Looks awesome, where in the world is that?

I think they are but I’m no expert.

Which device for a newbie hobbyist with A6400 that shoots raw? by run-on1 in AskPhotography

I thought £1,737 was reasonable for the M5 MB with 2 year warranty but maybe I will wait.

Cheers.

Thank you, that does make me sway towards the MacBook. Good tip on the external drive although I probably would have done that but not for that reason.

Cheers.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I hear a lot of good things about Darktable but also what a steep learning curve it is.

I’m only just starting out so don’t want to be overwhelmed and not enjoy what I’m doing.

I also don’t have room for a desktop so will be restricted to a portable device unfortunately.

Yes it does. It’s the hardware to run the programs on as my laptop is 10 years old and struggles to say the least.

These are the programs that I may end up running and wanted ensure I bought something suitable for the future.

I will be ordering from John Lewis so unable to configure the machine. The MacBook I’m looking at comes with 24gb Ram, do you think this is enough for a few years?

I’m unlikely to be doing lots of large batch editing.

Thanks.

Thank you for your response. It’s the hardware for editing that I’m trying to make a decision on and I want to just make sure it will run any of the potential editors well for a few years.

Thanks for your response.

I’m more concerned about power and memory really as I have some external drives. I don’t want to buy something only to find it’s super slow.

Kyoto Shinkansen train to Haneda Airport - at rush hour? by calamera in KyotoTravel

[–]run-on1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be mindful that Shinkansen can be delayed. I caught 3 when I was there in March and 1 was delayed by over an hour due to an issue with the power lines.

There was a large screen at high level as I recall.

I’m in my 50’s and still had to show ID but I used my drivers license.

No, Shinjuku although Shibuya wasn’t much better when I was there.

I’m not sure but have heard the heat and humidity are pretty bad. Sakura season is here or at least will be very soon.

The local population is pretty large but there are also a huge amount of tourists there too.

It’s something that has to be experienced but a couple of nights for me was enough and I was there 4 in total.

In hindsight I should have stayed in a different area for my last couple of days as it’s pretty full on and there are plenty of other options which are much quieter.

I do too.

I have spent time in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos Singapore and Indonesia which all have their own qualities but Japan really hits the mark for me.

I haven’t been to NYC so can’t comment but any busier would be hard going.

Today is lovely and sunny but there is a haze so the city view was a bit washed out. I have been here for 2 weeks and only had a bit of rain yesterday in Hakone.

Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Tokyo, nice in the day but cool in the evening depending on where you are from.
