Airbus 380 cockpit panorama!!
Takes about 30 minutes to adapt to the car in general, a bit longer to adapt to the position of the indicator (turn signal) stalk. Think about learning to quick-focus a lens clockwise or anti-clockwise. That's the easy bit. Problem is (say) a driver from England - RH drive but drive on the left ...

Airbus 380 cockpit panorama!!
This is fascinating stuff, Doctorjeff. What is HCI? In this context I believe it is Human Computer Interfacing. I was in the Middle East for a while and had no trouble driving on the right out there and on the left here when I came back on holiday. What I did find a little more difficult was when...

Airbus 380 cockpit panorama!!
I'd have to respectfully disagree with you about people's abilities Dr.Jeff, but in the nicest possible way :D A driver who can only cope inside their familiar comfort zone of driving 3 miles to Tesco/school and back will be a serious danger regardless if they have hired a LHD car in Paris or g...

Airbus 380 cockpit panorama!!
This is fascinating stuff, Doctorjeff. What is HCI? I think there is more to this including habit nothing to do with L or R side driving. We have two cars, a Mercedes-Benz and a Smart, the Mercedes direction selector (forward or reverse) is in the same position as the Smart's wiper switch and I ...

Great Photographs
I've posted quite a lot from some great photographers that use another brand or unknown camera. I simply linked to their site, that's always allowed and I never had any problems with that. Twice even the photographers self posted a comment to explain things, they are of course happy to see their...

For F**ks Sake!.
If I had a camera or lens with no box then yes I would ... because I know that I will get it back (plus a bit more) when I come to sell. I will also pay more for a boxed camera/lens.

Recomend me a tripod please
Get the best you can afford. A cheap tripod is a waste of money, and worse than useless. Do not get one with the extra "braces" on the legs. Consider the height it will extend to - you don't want to end up with back ache from stooping over a tripod all day. Consider how low it will go - do you wan...

Seven Deadly Sins
Nothing wrong with the castle - but I would be happy to see a photography ban around it :wink:. Maybe we could move it to a Glasgow park? No thanks! What is amazing is that it isn't and ancient castle at all but mostly built in the early 20th century, the back wall which you cant see is plain ...

Black and white (we have moved on 8)). Pictures with only a small bit in focus (use a smaller aperture :roll:). Pictures of a very small part of an interesting object (EG one headlamp of an interesting car - get a wider lens :shock:). --- er - off to the tinmine a bit sharpness Oggy:lol:

John Mayall anyone?
Back in the early 80s - I was lucky enough to see him with the re-formed Bluesbreakers - McVie, Taylor and Co when they did a 2 year world tour - totally unforgetable. My advice - go see him while you can. My second piece of advice - leave the camera at home - unless you can see him a second tome...

netbook advice
The netbook/laptop will probably come with Windows 7 which will be fine. Look at some of the 12" and 13" low power laptops like the T130 from Toshiba. or Dell m101z. The 10" screens are not easy to do much to an image on, I've tried. The more expensive ones with better screens are not much ...

netbook advice
Dave, I have a Samsung N130, it has a built in SDHC slot at the front and three USB connections. pretty handy for popping the card straight in and reviewing. Or as I do, pop in the card and copy the contents onto the HDD and if needed onto a USB memory stick/portable hard disk. I can then wipe...

netbook advice
My advent has a matt screen, I got an O2 dongle, £2 a day, took the sim card out the dongle, put it directly in the netbook. Also changed the 160 gig hd for a 500gig approx £50, doubled the memory to 2 gig approx £20 & added a 12v power adaptor £8 from Aldi when they had them. Mine fits in my cam...

netbook advice
It looks like this has been answered already, but basically I find most of them are a little underpowered for serious work. It'll be okay for editing a few photos, but after a while you may get frustrated by the sluggishness. I would rather just take my laptop, or even (whispering so Stefan doesn't ...
