Thanks to all for all the safe wishes: it worked!

I have not yet invested in one of those. But the Panny is not a bad little travel cam for situations like this.

Thanks Mina: being safe always HAS to be a major, major objective while biking. If one does not accept that it is a high risk activity you  are being stupid. And being stupid on a bike is not a ...

Sounds like you are more logical and less OCD than some of us... The bike is now 12 years old and still looks great, even if I say so myself. Lots of good memories in the mirrors.
