- Used OM-1 (first one) under a grand now, worth jumping from the GX9?
Mick, as a fellow "MFT isn't dead" person, do it. I went from the E-M1 II to the OM-1 Mark II this spring and the bird detection is proper good. The Mark I has the same sensor, so a used one is a…
Post #3, in Panasonic/OM - Moving from Lightroom to darktable, how long did it take you to stop hating it?
Not cheeky at all! I'll stick the settings in here once I've tidied it up. Fair warning though, it's very much tuned for grey skies and wet hills, so your Cork harbours might come out looking like…
Post #13, in Editing & Software - Forty minutes in one beech wood
This is the best thread I've read all week. Our woods are pure mud at the moment but the fungi are proper going for it. The knees thing is real, I've started taking a bin bag to kneel on.
Post #5, in Showcase - Edinburgh photo walk, a Saturday in early December?
Absolutely, we'll do a spring one too. Lucy and Drummond, I'll message you closer to the time. Anyone else, shout up. It'll be a small one, which is honestly the best kind.
Post #5, in Lounge - Best action camera for scuba diving? And how do I stop my footage looking blue-green?
Reading this whilst it's 9 degrees and sideways rain in Edinburgh. The Maldives. Honestly. Have a brilliant trip and post the turtle when you're back!
Post #8, in Video - PEN pre-orderers, has anyone had a dispatch date yet?

Post #2, in Panasonic/OM - Glen Affric on a very wet day, autumn colour just coming in
That's a good shout. I've a wee A4 printer I hardly use, I'll do both versions tonight.
Post #4, in Showcase - Clocks go back in three weeks. What do you actually shoot on winter weeknights?
Night street in the rain. Edinburgh on a wet Tuesday with the shop lights reflecting off the pavements is the most photogenic it ever gets. Only time of year the Scottish weather's actually on my…
Post #9, in Lounge - Predicting valley fog in autumn, what do you actually use?
Ha, the boots thing. Been there on Ben A'an more times than I'd like to admit. There's a UK inversion forecast that a lot of hillwalkers use, works off the temperature at different heights. Not…
Post #3, in Landscape - What did you shoot this weekend?
A year of this thread and I've just realised half my posts are about rain. Glen Etive yesterday. It didn't rain. I didn't know what to do with myself.
