They look like oil paintings

That’s a very good image. I still have an old 2x somewhere, that I used for air shows. The shots were just about acceptable, but having to use fast film with fast shutter speeds, very grainy.

To view an lcd screen I need to remove my glasses, but to see what I'm photographing I need them on, so I occasionally when trying to get a quick shot I look through the EVF and wonder why autofocus isn't working, then check I haven't inadvertently moved the focus clutch on the lens and put it...

Ebay had a Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 prime with a Nikon mount for about sixty dollars so out of curiosity, I bought one thinking that if it is junk I could get a refund if I returned it within thirty days. For that price, I am definitely keeping the lens and I bought a 35mm of the same make to keep it...

I have a Nikon D5300 DSLR with a 70/300mm lens but only find it of any use with subjects fairly close or birds in flight. I use my Canon sx60 far more due to the range.

Prior to going on my trip to Alaska I did about 9 months of comparing and contrast of cameras. I finally settled on a Canon zoom. It fits a little shorter than the palm of my hand and as wide as my hand. The zoom on it is amazing. When in Alaska I got picks of bears from far away that you...

Thanks for the compliment @Redwing I am happy you liked the photo. The bird is actually a Black Capped Chickadee."Little flocks of Black-capped Chickadees enliven the winter woods with their active behavior and their cheery-sounding chick-a-dee callnotes as they fly from tree to tree, often...

Phalaenopsis closeup.

No worries. There's also PS Express for iPad which is free so worth a look. I'd be interested in your thoughts on Affinity once you start using it

I got slightly diverted as I attended an Olympus workshop last month and received a discount for £220 off plus a further 3 year's warranty for one of these so couldn't say no, as that also reduces the teleconvertor cost by about £100.Then yesterday I received an email notification of 10%...

Nice shot mate

:D never bothered...you will just have to change it back it used to be annoying to have time being on prints cheers alison

It used to be, full of traffic these days

Lens update,The lens is on its way back to me i should receive it tomorrow, no remarks on any issues from Sigma so that's great news ,From what i can make out the seller mainly uses Nikon lenses that must not make any noise when AF as Andy mentioned and thought it was a issue for the Sigma...

If you looked at the Moon in wonder, silu, then nothing was lost on you as that is what Astronomy is all about.!!Me???.......as if I would Actually things, so far, in the Observatory have been going really well as I've got some good images of different timed exposures of the Orion...

The screen is attached by ribbon lead which is normally held tightly in place by a sliding retaining clip at the connection point, so I'd guess it's not something simple, as the clip would require moving plus the lead then pulling out of the connection point to become disconnected.If you spent...

@Steve R my screen brightness on my laptop is set at only 45% because of the eye issues I have. Thank you for the information and I will check out the site over the weekend. @JWK I'd started to reduce images for GC but decided to carry on because larger images are cut off top and bottom on...

@Loki I have no doubt. Thankfully that's not my problem. I just have to take them to school every now and then and feed them occasionally. The best thing about grandchildren is that you can always give them back. Oh the joy! G.

I am not familiar with Chrome Gallery - is that cloud storage?
