Leon

i've followed the slo mo guys for years, this video is camera related, shows how much goes into taking a picture with a DSLR, 

well yes BP I would too but I was talking more Windoz than Mac  

 

Leon do you use Open Office? how does it stack up against word etc and is it cloud based?

i've used it a few times for basic stuff, no idea about the cloud....

welcome colin

for the sarcasm, I made it a post  

Welcome Beth

unless you are a business..

not sure I can post a link as the page has nude portraits but I have warned you, if you want to take it down please do.

but please have a search for AtilaTheHun on Flickr, some stunning portraits, mind there are no youngsters watching.

my very brief time at the camera club we used the Neewer ones, seemed plasticky in the hand bur worked 100% of the time on the night (except a girl who could not get them to work on her bridge, I think it was a HS30 though that could of been user error?)

I have sold 3 cards, all the same picture, they now owe me £0.74

it is such a massive site though I'm not sure anyone would have much success without uploading thousands of pictures?

welcome

a few of you will remember I had sold a couple of greeting cards on my Redbubble page, http://www.redbubble.com/people/mrwall

today I got an email telling me someone else had purchased the same Greetings card, then I saw how many views it had.... 

1400 views on a site that has literally MILLIONS of works on it.... could it be the title?

the rest of my images have between 50-200 views, how strange?

I do own some vinyl, but nothing to play it on, brother in law converted to MP3 using his mixing decks

With good headphones you hear parts of your music you have never heard before........

go to tesco or asda where they have display stands, the make your mind up. good headphones bring music to life.... then again if i lived alone i'd turn my bose system to no11

I thought my Audio Technica headphones were good until my son bought me my Sennheiser set for a significant birthday, never used anything else since!

I do wonder how much difference there can be between £80 and £500 headphones..... mine are really amazing

nothing to do with photography I know... my wonderful wife got me a pear of Sennheiser headphones for Xmas

wow, what a difference, I thought my older JVC ones were good but these just blow me away, the music quality is just epic, 

they certainly help with these long miserable winter evenings..

anyone else a big music fan?

done

ah... cars... I mainly owned jap/german  with the exception of a FIAT Punto (insert many swear words here______) a peugeot 309, not that bad actually... although so far my most unreliable car was a 1989 Golf

Leon, I think it is the panning and zooming effect in video using still imagery, I think..?

 

Ron

aye, I googled it

Very enjoyable - I even forgive you the milky water and the Ken Burns effect...

who's Ken Burns?

That's not stictly true Leon. I retired two years ago after having been a self employed courier for over twelve years, in that time I drove close on 750,000 miles... about 60,000 miles a year. I actually used the Peugeot Partner Tepee I'm driving now in my last couple of years of working. I get about 54 mpg out of it, I doubt I would get that many mpg out of a similar sized petrol engine. Diesels seem to go on forever and when I was doing all those miles I probably saved a lot of money when compared to running a petrol vehicle. If you drive less than 12,000 miles a year I would agree with you. Now I'm retired I don't do many miles now but I still think I'm better off keeping the Peugeot as long as it keeps going and doesn't need expensive repairs... and besides I like my car and I like diesels.

other than holidays I do about 100 miles a week..  I agree when I too was a courier I had a non turbo Berlingo it was pretty good (usually I would not touch anything French)

welcome along

I need to re do it and make the pictures widescreen...
