Just a heads up for anyone who is willing to submit a few photos for the chance to win a nice cash prize, free gear and the honour of winning Sony photographer of the year.

There's some great shots I've seen here over the past year by a few members, you don't need to have shot it with a sony to enter, however do read the rules though.

What have you got to lose? Nothing ventured nothing gained my grandma used to tell me.

Yesterday evening not far from my village ( waiting for winning the lottery so I can buy the Fujifilm XT1 I looking for ..)

If you'd have gone to Adobes MAX exhibition this year in LA you would have got an XT10 and 18-55 lens for free, everyone who attended got one.

Just a heads up for anyone who's near or fancies a visit to San Diego next oct 31 - nov 1

Has anyone looked into this monks past?

It's easy to wear a robe and collect food of the poor people.

In the western world it's called sociopathy.

Offer another reward, so that it can be claimed and paid to self before finding any real evidence.

No one recognizes the scammers outside though.

Your around 4000 times more likely to get killed by a vehicle with an asian behind the wheel in Thailand than getting caught up in a terrorist plot, (unless you live in the deep south).

Plus theres more russians in the ambassador than KSR and WS put together.

Take a look at the focus mask also. Import images and click on focus mask and all that is crisp focus will be highlighted. As a manual focus shooter this aspect really speeds up my workflow. No individual 100% views needed, it's all there in one click.

Great. Another feature to speed things up.

Sorry to go off-topic a little bit: Fimgirl, I've been having trouble judging the correct focus distance while doing manual focus street shooting. I like to do it this way because it WAY more accurate then autofocus. Because there is only a limited frame of time before the subject notices me I need to be able to judge the correct distance between camera and subject when shooting from let's say: the hip. Apart from a lot of experience are there any solid tips on perfecting this judgement.

Probably not what your looking for but would work. They vary in price some go upto 100 metres or so.

Excactly that, Rythem. If I could focus on the laser point, I can do night shot focussing with it as well. A regular flashlight doesn't produce enough light for that..

Build yourself one of these. http://www.diyphotography.net/building-a-crazy-1000w-led-flashlight/

I tried capture one once but I think it was V6 or maybe I'm getting mixed up with Dx0 mark, thanks for the heads up FG will give the new one a try.

It's probably a new "game" to get you to update to win 10.

I installed a fresh copy of win 7, I chose roughly 213 updates.

This took 4 1/2 hours to complete, for the 1st 2 1/2 hours it was on 0%.

Just be patient, and as above go shopping or watch TV.

Mint 17.3 Rosa is out, I am trying to get to the site at the moment but it wont load, so grabbed the iso off distrowatch.

Servers must be rammed.

Running 17.2 XFCE at the moment, just about to fire up 17.3 in virtual box.

Not just xmas tree lights any old lamp or any electrical appliance can screw up your WIFI.

^^^ Interesting, I've been looking for something like that, cheers for the info.

The disc I bought was a Home Premium OEM version for an already assembled computer, not for use in Singapore and to be activated only in SE Asia.

If its already been installed on the pre assembled compuer no, that copy will be linked to the original computers motherboard it was registered on.

Bear in mind each time you open an MP3 and then resave it you are compressing it again, this reduces sound quality.

If you have the uncompressed wav's, work on them and then save to MP3.

Nice shots blackmartin.

If you have KODI install NaxiX and do a search there is a channel called "IPTV by MoonWood", theres about 35 Thai channels on it.

Heres a 46 Billion pixel image of space, lot of stars up there.

They should take the speed signs down as they are not understood by Thai people and are just a distraction to their concentration as they probably write them down for the lottery.

A huge steel RSJ type barrier should be put there that requires the driver to get out to enter a pin number before it opens and then closes again once he has passed through.

Good new video from Ted Talks

Goshawk would have liked this.

I've managed to do it before now, it may depend on the camera though. Also bear in mind if you have no power supply, if your camera supports charging via a PC.

Maybe you could name them so anyone who doesn't want to pay for Lightroom, Photoshop etc...could benefit.
