    The point of an iPad

    95% of my web use is through my iPad, it probably gets 3 or 4 hours use per day. My iPhone is virtually redundant and my PC only gets fired up if I have 1,000+ photos to edit. Aside from the occasional niggle (i.e large pics on Cliosport don't appear fully) I've not got any issues, a big deal is...

    Bought a lens...

    New car, new lens, I feel like a new man! Definitely back up for some serious photography again now, been far too long. Fuji X100 is next on the shopping list, I'm stupidly excited about getting that.

    Bought a lens...

    Thought I would update this as nearly 3 years on my Sigma 120-300 2.8 has now gone elsewhere (to MPB Photographic, where else!), it's been replaced by this... After the initial buzz of f2.8 at 300mm I quickly realised the 120-300 wasn't quite quick enough in the AF department for my...

    SG55 ATN My old clio, BUYERS BEWARE!!

    Somebody request the pics (which if he was really honest he should just include in the ad pics anyway), I fail to see how it's 'genuinely minor cosmetic damage'...it was hardly a few scratches was it!

    Trophy Rig Test

    What rig equipment did you use, out of interest? Looks good, will look even better at a lower ISO (I've made the same mistake, best way to learn!)

    v6 Inferno/bake beans, rare spot?

    They look much, much better in the metal...but I agree that the colour doesn't quite suit it. Lunar or Acid for me, Lunar is my all time favourite car colour.

    Pearl Black Ph1

    Cheers bud, going to attack the HIDs this weekend, I presume it's pretty easy to remove them? One other question...what's the lead in the glove box for? I dropped you a PM but you're full.

    Megane splitter I believe. Nikon D90?!

    Pearl Black Ph1

    I bought loads of new cleaning gear but haven't touched it yet, Nick obviously did a good job the last time he cleaned it :) It would have been way too low for me, my work has about 6 brutal speedhumps to get into the car park. Sportlines should close the arch gap a tiny bit whilst still...

    Pearl Black Ph1

    :) Hopefully going to take it down to Exmouth for a good service at Carlton in a few weeks, bonnet seems pretty sturdy though. Still can't quite believe I own a 172 again (sold my Cup when I bought a house to save money), just stuck my Ignis up for sale to see if there would be any interest...

    Pearl Black Ph1

    Ooops wrong forum, could somebody move this to the Media section?

    Pearl Black Ph1

    I'm now the proud owner of this beauty, having sold my superb Ignis Sport yesterday. I was supposed to be buying an MX-5 or Cappuccino, but couldn't resist when I spotted this just up the road from me. Some of the long-termers here may remember I owned a gorgeous standard Cup (S25 CUP) quite a...

    Time Lapse - Sunset of Gloucester

    That's incredible Dan, can't believe how lucky you got with the clouds parting at the end as well. The amount of cloud cover is pretty much perfect throughout. Exposure looks spot on, must have been quite challenging with the massive variety of light conditions.

    Something to replace a dying D50.

    Yup, I love the creativity required of a prime and having something that capable in my pocket all the time just blows my mind. Considering how much I use my iPhone for pics when out and about as I can't be bothered to carry my D90 about I think it will be perfect. As another plus, it's bound to...

    Something to replace a dying D50.

    D50 = Legendary. That there are so many still going strong proves just that. How small is 'small', out of interest? If you want to change systems the Olympus Four Thirds kit is pretty compact. If you can live without a DSLR there are some incredible compact cameras about with APS-C size...

    172 Cup Racecar.

    Great to see a few Clios creeping into UK Club Racing. I've seen most series in the past 5 years and there are very few Clios...I'm guessing they are inherently uncompetitive in most series due to the relatively large capacity and high cost of extracting much more power within the regulations...

    My mk1 Super charged clio

    Surely an A6 Avant or something would be a better option, that caravan looks pretty big :)

    Lenses - where to buy

    MPB Photographic for me as well, my beast (Sigma 120-300 2.8) is being traded in with them soon, pretty much every lens I sell or buy is through them.

    106 gti, 200 Whp, 1st place, last place, finishes 6th!

    Another superb day for the Saloons yesterday, great racing. Did anyone watch the live coverage on Motors TV yesterday? We were sat in the insane wind at Quarry and it was great to have a big screen to follow the action. After an 'iffy' start to his racing career Simon Norris is going really...

    BTCC Thruxton

    Kept an eye out for you also, got fed up of the usual elbowing at Club around 10am and moved around to the Complex area for the rest of the day. Had planned to do today but decided the crowds were not worth the effort...watched on telly instead!

    V8 Supercar Startline Smash

    The main area supported by the cage held up well enough, the door opened no problem so it did its main job in an incident like that.

    Anyone rented a lens from lensesforhire.co.uk

    I've used them in an emergency (a few days notice of an assignment in Paris) before and they were fantastic, my local post office had technical issues on the day I had to post it back and they couldn't accept anything, dropped LfH an email and they were fine with it, let me post it the next day...

    BTCC Thruxton

    A few pics from the BTCC at Thruxton yesterday. A bright hazy day which doesn't really suit my style of shooting (and lack of processing) but I got a few keepers...

    Bought some £2400 Recaros

    Put it up for sale Tuesday, got a call Wednesday, he came around on Saturday and bought it. Thankfully he's not actually collecting it for 2 weeks, as I never expected it to go that quickly so haven't actually gone out to properly find the replacement! Not sure if there is genuine demand, but...

    Bought some £2400 Recaros

    I can't wait, just a little nervous that the few I have my eye on will go in the next few days. I believe there are somewhere in the region of 450 left in the UK and most are with long-term owners. Still enjoying the Ignis Mark? I feel worse about letting my one go than I even did with S25...

    Bought some £2400 Recaros

    Indeed, David Yu (Evo contributor, owner of Godzilla/2) ended up keeping his for nearly 4 years, loved it. Haven't read a bad word from owners or reviewers, proper little sportscar. 63hp yet still does 0-60 in just over 8 seconds.

    Bought some £2400 Recaros

    Suzuki Cappuccino :) 0.6 litres of goodness! Just got to track down a good one over the next few weeks, otherwise I'll probably give in and buy an MX-5.

    Re: iPad "Must Have" Apps Qwiki - so so good, spent hours on this already learning about stuff I never even knew I wanted to know about, brilliant.

    Bought some £2400 Recaros

    In keeping with my 100% record I've sold this to the first person who came to view it (three days after I put it on Pistonheads), only lost a couple of hundred quid from my original purchase as well. Absolutely loved every minute of owning it but with my wedding next year and no doubt kids soon...
