Meh, doesn't seem that great. Maybe I'm missing something.

Hi! I'm someone who has barely used a camera beyond that on my phone but I do enjoy your forum and have a question, and I didn't want to start a new thread for it because sometimes people don't like that.

I want to do a project for 2018 which is simply this: fix a camera to a post looking at my house to take 4 pictures a day for a year.

Just wondering what is an inexpensive way to do this, obviously I have to think about water proofing and battery. Think I could get a pack from Ali Express or something?

There are a few ways to do this although the most common seems to be using a car battery. If it's outside your house you might be able to run a wire to your camera? Google "long term timelapse" or something and you will get plenty of results. Keep us updated, I was planning to do something similar myself with an old gopro

my wife bought a panasonic recently which had a €60 cashback offer, and they weren't lying - they said they'd post out a cheque, and today i signed for registered post delivered from the UK, with €60 in *cash* in the envelope.

i thought the only people who stuck cash in envelopes were aunts posting birthday cards to nieces or nephews on the other side of the country.

Is there a way to embed images from flicker on here but resized?

Photo Page -> Share Photo (bottom right) -> BBCode -> pick a size from the dropdown and copy and paste the BBCode from the text box. i.e.

Picking up a new ND10 today.
Lesson learned - ND filters will not support my weight when stepped on.

I purchased a Nikon 35mm from Eglobal last year and recommended it to a friend. Went to see if they had stock and notice they have no Nikon products listed anymore.

That feeling when you go somewhere, take a load of shots and come home and end up disappointed with every single one of them.

GillanLab · 25-07-2018 2:49pm

GillanLab · 25-07-2018 2:50pm

Tell me about it. Especially if you get up at 4 am for it.

On the other side, it's great when you go out with low expectations, because of the weather or something, and come back with a load of great stuff!

CONFIRMED AND TRULY SUPERB UNIQUE LENS, THE ONLY SILVER CHROME 35MM 1.4 AA ASPHERICAL EVERY MADE.

But this pales into insignificance compared to this > 1. Carl Zeiss 50mm Planar F/0.7 – $23,100,000+
