The second shot in the sequence captures the action wonderfully! Although the facial expression on the third one takes some beating

Have just remembered, I have used those jam-jar lid openers (gently) and that has always worked as they effectively grip in four places equally around the filter

You need to take a more technical approach to this problem with an understanding of the physics of friction which is the underlying issue.

Grip the camera tightly in a vice, take a hammer to the glass, smash it, and you will find it easier to tear the rim off with a pair of pliers. If that doesn't work, heat up the rim with a blow torch and the rim is simply removed with an oil filter chain wrench. Job done!

I also bought some and scratched off the paint (on all 3 tubes). Gives me aperture readout and control now; however not sure that PTTL flash works brilliantly although haven't done exhaustive testing on this. Cleared a patch where a 7th contact would be counting away from the screw.

Thanks for the link Danny. Useful to have this. recently exhibited some photos and had got part way there; ideally would have seen this a few weeks back! But great to have now

I have recently exhibited some photos and used the hinge method mentioned by 'swarf'. Wisdom suggests using acid free tape to prolong print and mount life. I made some mounted but unframed prints and sued backing board for them stuck on with acid free & ph7-70 double sided tape.

For the framed pictures, I used pre-bought frames that come with their own clips, or 'jegs', to hold in the back. With those I hinged the photo to the 'mount card' and then used the sheet of paper that came inside the galls to go between the photo and the frame backing.

I hope that helps!

I prefer the first one. If you could 'angrify' the sky in that as per no 2 but keep the grey of no 1, that might look good IMHO

I had to 'google' my video card (which was an integrated onto motherboard one) for the specification. And also check the connectors used match up (eg HDMI, DVI-D etc). I suggested the dell u2412 above - a feature of it is that it is 1900x1200 pixels; ie it gives a bit more screen height than the standard full HD size (1900x1080). It relies on a DVI-D connection (or VGA which is old hat and by todays' standards somewhat inferior being analogue transfer rather than digital)

I recently upgraded to a Dell u2412 IPS panel - very pleased with it. I got it from PCBuyit who seemed to have the best price at the time. It would just break the £200 barrier though
