I once ate at a restaurant in Little Italy, NYC, at a table near to that exact group of people. All very smartly dressed and much fawned over by the staff.
Recently I started "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami - entertaining and surreal so far, I think I'll enjoy this one. I gave up on "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. It's a retelling of David Copperfield, set in the modern day Appalachians. Undeniably clever, it was just a bit of a...
Yeah, I've considered the Sony and Fuji offerings but the Z50 seems very appealing. At the moment I'm thinking about getting both the 12-28 and the 16-50. I know there is a bit of an overlap but I love wide angle lenses for landscape and architecture, whereas the 16-50 seems like a handy general...
Well, it just shows that long-term cravings are not necessarily a good guide. The Leica Q produced very sharp images, but not really that much better to my eyes than I have had from APS-C or even M43 cameras with decent lenses. The EVF was big and clear but a bit over-contrasty and saturated...
My immunotherapy drug has a list price in the US of $15,000 per dose. I believe the NHS pays more like £5,000. I, of course, have to pay nothing for it. Thank you, Nye Bevan!
Pretty much all the images in this thread by @TNcasual would qualify, but the second colour image is the one that really hits the mark for me (the portait orientation with the saling boat).

And here is the Q kitted out with the half case and thumb rest.
First impressions very good. I'm getting to grips with the user profiles which I think are the way to customise it nicely.
So...I did a thing today! I've ordered a Leica Q from MPB. I've craved one since they were announced...and a few weeks ago I found out that I have stomach cancer, and not bad indigestion after all. I've just started on my chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and all the indications are hopeful. But...
I've been reading a lot about the CL recently. I can feel a probably ill-advised amount of spending happening soon. Tbh, 6 years support from Leica will do for me.
You could give Brave a try. It's another Chromium based browser but it is excellent for blocking ads and trackers. I've been using it as my main browser on my Android devices for about a year with no major issues. Occasionaly it throws a small wobbler and needs to be restarted but apart from...
I quite like the term Compact System Camera or CSC. That is used by some large dealers and a few journalists, but it never really replaced 'mirrorless' overall.
There is still an arboretum, which I didn't get round to visiting this week. I have been there in the past, when the trees were really still quite small. There is a much more established arboretum nearby in the village of Swettenham which was created in the 50s by Bernard Lovell (the man behind...
The famous radio telescope dish of Jodrell Bank has been a landmark of the Cheshire countryside for 67 years. I last visited it about 28 years ago, since when a lot of money has been spent on the 'discovery centre' which explains the history of the dish and what it is used for. But the chief...
From Jodrell Bank radio telescope, Cheshire. The curvy building is the new 'discovery centre' and the steps are just steps. All done in Silver Efex Pro.
