Anyone else unable to open the image?
I'm getting 'Oops, ran into problem' and had the same with some images (I posted) on another thread last week.

Like this one a lot.

Don't know why that has reappeared.

Rather than clutter this thread with it.

Took this with a point and press Olympus.
I took about 150 photos that day, this was the one I knew was right as soon as I snapped it

I do like a nice aircraft shot Years ago I used to go to quite a few air shows but have never scanned any of those pictures in. Managed to get to Old Warden in 2016 so I have a few pictures from there on the computer ... this is probably the best one:

This thread reminds me I really should sell the 7D and all the lenses that have been in the cupboard for the past couple of years.

Are they not things you can use again?

Probably, used to go on holiday with a photography bag but now can't be bothered with the hassle to be honest.
Don't think they have been out of the cupboard for couple of years so better replaced with a bit for a car.

I’m sure there’ll be some good photos on this thread with lockdown ending soon.
what gear do you use? I have a Nikon d5200 and a 28-105mm lens.
I’m still a big fan of 35mm and used Kodachrome and and ilford b&w film a lot in my younger days.
Buying the c63 made me pick up a camera again, and hoping to get back into it as an on the side hobby

It will certainly be great to get out a bit more.

What gear do I use?

Currently most of the time, I use a Canon EOS 7DII, EF-S 15-85mm and EF 100-400mm L II. This covers a pretty wide range of applications with my main (photographic) interests being Wildlife, Motorsport and Family.

I also have an old EOS 50D that I recently rescued (yay! great to have it back) after the shutter jammed whilst on Iceland a few years ago and last but not least, an EOS M kit that I picked up for cheap when Argos cleared out their stock some years ago.

Plus a few other lenses; EF 85mm f/1.8 for portraits, an EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro for flowers, bugs and close up stuff (although the 100-400 almost makes this redundant) and a Sigma 10-20mm for ultra-wide applications like interiors, landscapes, architecture.

I’d like to fix my old Pentax ME Super (which jammed a couple of decades ago) and have a play with 35mm film again.

About 4 years ago I sold my D800 (prosumer) and the lenses (also prosumer) that I'd accumulated over about 20 years (plus some of my dad's from the 60s that I'd had adapted). I'd been using a Sony Rx100 as my pocket camera for a while and and really like what it produces. It only lacked a bit of Zoom range, so I also have a Sony RX10 (both surperb for the price point and convenience).

No more lugging heavy bags full of cameras, flashes & lenses.

I looked at my Lightroom catalogue recently ant there are over 20,000 pictures that I never look as (not including all the stuff in the Icloud) so I sometimes wonder why I bother

I do have a photo printer A2 size I enjoy seeing the output. Have done a few prints framed and on wall around the house.

Canadair 415 - very cool . Have watched the older versions operating in Greece a number of times. Always impressive.

I've been an enthusiastic amateur photographer for many decades, and in my 35mm days traveled with at least two bodies (loaded with different films) plus a bunch of lenses. My favourite SLR was the Olympus OM-1n (all manual), which was an absolute gem. I carried a decent quality compact with me at all times, which for many years was an Olympus XA rangefinder. In 2003 I took the decision to go all-digital and sold virtually all my film gear, only keeping my first ever camera (a Cosmic 35 from the '60s) and a clockwork Lomo compact I'd used for aerial photography. I still have the list of what I sold, which might spark a few memories for some



I decided from that point I would limit myself to a good compact, a single SLR body, and a couple of lenses ... and have stuck to that ever since.

Until very recently I've been using a Canon EOS 20D with 17-85 EF-S and 70-200 F4L EF lenses, plus a Sony RX100 ii compact. When I retired last October I was lucky enough to get a generous gift allowance from the company and after a lot of research plumped for an Canon EOS R6 (not an SLR, of course!) because of the excellent tracking focus. I'm currently using my 70-200 F4L on it (via a mount adapter) while waiting for the RF 100-500L zoom to become available. Large sensor compacts are so good these days that I'm only intending to use the R6 for 'action' photography (dogs & aircraft), and will keep a long zoom on it permanently.

Somewhere or the other I have a large camera bag inside of which is a Nikon D5000 and a selection of lenses. I used to carry it everywhere so I could get shots like these:





But most of the time my wife took better photos using a £100 compact camera (or now her far more expensive iPhone X)




So now I no longer bother lugging all that equipment around. Less candid or specialist photos but a far more relaxed way of getting about.

Gotta admit, our phones these days are very capable of taking excellent photos, and you can now buy zoom attachments for them as well. Also easier to manipulate digital pics as well rather than the old ways of playing about in the darkroom. Used to love developing my film and printing them, but alas, times have changed.
Pity the fast lenses these days cost a fortune. Sigma and tamron can be had for pennies for 35mm but not our dslr’s

Phones can take decent enough pictures. On a small display they look fine. It’s only when you get them into something like Lightroom or Photoshop and view on a decent size monitor or print them out, that the deficiencies due to the tiny sensors start to show up.
