I'm trying to upload the one I took of Clare Castle but its not working. Here is the disused railway station building. I want to get one of the track bed and platforms but there was too many people.

We sold the theta in Jessops. We had a display unit that let customers play with the output. Very clever especially now the camera hid itself from the output.
360 cameras are very niche as Nikon found with their poorly selling camera.

Didn't realise Nikon did one. I picked up this older Theta S as I wasn't sure if I'd be into it and didn't want to pop £300+ that most go for. Been really fun so far. But in order to get edited photos uploaded I have to import them from the camera, edit them in the Retouch app, find the edited file in the phone storage and copy it to the Theta folder for the upload app to see it. I did pick up a silicon skin for it to protect it and the lenses.

I've watched some more, some are saying good as it has interchangeable battery which is good, it's also basically an action camera so tough and shockproof.
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
I think the outer lenses also are replaceable, so basically just covers for the real optics underneath. Just replace them if they get scratched. They're quite solidly made.

I've known quad bikes come a cropper here. The route around the edge is "interesting" enough for me. The middle river bit is actually quite big bolders of rocks. I've inspected it when the water has been lower. Not something you'd stand much chance of staying upright through.

Don't know about nights, more afternoons when I go. They seem to disperse late afternoon from Masham when Bordar House cafe stops serving hot food. Similar at Richmond but fish shop in market place does a good meal all day.
Squires cafe at Sherburn in Elmet is a big bikers place including evenings.
Car park gets packed with bikes at weekends at this time of year.

The quality of Sony glass is astonishing, compared to the basic lenses I had on my old Canon. It's one of the reasons I swapped. Canon do fantastic glass in their L-Series but it's aimed primarily at full frame shooters and is really heavy - I wanted to stick with crop sensor as it's a lighter form factor and Sony do G glass specifically for that range as well. It's a lot lighter than the full frame G and GMaster glass, even though the mount is the same) so that's what I went for. Much better focussing, lighter, better glass, EVF as it is mirrorless - I'm a happy bunny.
That shot is using the 70-350G, wide open at 350 at minimum focussing distance, no crop, JPEG, straight out of the camera with no tweaks.

Should be fine as long as you laid it down gently and the derailleur hanger is not one of those made of cheese.
We do get a lot of customer throwing bikes in the back of cars derailleur side down and then driving them home on a bumpy journey, followed by a phone call wondering why their gears don't work after it was just serviced though.
I think the horses hoods is a gang thing. Some round here wear capes.

How does this work, is it on your head? Or do you just spin around panning. Which obviously isn't as cool as it being on your head.
I could mount it to my head and do a 3d scrollable video, but I might get some looks. I just had it mounted on a selfie stick with feet and fired it via the app after walking out of shot.
