I've bought no end of lenses that have come with a skylight filter attached. First thing I do is remove it and put it in the box with the dozens of skylight filters. I screw the 49mm filters together. I'm hoping to get a foot long filter tube one day

I've never seen such persistent in trying to hold Lightroom responsible for something that it had nothing to do with. Lightroom causes hard drive failure? what next? Lightroom causes debt crunch plunging the world into depression?

No it wasn't. Using Lightroom does not encourage people to be lapse with their backup regime. I store back ups of my Lightroom catalogues on two separate drives and on an external device.

A tip: LR catalogues compress well into zip files. I've had 10:1 compression, so easy to zip up and even store on your mobile phone or USB stick

Great shot

All the £6 3rd party batteries I've got off Ebay have lasted just as long as the Pentax one's which cost up to £60

Look forward to seeing the pics Pete

I used to get my films inspected manually at airports do they didn't have to go through the X-ray machines

Oversaturated sample images - yeeeeeuch!

People who upload photographs have not only made some effort to take the photo in the first place they've also made an effort to edit it and considered it worthy of being shared and are thus proud if it. A response that's of the same meagre value as a Facebook "like" is an insult to their efforts IMO

Two excuses that don't wash IMO. This isn't Facebook where getting a 1000 likes can cure this baby's leukaemia. If you're in a rush then wait until you've got some time. If you don't feel technically competent so what? Photographs are about art. You can comment on how the image makes you feel emotionally or artistically.

Nonsense.

That is patently absurd. People sell tourist t-Shirts, mugs, trinkets, etc of notable buildings all the time. Why shouldn't someone be able to commercially publish a photograph or image/graphic of a public scene? The copyright lies with person who took the photograph, not who designed the objects in the scene.

You'd breach copyright by constructing a building with the same design as the Gerkhin, but not by selling an image of it.

What next? You can't commercially publish a street photograph without car manufacturers or clothing manufacturers claiming royalties on images of their cars or of clothes worn by members of the public in the photograph? Or mobile phone manufacturers won't let anyone commercially publish a photograph without payment becuase someone in the photograph is using one of their mobile phones.

You take a photo in any high street and there'll be hundreds of instances of items ( buildings, vehicles, products, etc ) that were designed and manufactured by someone who ownsthe copy right to those items.

Passing a law that allows the copyright owner of that item to claim a payment on the commercially published image of that item is the sign of humans having a mental illness

I've never heard of anything so unhinged


Who cares. passing such a law in the first place is indicative of a failed society

The fact this was evenproposed in the first place is indicative we live in an absurd world

That's what this farcical proposal is effectively doing. London could be sued for allowing the London Eye to be seen by people in London
