Anyone getting constant iCloud login prompts? This type of shit is why I ditched windows. Not impressed.

None. Had that issue on an iPad though. It’s pertty annoying.

I put it on my MBP and took to work (photographer) to try shooting with Capture One pro 8. Shot all day on location tethered with an IQ260 back on a 5×4 and then a 5DMK3 shooting kitchens. Not one crash or problem. I had an iMac as back up but didn’t need it. Thumbs up for me so far, I haven’t noticed the MBP being slower or anything like that.

As for the visuals, I think it will grow on me. My machine isn’t a retina and as I understand it the fonts etc are optimized for a higher res screen but it looks fine.

I wouldn’t worry about getting a mac and having problems acsessing drives. There is always a work around and they are free.

As for what mac to get, is your work mostly studio or location? If studio get a 27 imac, non retina. If you shoot location go for a loaded MBP and as mrsmith has said, a decent monitor for processing images at home.

The iMac screens are not perfect but if you know what you are doing (you can always go by the numbers) it’s propely calibrated and you keep the brightness at 50% they are fine. I work with one and when I see my work in print I don’t find myself having to review my work flow.

As for lightroom…have you tried capture one pro? We use P25’s, P30’s and IQ260’s so it makes sense but we also use 5d’s and which ever way we work capture one is fab. You can use pro on trial for 60 days. Capture one DB is free to use but will only work with thier backs.

Hope you find a solution, yes there is a perfect of way doing things but it is also very costly and being self employed that probably won’t be an option so do loads of research and find what works for you.

Ummmm I fart myself awake on a regular basis and it gives me sleepy amusement and an undeserved sense of accomplishment. I will not be having a word with myself.

🙂

I want to pick it up and wedge it into an ice cold Corona.

Bang goes his no clams bonus

HA!

Well it doesn’t take a brain stergeon to work out this thread has haddock.

Excellent CF!!

I’m sure the driver did everything he cod to avoid this.

Looks orange to me, maybe an aggressive peach but no way is it red.

Not what i was expecting from the thread title. Disappointing.

Me too…we get loads of models in the studio so was hoping for some tips as ‘be yourself’ isn’t working. Apparently models are not impressed by farts.

It’s disgusting. Not sure which is worse, that a self proclaimed innocent man isn’t prepared to prove he is innocent but is quite happy to pay a crazy amount of money to make it all go away. Or that German law has a provision for such a person.

Maybe when you are in your 80’s and a billionaire freedom is paramount. But the fact he is paying them off just goes to show how corrupt and hypocritical the system is.

8 Hours you could have spent looking for a job…you did the right thing. Mostly.

I’m in Leeds celebrating and things are really kicking off….shortly 30, maybe 40 of us are going to a meet at the Cow and Calf. There will be a fire work display, but just one firework mind. Not before we have had a dry stone wall whippet race of course. Oh and the traditional ‘rate my cap’. I have a new flat cap that is a real show stopper.

Retro.

Your going to need more lemon pledge…..

I seriously doubt you are the one and only person who thinks it rubbish.

I would take it off, lay it on a bit of paper big enough and start plotting points! You want a point for the center of the bar and one for the top of the rise. Should give you a good idea. But then there is the sweep of a bar. No idea how to measure that!

You can always alter the height of the bar by adding or reducing spacers.

Do you know what the current bars are?

SEAT Altea Freetrack. 2.0tfsi from a golf gti with 200bhp remapped to 250. 4wd and many toys

Ugly but amusingly quick for a bus

From the back it looks like it’s about to start crying…..and then do a huge poo out of it’s face.

DS3 would be my vote for different but useable. Maybe a Giulietta or a Juke? Sadly if you want to be ‘different’ you really have to be different and suffer the consequences! Ahem…. Nissan PCube.

Edit….what do I know. Silver Astra on the drive. Not sure if I want to age 300 years or start selling pharmaceuticals every time I see the damn thing.

Got the little o ring on the valve? Sure you don’t need a rim strip? Is the rim tape really tight on the rim? Thats all I can think of!

Edit….I thought there was an o ring…..there isnt! sorry

I recently got one while on holiday in Barnstaple. 2 hour limit – I was there for 3 hours!

I know it feels crap getting a ticket, not sure if you just missed a sign or did it intentionally. You might have a case if the signs were not posted correctly but that would probably involve some evidence gathering on your part.

I would pay up and move on, that way it’s all over and you don’t have to spend weeks or months waiting for that court date. End of the day you made a mistake…no biggy.

Yeaaaahhhh 70s builders liked to leave bottles and various items in cavity walls. Caused damp according to my neighbour – I bought the house like it and haven’t got the funds to make it look nice

To be fair your pointing is like a Monet compared to mine!!!

Just checked it out on their website, it’s going for 499 so you got a deal there. I would guess some components will wear out pretty quickly at that price but that’s not a bad thing. Bit of money here an there when necessary and you will have the chance to upgrade. Hope you enjoy it.

More importantly.. whats with the differing cement colour in your pointing?! Did the builder not bring his colour matching chart. Cheap tho right?! And the weird pipe going into the drain? No way that’s for poo.

Nice.

I hear it’s the jet ski capital of the world.

That is a little known fact…as a result a days jet ski hire costs less than Tesco wants for a potato. I would be all over that.

I just ‘sharted’ in clinic

Gambled and lost eh?! Bummer.

Don’t like it. Feels in your face intrusive

Yep, it’s the way advertising is going and it will only get worse and I hate it. When Ad blockers stop working people will go for VPNs.

watersport trainers

Erm, ewww.

Anyway, the fashion now IS to wear socks with your sandals. One of the douche bag hipster girls at work said so.

Hummm, then what brakes? Maybe you just need a Shimano or whatever 203 post mount adapter?

What fork? Some, like the x fusion slants 2013 don’t require one.

I recently bought a second hand car, had a few scratches and on the rear bumper loads of deep ones where the previous owner hit something.

For the smaller scratches I used a rubbing compound and a micro fiber cloth to gently work them away. They were in the clear coat and not down to the paint or under coat. went over it a few times to make sure the scratch was gone. The finish then looked dull so I then used Autoglym polish to put the gloss shine back.

I did the same on the bumper but used a buffing machine rather than by hand. I got the worst out but it really needs doing by a pro. But for now it will do… I can hardly see it.

Getting rid of tar and bugs is best done with a clay bar and a lubricant. Works wonders. You can buy the sets for £20.

VLC plays pretty much anything, pretty sure it can repair certain files. Worth a look.

Should there be better provision for dog owners?

The dog and the welfare of the dog is the owners responsibility. Not that of the shop, pub etc, dog owners may choose to visit.

It’s your job to make sure that if you go to a place there will be somewhere to chain it up or whatever. Why should other people/companies do that for you?

I often check there is somewhere suitable to park before I head off somewhere to ride etc. I don’t expect provisions have been made for me based on my life choices.

Yep. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Used to get frustrated but now just think to myself it’s just one of those days. But then there are some days I feel like I’m terrible at my job or that big poo I think is coming turns out to be an unsatisfying little poo. Rough with the smooth fella.

With Rolf now getting added to the list of undesirables that were paid by the bbc. Is it time that the British public stood up and stopped funding the criminal activities that have/are happening at the bbc?

Yes of course you should. Also…if you have ever stroked a cat you should probably get tested for feline AIDS.

Seen a real nice bike earlier furnished on the back of a car, turned down a cul-de-sac, can still remember the colour and make of car now, be very easy to go back later and see which house its parked at. Simply not worth showing it off to the world.

Very good point, a couple of years ago I had some guys ask how much my bike was worth at a red light. It was on the back of the car at the time. In car it is!
