iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
Why would you choose a tablet device to store your images? I'm currently looking at a Nexus 7" mark 2 with 32Gb memory. I've not found any tablet yet that has more. For me, shooting raw, that's less than 2 x 16Gb cards worth of images, assuming other stuff I need to be on the tablet uses some of ...

I don't own any Apple products, but I can't see them stumbling They are already stumbling. Take a look at their recent sales figures. Regards David David, we do not know what the future will bring, but saying that Apple is stumbling is a bit overstated….. Sales are not growing as before, and pr...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
an old Spectrum ZX80 I only have fond memories of the Spectrum 48k. The Z80 processor was my introduction to programming in assembly. I wonder how many other members were introduced to the joys of computing by this machine :D I own the ZX80 and 81 but only in the last few years, I to like yourself s...

I think you can overstate the seriousness of such matters! ;) Of course there's a back up phone with spare payg sim for emergencies, but a small risk of temporary internet loss I can live with.

Storage - On the road (OTR)
I realise that there is another storage thread but this one is more specific. Every year my wife and I go on an extended driving holiday/expedition which can mean 2-3 weeks without internet (so no cloud option for storage). During this time we take stills and video and can easily generate 300+...

Storage - On the road (OTR)
Ipads, like all tablets can't power an external hdd, so you would need a separate power supply for the drive. It all seems complicated to me, and imo the fewer things to go wrong the better. Since you already have a netbook, and an external hdd why not just back everything up in the evening using...

Storage - On the road (OTR)
One lower-tech way, but fairly reliable, would be to burn DVDs of your originals each night, have some postage pre-paid card envelopes all ready, and just drop a disc or two into a postbox each day - sending them home or to someone for safe keeping. At least you know they are somewhere else should d...

Storage - On the road (OTR)
I bought the eye fi card for my club work so I could edit images quickly on the iPhone and upload to Facebook from the club but seemed to spend more and more time just trying to get the thing to work. I recently had it replaced by eye fi whose support is excellent by the way and despite numerous at...

UK Aurora Tonight?
I'd love it to be correct, especially as skies are clear here in Northumberland where I am visiting. However the aurora forecasts are so poor that I am going to do my bit to increase the chances by heading back south :-( Paul

UK Aurora Tonight?
I have battled with my weight for a lot of my life but put on more than a couple of stone when I gave up smoking (and after a while you don't notice the extra cash unless you put it in a jar) Not been near a Mac yet, I think Irene is deliberately avoiding going anywhere near one :( I've never had...

Photo 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' question
Thankyou very much for that explanation - I'll try out those options as you detail, although I only have CS2 & Elements 8 - not sure if the options will be there, but I'll have a good look and report back. Regarding Image Size - that was where I was getting confused, because there is no 'Pixel ...

Photo 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' question
Many thanks again Steve, I understand then that the View option is only to offer a preview of a diffeent display ratio, to check the effect say on a widescreen monitor, but without having to actually resize the image. I haven't been able to advance on this question yet as I have not been able to...

Compact - Manual or Auto Power Off..??
How do you set your compact (if you have one) to shutdown? Do you manually switch it off after taking each picture or do you let it power down automatically after a set time? On my Panasonic LX7 the minimum auto power off time is one minute. This is the same for both the LCD and lens retract. Th...

Compact - Manual or Auto Power Off..??
Thanks John I usually use the compact when out cycling, so after taking each picture I like to put the camera back in its case and set off. Having to wait for one minute before it auto powers off is too long. One minute while waiting seems like five..!! My concern is that constantly switching it of...

Pentax O-GPS1, K5iis, 100mm f2.8 A, and DSS
Very good work. I got mine on Friday and when out early on Sunday morning after the moon had set. Tried 1.5 minute exposures at 12mm, and got trails :| Back to the drawing board

Pentax O-GPS1, K5iis, 100mm f2.8 A, and DSS
Hi Steep - the exposures were 10s, 15s and 30s at f3.2, ISO80. I'm sure you'll have fun using yours :) Hi Blythman - I get trails some of the time too, sometimes I just have to re-calibrate (I don't enjoy juggling the camera in the dark though). My keeper rate is not high, but it seems better now...
