    I had a stroke last night

    ... So probably won't be around for a while ... :( More accurately, a sub-dural haematoma. Other than that, I'm doing well ...

    Web site upgrade and image albums

    My web sites have now been moved to much more modern servers by my hosting provider, Vodien. Along with the usual cockups, and increased fees, of course. I have just completed the required update of my image album software and database. This required a complete rebuild of the database, among...

    GAS Whatever happened to the non-photography stuff acquisition thread?

    I cannot find it anywhere, and can't remember what it was called. Help please, anyone?

    Architecture Grain silos, with or without art work

    We seem to be missing a thread for these interesting objects. It seems to have become a worldwide trend to paint them - massive scale artworks. Here is one that I have already posted elsewhere to start this thread.

    Gadgets A tale about batteries

    Like most of us, I have a myriad number of batteries. Fortunately, all my FTs cameras used the same batteries, the BLM-1. I've got about six of them. Mostly, I find my FTs cameras with flat batteries, so I charge them all up again in my multiple chargers. Unfortunately, my three mFTs cameras...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus/OMDS Firmware updates and battery charge level

    Just updated my E-M1 MkII from v.3.3 to v.3.7. First attempt: After nearly an hour of nothing happening, a little thought crept into my head about the battery being 100% full. Surely not? Mine was showing 98% at the start. With enormous trepidation, I turned the camera off. Disconnected it...

    Micro 4/3 I think I've found the perfect car lens

    I think I've found the perfect car lens. Took my E-M1 MkII + 12-100 + 8-25 to the Beaumaris car show today. I put the 8-25 on the camera, and never changed lenses once. Currently, I'm just reviewing the half resolution images on my 10" tablet. While it doesn't appear as crackingly sharp as...

    Beaumaris Concourse car show, 2023

    The Beaumaris Concourse car show, 2023, is on tomorrow. Starts at 0800H until 1300H. A worthwhile event, with cars, trucks, motorcycles. Most are beautifully restored, some highly modified. Everything from sleek Jaguars to 1930s Ford hotrods. Some sample photos from past events can be seen...

    Micro 4/3 Has your WiFi symbol vanished?

    Mine did on my E-M1 MkII screen several months ago. Oi.Share would not connect to my E-M1 MkII, nor could it see it. I thought "Bugger. A trip to Olympus Oz to fix." However, when I was reading the f******* manual this morning (gasp!!), it informed me that if this icon is not showing, you can...

    GAS A new PC

    My PC is now over a decade old. Nothing is compatible with it these days. Even the RAM chips are worth a fortune, as nothing compatible is made now. Same goes for a more modern graphics card. My existing big internal HDDs will all go into the new box, which has 6x SATA3 headers, as well as...

    Micro 4/3 f/4 8-25 Pro - A trap for the unwary!

    Well, I will start by saying that I love this lens. Not as versatile as my f/4 [12-100] (of course), but lovely IQ and general quality. Also considerably smaller than the 12-100. However, as I discovered the other day, the warning screen about extending the lens from the locked position also...

    The Michael's Camera collection

    Feedback Thread alerts vanishing

    I'm finding that my watched threads 'unwatch' themselves when 1) a new page starts, and 2) if I fail to visit it for about 24 hours! Sometimes this just seems to happen completely arbitrarily ... It's weird. Anyone else having this sort of problem?

    Feedback Reading material

    May I recommend this thread be moved to the "Resources" sub-forum and be made into a sticky? https://cameraderie.org/threads/must-read-photography-books.11340/#post-450173 Or perhaps a new sub-forum in Resources or Introductions titled "Reference Materials"?

    Micro 4/3 Olympus E-PM2

    I have not been able to find a thread specifically for images from the (now) ancient E-PM2, so I will start one. I'm sure that I am not the only person here who has one, and appreciates the strengths of this tiny gem. Please post shots from yours :) . Mine arrived (second hand) a couple of...
