  1. Chris, I think we need a photo of you suited up with your Big Boy pants on…..
  2. Totally agree with Dave. There are a good few folks here, whose views I respect massively, who see the Adobe subscription as a rip-off. However I’m with Dave. I’ve been using LR since it was first introduced and the gradual improvements in capability have been fantastic. It is the most significant contribution I’ve had to improving my image end results. The recent subscription increase was a bit hefty but I still think it remains an outstanding product at a fair price.
  3. Killintime! (love the name) Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us. We hope you really enjoy the forum. Best wishes Tim
  4. Nikon have announced a firmware update to the Z8. Version 3.10. Available as usual from the Nikon Download Centre/Center
  5. Hey John I tried to find in My Orders on Amazon what mesh pouch I had bought - but couldn't find it! On the LSD, I have a Zeagle BCD and can j-u-s-t about squeeze the LSD into the Zeagle Tech Utility Pouch - the one with a small secondary compartment. The pouch is good as, in addition to the zip closure, it has a D-ring inside which makes it easy to clip accessories inside the pouch and not worry about them floating out if the pouch is accidentally left open. I've got the Retra Reflector and Macro Rings set up so that they can be clipped inside the Zeagle pouch. No way will they all fit but I find, usually, that I am using a combination of them and can, generally, store things I'm not using in the pouch.
  6. Yeah, like Craig @humu9679 and Lewis @Lewis88 .... just get ULCS arms and Stix. I bought mine in 2000 and they are still good as new.
  7. Hey Fabrizio! A warm welcome to Waterpixels. Good to have you with us. You sure are in a great place to pursue the photography! Best wishes
  8. Hey Chris I had the same sort of hunt a good while ago when trying to find a way of carrying the Retra LSD. Retra used to sell a pouch for the LSD but I don't think there was sufficient demand and they stopped. If anyone has one they don't want, DO let me know! So I hunted around and found a nylon mesh pouch on Amazon which worked pretty well. Inexpensive, flexible.... and I rigged up a couple of carabiners on to it.
  9. The Sigma is fine with any of those domes. I suspect the Tamron will need the widest possible - so 8”.
  10. Hi Evan Great to have you with us and a warm welcome to Waterpixels. We hope you really enjoy the forum and look forward to seeing some of your pics on the site. Best wishes Tim
  11. Waterpixel's FansOnly?
  12. Yeah, I agree. I don't think I've ever turned down the HSS output. Usually it's shooting into the sun and you need as much power as possible to overcome the sunlight and illuminate something that's in the shady side.

    Leave the rectilinear behind, use the FE and crop as necessary? That's my usual WA minimalist-gear approach for, eg, the Red Sea
  14. Hi Nicholas! Welcome to Waterpixels. We hope you really enjoy the forum. Best wishes
  15. Wasn't the Spinning Jenny invented in 1764 supposed to kill off the textile trade?

  17. The latest edition of the excellent online Underwater Photography Magazine (UWP), edition 146, is now available. And it's free of course...... Link is here: https://www.uwpmag.com
  18. Hi Tim! Always good to have another Tim on board. Welcome to Waterpixels. We hope you enjoy the forum.
  19. It's possible that it coincided with me deleting the .heics. Try reloading.....
  20. Hey Lauren The .heic images that you have attached don't work and I'm going to delete the place holders. As Dave suggests, much better if you attach .jpgs. No-one really wants to have to download individual .heics even if they do work. Good luck with the sale.
  21. I wouldn't necessarily rule that out. As Chris suggested, drop Pavel a PM and explain the issue. He's really helpful.
  22. I don't know how complicated it would be to enable TTL with HSS but I do wonder why you would bother. Manual exposure with strobes isn't difficult - far from it - and using HSS doesn't make a great deal of difference, if any.
  23. Hey Chip Sounds like you don't have that dark band issue that Nemrod is getting? Tim
  24. Hi Wiggy Nice to have another Brit resident on board. You've come to the right place for advice - and for help emptying your bank account. Good to have you with us. A warm welcome.
  25. Here we go again.... it didn't go well the first time! 🤣 Great to have you with us, Martin. A warm welcome to Waterpixels!
