Thanks for the reminder. I subscribed ages ago but still haven't had time to watch a single episode :-)

Should have cleaned them before drying them out. Now you have to dry them again after cleaning them! Tsk!

I prefer the simple setup myself. What?

Mine too Waiting to see what camera I settle for first though

My favourite combo goes against your post as it's my trusty Canon 450D with the 18-200mm f3.5 EF-S. I know most will cringe at that but I found it nice and flexible for the stuff I'm interested in. I'm in the process of looking at an upgrade to a 6D and a couple of Primes but for landscapes I'm currently using a Canon M3 with either a 22mm stm or 18-55mm zoom. Occasionally I carry the 70-200mm M lens. For long trips I add a converter to take a Sigma 70-300 F4.

My most popular image is of a Seagull with 4500+ views, No idea why - other than someone is linking to it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/alan-d-photos/5628347259

I went with a Canon M3 because it was smaller but then bought the converter to use my other Canon lenses which put the weight back up lol :-) The M3 is great for Landscapes but focusing is too slow for wildlife or sports especially in low light where I'm hoping a 6D may replace my trusty old 450D.

He uses a Canon EOS 6D - a camera I'm considering but just waiting to see if a new model comes out before I commit :-)

Mushrooms seem to be a theme with me the last few weeks. Here's another from the weekend, complete with 'Fairy Twinkle' Mushroom Sparkle by Alan, on Flickr"]Mushroom Sparkle by Alan, on Flickr[/url]

One of the boys during Half Term in the Lakes. O&M on Sca Fell by Alan, on Flickr

Child tantrum, like throwing toys out of a pram. (Maybe you are too young :-) )

Our Impero was upgraded to 5.3.25 in my absence last week. All the groups, policies, clients, AD connection details - basically everything disappeared. I can't do anything about it at the moment for fear of interrupting some exam users. Teddy is firmly implanted in the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's a Train?

As Peaky Blinders is now back on TV I thought this would be appropriate How it was_8448 by Alan, on Flickr

I have a couple of printers that are in need of servicing\repair\investigation that have beaten us as to the possible cause of faults. Can anyone recommend a Printer Repair Service (Covering the West Mids)? Thanks

That was one of my points - the cost effectiveness and the savings that could be made! I'll approach them again, as soon as I can get out of this funny jacket thing they gave me!

Once I wean my other half off the Tivo box and replace it with a freeview recorder I'll be using Netflix with my Amazon Prime box.

I spent 22 years learning how to kill people. Yet they refuse to let me practice on staff and students! Oh well - their loss!
