[Warning regarding sharing pics online!]

Makes me laugh seeing these threads, because ultimately everyone freaks out and disables their location services, which means theres another headache when people need to use things like google maps, or use a photo to remember where they were when they took it.

Im pretty nifty with a PC too and contrary to OP, Ill say that if you use a reputable image hosting service, like Imgur.com, they will strip your EXIF data to protect your privacy.

Panic over.

Edit. So nifty that my iPhone decided not to put any apostrophes in the right places and now wont let me edit them...

I did acknowledge that some (granted, most) platforms will strip the exif data. But it's a fact that some don't. I don't see anyone panicking, but I think you'd agree that when it comes to anonymity and firearm ownership - probably better safe than sorry. What features are you using which you depend on geo-tagging for? Think the extra level of caution outweighs bein able to plot your pics on a map.

hello, what shotgun ?

[How do snap caps work if the inertia depends on recoil?]

Why do you want to use snap caps?

Few reasons. I've read it's best to leave the pins in that state (as if they've been fired) during storage, not sure if that's accurate or not? But also I'd like the trigger pull to be part of my practice at home. I keep hanging around on the trigger and it's become a habit, it's causing me problems, need to practice clearing it between shots.

[A couple of shots]

These pictures are quality! First one is superb, how did you get your camera to focus on the clay when it's so fast moving?

[How do snap caps work if the inertia depends on recoil?]

Thanks for replies! I'd rather not give it a whack, I'll get the snap caps and use the safety switch.

[How do snap caps work if the inertia depends on recoil?]

My understanding is that the barrel selection works by the inertia using the recoil from the shot to switch. With snap caps there's no recoil, so how is it switching?

[Computer Keyboard - Alt]

What do you mean by incorrect symbols? You still see symbols - just not the ones you'd expect? Or is it as though the numlock isn't working?

[Holland & Holland anyone?]

I have a lesson there booked for the end of the month, looking forward to it. Looks like a lovely place. Will have a look at the royal o/u guns while I'm there - we can but dream.

[Barcelona now: 13 dead, 50 injured]

I'm all for carrying on as usual, but after seeing the aftermath video of today - I think a couple more of these attacks and I'm going to start thinking twice about venturing to certain areas. Never thought I'd hear myself say that.

Hey

 

Thanks for this, how should a Luddite switch this off on apple devices?

 

Thanks

Hi and welcome, not far from you.

 

Good stuff.

 

I'm open to suggestions of some good grounds to try.

 

I've been up to Owl's Hoot and NWSS mostly, both brilliant.

 

Manchester too, but their targets are a different ball game altogether!

[Mayweather vs McGregor?]

It's a farce but a sure intriguing farce.

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

I hate that I've bought into the hype, but I have.

Brand new to this forum, thought I'd add some value with a little bit of caution .

 

I'm a software developer (nerd) and have done some work with image manipulation lately as part of some projects I've been working on. One thing worth mentioning is the image metadata you might not be aware of. Images have what's called EXIF data embedded within them (apologies if you already knew this).

 

This EXIF data is as comprehensive as it can be, device details etc. but what's really interesting is that location (precise latitude and longitude) can be stored against it. If your camera app on your mobile has permission to access location, it may be embedding this data in your images. When you share these images, you share the EXIF data too. Of course, some platforms (this forum, for example), may compress the images and get rid of all of this metadata (whatsapp does), but some platforms don't.

 

Given the sensitivity of some of the pics you might post here (we don't want every tom, **** and harry to know we own a firearm and where exactly we live), maybe turn off your location permissions etc.

 

There are tons of EXIF data viewers if you google for them.

 

Any questions, feel free to ask.

 

Again, this forum may be safe from all of that - but still a tip worth knowing I hope

Hello, from Liverpool.

 

Been reading this forum for some time, hoping to start getting involved in some events and competitions now that I'm making some progress.
