Camera Craniums: The Photography Community for Enthusiasts

As per title! Have a great day tomorrow - hope Santa brings all you would like (Well, that's not likely I know!)  :stup:

A belated merry Christmas. Photographically, I got a book on the first 30 years of Scottish photography and a book on the history of 19th century art. I also received a set of post it notes in the shape of cats, and a set of paper clips ditto.

I had nothing relating to photography this year - there is nothing I realistically need (Well if I had won the lottery big, there are a few things I would get  ::) )

But I did get a few things for my cycling hobby. I got a new winter top, fingerless gloves and water bottle - and I put some money from my Mum towards a rear radar (It detects vehicles coming up from the rear and displays them on the cycling computer)

I've only been back on a bike for the last year or so - picked up my first (2nd hand) bike around a year ago - and bought a new one in July. I've ridden over 2500miles in 2024 and am aiming to double it this year - as I have a fairly major change to my life coming in April - semi retirement :) 13 weeks away - not that I'm counting or anything!

Cycling computer! I still find the idea of having more than 3 gears amazing - and intimidating. Then again, things were all simpler back in the 1950/60s...

Yes cycling computer - measures, speed, distance, altitude and navigates to either a route you create or one it creates for you.

As for gears - I have 12 - 2 on the front ring and 6 on the back. And you can get them that change electrically via pushbuttons on the bars, which are wireless too. Oh and they can change automatically depending on cadence, speed and make sure you don't cross chain. (I don't have this yet - but I can see the use if you have arthritis in the hands!)
