Warm welcome back.
We've missed your mastery of the still-life, Gary. There's a huge hole in the forum when you're absent.

Not a happy bunny!
I'm not familiar with the 18-270 but I know from experience that the 16-50 has a nasty habit of locking up if it gets a knock while extended, a gentle wiggle (albiet with a bit of pressure) seems to ease the barrel back into place, the lens will then be OK until it's next knock. This happened twi...

The return of Jessops!!
Ffordes up north also stock Pentax. I remember when Jessops and Jacobs were right next to each other at the West End - Jacobs was clearly better though both were much more expensive than buying online and I didn't have much cash back then for spending on photography gear. Hang on, I still don't ...

The return of Jessops!!
I've posted about this previously but perhaps it needs to be said again. Jessops have a substantial store in the Metrocentre at Gateshead - and it has a Pentax presence. Its not as prominent as Canon and Nikon but it has a stand alongside the Olympus display with a fair few camera bodies and lenses...

Penarth Pier
Hi Gareth, Yes, 5 decent wacks with a wammer, I then decided to drive to Glos on the M4 at 50mph, not my best idea, phoned the misses and got the postcode for Kwik Fit in Newport only you find all their systems were down and cash only accepted. In the end went to ATS, who repaired the tyre fo...

highs and lows
and pretty much no inspiration - I guess that is the low, A good friend had the same problem after deciding the local camera club wasn't doing much for him, so we sat down over a beer, came up with a list of things that we were comfortable shooting, subjects we'd really like to do and subjects we we...

High - getting hold of some special lenses in mint condition which are no longer in production and which i have been looking for for years (A50/1.2 :wink: LennyBloke and K28 shift) Low - my x100s was in my rucksack with a water bladder which leaked. X100 died (but luckily came back to life on dry...

Lows? Losing my job and being batted back from interview after interview. Highs? More time to take photos! (whilst looking at lenses that I have had to let go or cannot afford...)

£3k to spend on photography, so we bought a minibus!
In the 'high and lows 2016' thread, I mentioned that one of our high moments of the year was that we had turned an old NHS minibus into a campervan! As the title says, we had £3000 to spend after selling our old trailer and decided that we wanted to spend it on photography related items. Bear in ...

That's brilliant Danny! Great example of making a lot from limited resources 😊. After you've made those additions next year it'll be a palace! Look forward to hearing about your trips8) We'll be jumping back into campervanning next year (yippee!). We had one when our boys were wee, then s...

Sometimes we focus too much on equipment to help us take better photos - you're approach has been to focus on equipment that will take you to better photos :wink: Looks a cracking job - keep us updated :!:

Are we stumbling, photographic zombies?
I've read this article on several different occasions. No preaching either way from me. It either starts a thought process that progresses or it doesn't. Best regards

Are we stumbling, photographic zombies?
Thanks for sharing. Personally I shoot with my DSLR as if I am using film (which is how I started). I think it is conditioning! If I go out and shoot I rarely use the screen, and still think in terms of rolls of film shot. 'I shot a roll and a half of 36 today'. I also learned to keep bot...
