    File Naming

    I try to name my files with some indicator of year. Last year I prefixed my files with 019 This year with 020. I have surpassed the number of files it seems, so the same numbers are being re-used. I want to change the prefix again to 20B, so I can still see they are 2020. My camera will not let...

    New Tamron 150-600mm... so NOT happy today

    I upgraded and bought a G2 Tamron 150-600mm. Great! Been using it every day since. Picked it up today and put it on the camera and the lens will not extend. Looks like it's back to the shop and off for warranty. So NOT happy :( At least I still have the old one I can use in meantime (for sale...

    File Naming Conundrum

    I have my file naming set to start file names with the year ie 020. I use 2 cards and because I remove them and copy from card to PC without going thru the camera they tend to get switched from slot 1 to slot 2 and vice versa continually. I am continually getting files named with last year file...

    Why Is It?

    That when you retire you have the time and money but not the brainpower. There is something wrong in all this. My brain will not function so well anymore as I approach 60 and yet I am learning how to sail, how to play guitar, how the make jewellery from scratch and I've just bought a drone, so...

    Dirty Sensor

    I have some pretty crappy dirt on my sensor. I've cleaned it twice now recently (today at latest) using visible dust products. I've just ordered a different cleaning fluid as I have no idea what that big black mark actually is, and I've run out of fluid now anyway. So.....if it doesn't come...

    Vixens Jewellery

    I started making jewellery about 12months ago. It's an expensive hobby and I've been pretty slow with getting some stuff to stick in my brain, but lately I've been getting a bit more adventurous ( and spending a heap more money). You'd think having photography as my other hobby would be an...

    Tamron 150-600mm failure

    :(Had to send my Tamzooka away for warranty (I hope) work. Last few times I've used it, it freezes and won't autofocus. Nothing works to fix it. Auto-focus motor screams at me. However will I cope without it? I know a few people have had the freezing problem. I've had it occasionally and...
