    Having a terrible time in the winter league. Keep drawing bad pegs but worse still i'm just fishing like an idiot. Any used a G90 pole? Think it's time for an upgrade.... that'll fix everything.

    smr's Astrophotography

    I bought a HE3 pro dark frame modified, power supplies, ASI pro and some other kit to use with my DSLR and literally every night since October its been cloudy. Can't get a decent night in Sheffield. Seriously considering just selling it all :-(

    FloppyPoppy is learning Photography

    I see kingfisher close to where I live (like within a 5 min walk) but its a really popular walking / riding path and I don't think the local youths would leave me a alone if I were to sit in camo gear trying to snap it. I need to find a quieter place. I'm constantly putting a 150-600 sigma in my...

    Which camera body

    Thanks - I was leaning towards Nikon as it made more sense. The Sony bodies do look nice though, but as you say I'm not shooting sports. The fastest might be moving animals etc, but I'm not pushing the envelope.

    Which camera body

    Hi all, Currently have a Nikon D7100 and a few lenses such as a samyang 14mm, 35mm f1.8, a 70-200mm and maybe another but I forget. I'm wanting another body so my wife and I can shoot together and I *think* I want either a Z7iii or a Sony A74. What would people go for? I the Nikon offers the...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I record my runs on Strava, and I'm comfortably under 10 min/miles so I'm likely going too fast. I had read about the quad imbalance and that doesn't make a lot of sense given the riding I do. In terms of weight I'm around 87kg @ 5' 8" as opposed to a cycling...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I've started to try and get into running. I'm a cyclist so have a decent level of endurance, although I have some weight to lose, but I find that my knees just scream afterwards. I'm certain I'm doing too much, however from 0 to 6 miles/week over 3 runs and I'm in agony.... Bought new shoes...

    Staying in Dallas for ~5 days: car hire or taxi / Uber?

    I travel to Dallas 4/5 times a year and I use taxi's. There's loads and there's less chance of annoying an armed local. Downtown Dallas is all walkable I'd say but if it's hot it's pretty unbearable. There are some bigger malls which you'd need to take a cab to.

    Didn’t know you played Boo. I only play house chess and had a rating of about 1150 so we should have a game sometime!

    Cities Skylines 2 is Official!

    No sure that this is a massive step up from CS1 - apart from the roads having the services.... I dunno, I'll give it a few more hours.

    Takis

    They're mega. I get these when I go to Juarez for work. The lime ones are my favourite. Also they aint £3/bag in Mexico. But you might get shot whilst buying them, so swings and roundabouts.

    Show me your Astrophotography setups

    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a Sky Adventurer GTI goto mount tomorrow and using it with a Nikon D7100 and a samyang 14mm F2..... This might end up being a massive faff with all the bias frames required etc, but did the typical 'how hard can it be' thought process....
