    We watched The Grand Budapest Hotel tonight, recorded on Film4.
    A really entertaining film, a lot of very good humour.

    Hi All,
    I watched an excellent biopic last night (Sky Cinema) Love and Mercy about the life of beach boys legend Brian Wilson if you like biopics or music history in general you’ll love this film as always up to the individual taste…….:cool:

    Geoff.

    I must get to see this. Pet Sounds was the first LP I ever bought. Brian Wilson was one of the top song writers of the last century.

    Pixel rates are not the be all and end all these days as they already exceed the quality you could get with film cameras. When you see the the cameras used by the press etc, they do not necessarily
    used the greatest pixel count, but it’s how the camera handles those it has. It really depends on how large you would expect to blow up or crop an image. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the Fuji
    as I have no experience of other makes.

    Too true, summed up well here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RnEo74Fp4c

    I take all of my photos in Raw mode.
    I transfer them to a temporary folder, on a dedicated hard drive just for photos.
    Go through deleting those which are out of focus, duplicates etc. Then rename them
    The remainder go into Lightroom to be processed
    Followed by exporting to another folder as Jpegs.
    I then either transfer them to a folder for the year they were taken, labelled to where they were taken.
    In that folder I will also have a sub folder of the original RAW files.
    Aviation photos go into dedicated Aviation folder. Labelled again as to where they were taken.
    Some pictures I will upload to Photobucket. I will also backup to an external drive, in a USB docking station.

    This may sound very convoluted, but it is quicker to do than it sounds. It also makes it easy to find photos

    I’m still using the entry level Nikon D3300. It lets me take some decent pictures. I was thinking of replacing it recently with a camera twice the price.
    That would still only let me produce pictures of the same quality, but provide more features. The camera is only a means of recording images.
    I watch a lot of Youtube videos by Mike Browne, and am going to one of his seminars in London in a couple of weeks. He has a very good way
    of explaining things.
    For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIqcdOW-Jlg

    After not going for many years, we spent a day at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, Suffolk. During their annual Tudor re-enactment week.

    Statements like this really peeve me, would people like me turning up at their home and demanding to walk around and photograph their possessions as if I had some divine right to? Because that is what it is tantamount to doing.

    Totally different I would have said. Although I had forgotten this has been discussed before : http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?113903-Restoration-veil-of-secrecy&highlight=secrecy

    No problem here, but I only use Firefox.
    Maybe you need to run something like Malwarebytes, or CCleaner

    Well, she is quite possibly the most condescending person on the planet, and incredibly irritating. She rolls her eyes at every opportunity, and sits there shaking her head with her eyes closed while in the middle of a discussion, which is not only rude, but makes her look mentally ill.

    She must have been taking lessons from the equally obnoxious Anna Soubry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXUfGC4U0PQ

    My suggestion is to hang onto it. It will, in the fullness of time acquire a rarity and curiousity value that will make it tradeable on Ebay. I’ll take a punt and open the bidding with 10 pence.

    I still have my original blue hardback passport. When I eventually get around to renewing my present one, it will go inside that.

    Very nice pictures. The Sony camera seems to work very well.
