Another doom and gloom story. Will they ever end?

He now finds it difficult to comprehend that ordinary mortals are much less competent, and really do benefit from being able to alter exposure later. And it's the ability to alter exposure by several stops that really distinguishes RAW from JPEG.
I use Silkypix Pro and nothing else. Lightroom is all very well, but there is a significant learning curve, and it is much more than just a RAW converter. However, if you expect to do a lot of post-processing, it is the market leader.

As a child I believed the people north of the Roman Wall lived on a diet of porridge, haggis (whatever that was) and whiskey and that was why they made such ferocious soldiers
Dr Johnson scathingly remarked that in England, oats were given to horses, but in Scotland they sustained the population. Johnson was a great man, but little versed in agricultural matters, or he would have known that oats were highly nutritious, which is why English landowners gave oats to their horses, and turnips to their tenants.
Haggis, the great chieftan o' the puddin' race, is of course a wonderfully hearty dish.
So the Scots had it good. In the islands, they feasted nightly on oysters and lobster. Probably.

You should survive a goodly time on beer/ale, but not so sure about the other two, mainly because all the sugars have been turned into C2H5OH and it takes an awful lot of energy to turn them back ito water.
If you were to "water" them down with chips/curry/marsbars then I would say survival is a certainty.
It'll be life Jim but not as we know it.

"Watering down" with curry can be taken in different ways.

But I suppose copious amounts of beer would make their vows of celibacy both easier to bear and harder to break.
Wise chaps, these monks.

...can you survive on beer, gin and whisky?
Worth giving it a go, at any rate.

The 55-300 has done well, but the accessory behind the camera played the main part.

I know we're not supposed to admit that there are any silly questions on the forum, but if anyone were to belie the legend, 'twould be you.
