PhotographyI’m have a Fuji XT 100 but would like a Fuji XT2. I know there are much better models being produced but I prefer to see the settings on the top of it as I hate menus. I also like to use the manual setting on my smartphone. I began with a very basic cannon dslr which I found awkward and cumbersome. As I responded what I realise is an old post now haha I’ve got out of doing any photography short of snapping the grandkids.ViewDate:

PhotographyHi Michael I’m new to it by about 2 years, but I’ve recently lost my mojo with everything going on. I was doing a professional course but gave up on that because I found it too hard. Although I’m still in with a chance of continuing with an extension I was given. I was at the portrait stage. I passed all the earlier modules but it was too pressured for me. I’ve also been doing another course running alongside the first which taught me far more than the first. I started with an old canon dslr then moved onto Fuji. I’ve also gotten some good portraits with my Smartphone using manual. I don’t care for portraits I like black and white, architecture, micro, and street.ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Can fully identify with everything you said regarding married couples etc.. I left the UK to live in Turkey for 4 years, 2 years teaching English in Istanbul. I am still in contact electronically with many of the friends I met from over there, in fact I made more friends over there. Came back here for a while and nothing. I had to move to Manchester for my job. I've been here since 2015 and I've not made one single female friend up here not one not a work colleague or anyone. ( I have two from my last job in Liverpool that thank God have kept in contact). There is something about the weirdness of British society in this way.ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Yes I agree there can be times when it would be nice to have a shoulder to lean on I'm not made of concrete!ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!It became obvious on the trip I went on that half of them had been on it before, in fact it was a regular thing and they knew each other. I'm off to Scotland in June cocid permitting but that's not a solo trip I expect couples and such to be on it but no problem I'm highly independent and will just go my own way. If someone gravitated towards me then fine but I won't go looking or feeling bad and excluded.ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Hi Thank you for replying. I've lost friends too one of 9 years over a really petty matter and another of 6 years. However like you I do have two solid friends I meet up with from my home city. These women are a bit younger than me one by 27 years and the other by 10 years but we forged our friendships when we worked together in the same nhs trust and kept in touch ever since. Nothing is expected from any of us but we can meet up and chat like it was yesterday. Terrible isn't it all moaning about being Billy no mates and yet get an offer to chat suddenly we're too busy to chat :)ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Absolutely agree. I went on a solos trip to Ireland. Yes groups of twos on it. The other singles didn’t want to know and scuttled off on their own. Nobody kept in touch after the event. I’m socially outgoing too. I gave up and just take my camera and act like I’m interested in something else. I’ve just been one of those people that has never really fitted into the age groups I’m supposed to fit in with. I’ve learned to live with it and take the attitude I’m there for me and for what I can get out of this experience because I’m tired of trying to fit in with the playground. I’m an extremely strong woman having been through so much in my life perhaps I’m still wearing my armour on the outside and that’s what people still see I don’t know..ViewDate:

PhotographyI am 67 and interested in photography I started an online course but lockdown caused me to lose interest and I didn’t finish the course. However I’m going on holiday to Scotland and Ireland next year and the snapping will resume I hope. Happy to chat to anyone else who does photographyViewDate:

Have you experienced ageism?Growing out the grey. I’m 67, went to the hairdressers today as I was told last time she would put a colour on it to help me grow out the grey. Got shown a colour chart with silver and slate colours I thought that’ll do me. They put something on my hair which after 2 hours turned out to only be a brassy toning down mask on the blondish hair that was left at the ends of nearly grown out grey which looked like I’d used Grecian 2000. Then I had a 60s looking cut and blow dry which annoyed me as I never have my hair like that. I felt I was treated like an old biddy that didn’t really care about my appearance or what I wanted. I’m quite young in my outlook. Needless to say I won’t be returning there again. -
