It takes a brave photographer to say there's no room to learn. Every photographic experience/situation is on the learning curve.

The problem with UFOs is that by their very nature they tend to turn up unannounced and fleetingly, sometimes undetectable by conventional means. You might have to sit there for years with your extremely high end camera and super duper glass, just waiting...........................................and waiting. It's not like twitching rare birds. I like this topic, it's so tongue in cheek!

Abducted by aliens???

The lens from the eye of a newt is reckoned to be quite good!

One man's meat....................

I agree with the comment re rudeness. If you don't agree with another person's comments or point of view put your counter-argument and leave it at that. Don't insult them or impugn their abilities. Just be reasonable!

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. If an image is 'soft' (considered to be a less hurtful description than out of focus) it's because it's out of focus, to whatever extent. No software on earth can change that

I'm starting to think that the so-called weight advantage of mirrorless is becoming somewhat overplayed. For instance an Olympus OMD EM1 with a battery grip and a 12-40 PRO lens is no lightweight and is quite bulky.

They don't call me Slowhand Tony for nothing!

I live just up the road from the site of the Standard-Triumph works, Canley, Coventry, now a Sainsbury's Supermarket and business park. I believe the US market TR6 had a carburetted engine owing to emissions regulations, whereas the UK etc version had fuel injection. I drove Triumph 2.5 PI police cars with Warwickshire Police in the early 70's; same engine as the TR6, not quite so powerful. Great performers when they were running well but a little unreliable in the fuel department.

I believe all Land-Rovers, prototypes of which were first shown at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948, were assembled at the Meteor Works, Lode Lane, Solihull. Rover HQ, the company having graduated to motor manufacture from bicycles, was in Coventry until 1947 when it moved to the Meteor Works, originally built as a 'shadow factory' prior to and in anticipation of, the Second World War, for the production of aero engines and airframes. The Coventry factory was bombed in 1941 and never resumed production of cars. Some Land-Rover part were manufactured in Coventry then shipped to Solihull, some 12 miles away. A 1960 Land-Rover would definitely have been born in Solihull.

I can understand that an image can be sharpened to some degree but that isn't the same as correcting focus; I don't think that an out of focus shot can be corrected to the extent that it looks normal. It's not like correcting exposure etc; what you have is what you've got and there ain't no going back other than re-taking the shot.
