Going to be going away with work a few times this year and would like some data roaming. I'm with T-Mob/EE and from what I can work out, when I get there, it'll restrict any internet access before I've paid for extra which is fine .. however, it's about £10 for 50MB which I think would...

These will get lost in the picture thread so thought I'd start a new one :o Here's the convoy to Duxford with the SE lot. Make sure you click HD or just click the link below to go straight to the vid in HD :cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hraK2qa_r_w&hd=1 Couple more bits to follow...

Just got my first one. Mine is just an older version - HD Hero .. but does the job for now. Anyone else use theirs apart from filming track days ?! :o Working out the menu system took a couple of stabs but I'm there now .. and just done my first time lapse (all 13 seconds of it !!!). Got any...

As some of you may know, Sash has taken a change in direction with her career. After passing her ADI test in December, she's about to start teaching actual people* !! Car's all ready and raring to go. Took a few shots tonight for the website .. bit different to the normal thing from me so...

Popped into the big smoke today and took my 7D out for a spin. Here's a few from the 130ish I took ! Admiralty Arch by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Nelsons Lion by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr St Pauls by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Statue by evil_giraffes_rule, on...

Rob's bus needed new wheels. Well it didn't but I told him to get them anyway. Friend of mine picked them up from somewhere north of The Gap (was a bit grim IIRC) and popped them to mine on Friday night. Wheelz at night by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Rob came over to mine today to pick...

Aunt and Uncle moved into their apartment about 5 years ago. They've got broadband from BT but it's still hovering about the 1MB mark. He nearly swung for me when I told him my 100MB is going up to 120 soon lol :o I don't personally know how they haven't gone utterly batsh*t at BT yet, but...

Sash and I had an early start this morning in the RB .. alarm went off at 5am to be out the door at 6. Didn't quite manage that but we were on the road and got up to Norfolk in good time - enough time to stand in the FREEZIN' ass cold queue for sign on before the briefing. That was not nice ...

Star trails over Laindon again by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr 250x 20s exposures. f/6.3 .. ISO 400 .. @ 10mm. Stacked using software from http://www.StarStax.net Little video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS0rhj-zN6Q showing how it's made :o I love watching the software...

Suggestions on what to get next ?

My iMac keeps crashing and restarting in the night - normally when in sleep mode .. it's not the end of the world as it's always over night, but it's just annoying. I keep sending the fault reports to Apple but it doesn't tell me anything useful. Can anyone with an ounce of computer...

Anyone got an idea what size the bearings are ? Colleague is looking to replace the noisy bearings... alternator works fine but is just noisy. Failing that, has anyone got a spare but perfectly working quiet 1.2 alternator kicking about ?! Thanks :evil:

I was wondering why some shots with my nifty were looking a bit naff / soft. Decided to actually check it somewhat properly. What I did: Camera on tripod. Get a bit of print / newspaper .. something with text so you can easily see what's in focus. Aperture priority mode - select the...

Had a properly nice day on Friday at a friend's wedding. Ceremony at a Church in Essex, followed by a bit of a roadtrip to Bexhill for the 'do'. Was asked to be 'the photographer' but declined as I have zero experience and only one half decent fast lens. I didn't really want to send them...

Quick shoot this eve. Stuck to my 50mm f1.8 and fired off a few rounds... All shots SOOC apart from one. ... and finally... :evil:

I've got a wedding to go to in a few weeks time.. I want to try a nice fast zoom lens as I've needed an excuse to buy one for a while. Looked into borrowing one - no one has one near me that I know of :o Looked into renting one - looking like the best part of a ton for a weekend for a...

Well.. That's a lie. It was, about 2 weeks ago. First time in about 6 months it had more than a bi-monthly bucket of suds and a rinse off. It had a going over with BiltHamber soft clay (excellent stuff) and a coat of DJ 'light fantastic' wax. Then I popped to Ants to put the thing on...

Tried to take the OH back to the zoo today. They don't do refunds as I didn't have the receipt. So instead I took my godawful Tamron 70-300 PoS lens as my brother's OH has my walkabout and my 50mm, bunged it on the 7 and shot some endangered things. Not massively happy with the photos...

Figured we might as well combine all the silly questions into one thread. :o I'll start ! Colleagues car is a 58-ish plate Nissan Qashqai thing in dark grey. He's been asking me about it as he knows I dabble in DAing etc. He's managed to swipe some hedges and has some scratches...

Photos coming up .. Left work early for a bromantic evening with Scrooge. Poor boy has all the gear (well, most of it) and no freakin' idea. He Iron-x'd the barge at the weekend but the quick'n'dirty wash didn't leave much to be desired, so this evening we washed, clayed, washed...

Does anyone in the SE (or anywhere else willing to post one out :o) have one I can borrow ?! Thoughts of those who use them regularly would be ace..: Are they worth it ? Has it ever saved your bacon !? I know they're useful .. best to be safe than sorry etc.. I'm sure it's best to check...

Anyone know ?! Can't seem to find release dates anywhere online ! Ta... :coffee:

Just found my spare screen.. got it all out the box, cleaned my desk, turned the iMac around and there's no display related port !!! :S I've got USBs, FireWire and a Thunderbolt thing which I have no idea what that does... but nothing which appears display related. Err... :S Bit of...

Broken it ? Ian - spotted by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Popped my bus to Richard @ Automotive Engineering this morning and whilst I was there half of the Lotus 7 Club turned up ! Quick phone-camera shot with my new Nexus.. wasn't impressed at first when I took it, however on Flickr after editing on the phone itself, it seems to be borderline...

Colleague has a TVR Griff, which has some manky splitrims on it, and he wants to get them refurb'd. Every company he speaks to passes him on to another as they don't seem to like split rims for one reason or another. They look a bit like this from the pictures I've seen: I'm under...
