Pictures of my TV with my iPhone 6s coming shortly just charging it.

So what happens to iPad Pro then? What if you run out of space with 16GB iPhone?

Yep. The first time of being hospitalised last year prompted me to max out on my iPad Mini 3 purchase and get the 128GB and I did the same with my iPhone 6 too.

This meant that I could get all of my BBC drama/comedy/history and iBooks content onto both devices without making any selections when syncing (and leaving plenty of room for more). It also meant I didn't have to compress any more than the 320K AAC I normally use. (90 percent of it ripped from my purchased BBC CDs so far better than commercially available downloads.)

I am now waiting for Apple to double the capacity of iPad Minis and iPhones to 256GB before considering any future upgrades.

Can you delete your existing files then? Because when I delete mine they keep coming back again!

... this photo of my 65VT65 was taken on my Nokia mobile phone dating from 2006 ...

My Sony Ericsson K750i from 2006 (in a pub in Chichester having just scored a mint s/h book I was after) ...

... Chichester's old Market Cross taken with the K750i on the same day in 2006.

Good photos Chebby. Is it just me who can't take photos then?

hes got TVs propping up his TVs 😉

He seems to have raided the Blade Runner set, before breaking out the silver spray paint.

Rather than Gel's oniomania, perhaps we should focus on Son_of_SJ's eletro-hoarding. A digital intervention may be required!

I spotted references to the "Colonial Empire" and "Daily Mail." What are you reading?

How boring I prefer looking at shots of Gels TV

i find some phones may just not be that good at taking photos of tv's! i tried it myself gel after seeing your photos and my z5 couldnt get a good shot without it being blurry.

I now have the vast majority of 1st edition volumes of Martin Gilbert's 'official' biography of Winston S. Churchill. The photo was of volume 3. (I had a scraggy edition but then I replaced it with the 'mint' version in the photo.)

I only have a couple of 1st Ed. 'companion' volumes left to go. (I have hardback reprints of them as 'placeholders' for now.)

There are 8 volumes and 17 companion volumes (of letters, papers and other official documents etc.)

This is an old photo before i'd improved the collection with uniform dustcover editions, It now occupies two and a half shelves...

Please make no judgements. I have virtually everything George Orwell ever wrote including the four 1st Edition hardback volumes of his collected essays, journalism and letters that my father bought me back in my teens. This didn't make me a socialist and Churchill's biography hasn't made me a Tory. My passion for John Le Carre's books didn't make me a spy.

All volumes replaced for better ones were donated to our local library. They should have a virtually complete set now!

Please make no judgements.

There was honestly no subtext to my question! I've read a few books that discuss colonial pasts, legacies, and/or the Daily Mail.

Its logical when you think about it. You all want to show off how black your TVs go, so you wait for a particularly dark scene in a dark room. Poor phone camera with a tiny sensor thinks to itself "**** its dark in here, I better pick a long shutter speed to compensate so I dont get grainy". Your phones optical stabiliser can barely compensate for the hand shake due to the extended shutter speed, definately not for the moving pictures on the screen. Best thing you can do is turn the lights on and/or use a tripod.

Nah, I like Chebby's pictures in #52 and #58, the pictures are technically excellent!

 

[ellisdj]

wrong forum for me - I like AV not boring books - I would have let him off if he was reading about video calibration or even better room acoustics

this photo of my 65VT65 was taken on my Nokia mobile phone dating from 2006, of camera only 1.3 MegaPixel, and its lack of sharpness is a function of the low light level in the room, amongst other things.

What's the silver device toward the bottom left corner? It looks like something lifted from an early Ridley Scott film!

hes got TVs propping up his TVs 😉

Nearly correct, Paul. Not propping up, really. The silver device is my post #46 a 5.5 inch monochrome television, which my dear friend Ann bought for me for £10 (that's ten pounds) from Woolworth in July 2005. This was when I was living and temporary accommodation in Aberdeen (until December 2006) and I was commuting weekly between Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The accommodation in Aberdeen had no television, so this wee television was a godsend. Remember, at that time analogue broadcasts were still made, so I could get television programmes quite well. And the picture is quite sharp! Now there are no more anologue broacasts, but I can still operate the television by taking the RF out feed from an old video cassette recorder, which in turn is Scart-fed by either my Humax Freeview HD recorder or my Sony Freeview recorder. When Steve Withers calibrated all my four plasmas in July 2013 I asked him if he wanted to calibrate this very small one as well! In fact I have another 5.5 inch one, almost identical, in the the kitchen, next to my LG 60PZ950T plasma, see the picture below. That was also a gift, in August 2012, by another female friend, who was going to discard it otherwise. I get the impression that the Woolworth-branded one in the parlour and the Ferguson-branded one in the kitchen are probably both made by the same mega-factory in China. A closer look at something which is very, very similar to my two is this one here http://www.petervis.com/gallery/Toys_and_Games/5_Inch_Black_and_White_TV_With_AM_FM_Radio/5_Inch_Black_and_White_TV_With_AM_FM_Radio.html and my Ferguson one in the kitchen can be seen in the lower right corner of the picture as Steve Withers was calibrating the LG 60PZ950T.

Oh dear, I seem to have almost as many actual televisions as Gel has photos of his one television!! And I'll be getting a really big (but surprisingly cheap!) one in January!!!

Thats where I imagine my iPhone 6s is going after my refund.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I think I will keep my iPad Pro though.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I don't think I need 64gb or the iPhone 6s to be honest, and I don't like the way the camera works on the 6s, it keeps trying to film instead of just taking pictures. Cheers.

It sounds like you have the "Live Photos" feature switched on. Next to the HDR icon there will be a circular button, if you tap that it should say live photos off.

Ah cheers! Can't turn it on though, but handy to though.
