  1. Kind of misread the post there.

    The main places I visit are or look at on YT in no particular order

    Matt Grangers Petapixel.com website and YT channel

    Ken Wheeler - "The angry photographer" does videos daily he also has a website under construction (may or may not come to fruition).

    Fstoppers.com has lots of videos https://fstoppers.com/category/video

    Phlearn.com has some good photoshop tutorials on youtube...If you do female portraits definitely check out the video on "frequency separation" retouching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldhG9fmgC7o

    and also the Blend If function to enhance lighting on your subject...it can be used to good effect to tame nasty hard flash

  2. I've been trialling Ubuntu off USB, I've never tried any other Linux builds...I've just read this from a site that details Kubuntu Xubuntu and Ubuntu.

    Ubuntu is unique because it lets you install all three environments and switch between them as needed. No other operating system, including Windows or OS X, allows this kind of flexibility from the OS. You could even use more than one option depending on what you are doing at the moment. For instance, you might decide that KDE provides the customization you need to efficiently complete work projects, but the ease of Unity might be more appealing on your days off.

    How do I go about doing that?

  3. If you want to start off experimenting/dabbling without spending too much you could try the Canon 250D Close-Up Lens on your 55-200 - that will give 0.99x magnification at 200mm. I'm not sure if you can use tubes on top of that for more magnification...

    You would be best off with a raynox DCR 250 its better quality than the Canon, Infact as soon as I've posted this I'm gonna order one for myself.

    Here's some examples at various focal lengths,,,

  4. They may of had a radioactive source onsite for x-raying welds of some sort. Could be a new petrol station.

    It does however look like someone has just pulled as many signs as they could off the computer and printed then out to make it look like there's a H&S plan in place.
