These are really good. Your film ones are nuts as well.

When you see it etc...

Lovely calm night on the Tay tonight.

Perfect for some adventurous soul to paddle board out on the high tide and watch the sunset.

oh wow..

Heads up to anyone with an iPhone 6S or later – Lightroom mobile lets you shoot in DNG format...

Thanks for the headsup - don't have a 6S myself, but this is useful info for some friends of mine.
Is Lightroom mobile the only app that is allowed to provide a raw / dng file?

No, they've opened it up to developers. VSCO is being updated imminently to take advantage of it as well.

Lovely. Did you change any of the colours?

Not really, just added a touch of contrast and clarity to the RAW file.

Thanks for the info.
That's good news!

Candidates for this week's comp that didn't make the cut.

All great, especially the last one. Just been out now to get my entry..

question. is it the case that specialist shops will look upon anyone they consider to be clueless as fair game for a stripe up?

i took an impact damaged lense to a respected camera repair company in london and was told that because of the damage the cost of repair would be greater than its value.

"we can post it back to you for £10.00 or we can dispose of it for you" read the email.

i decided to collect it and as i was leaving i mentioned to the gentleman that was seeing me out that i was suprised it couldnt be repaired. he asked which model it was and another feeler technical question i didnt know the answer to so i just showed him the lense. he quickly looked it over through the plastic packaging and replied,

"yeah they have bought out a new one since this one, if its damaged, you may as well throw it in the bin"

so i go home take a picture of it put it on a famous auction website and somebody has just offered over £250 for it.

i wonder how often they get away with little scams like that?
is it too harsh to think of it as a scam?
could it have been a genuine mistake on their part? twice?

their name has been mentioned a few times in this thread with all good said about them but this is a bit wrong i think.

Depends on the lens.
As far as I know, lenses vary massively in their repaiability, usually for the worse if there's a lot of plastic.

The fact someone has offered you money for it suggests they need some of it for a repair so it's probably possible.

It's probably more a case of it not being worth a London repair place's time more than anything, or they'd just rather spend time/resources fixing £10,000 zooms...

I'd be shocked if they were flogging write-offs on eBay - it's really not worth the scandal, especially with the money they make anyway.

okay i wont take it to heart..................... and relax.

thanks

Photo comp outing to Tottenham.

Cliché photo, I know, but pretty epic sunsets here in LA:

Ooh I like those. Such a good spot.

Great tones in these too. The second one is bangin'.

is that wild park in brighton?

No its on the river deben in Suffolk

Sorry, I meant a photo of yours from pages ago with an MTB in it.

These suffolk ones are really nice, especially the first one. And, very obviously not Brighton ;)

Oh no, that's Epping forest. Thanks.
