Digital cameras
Terry has been thinking about changing the format of the groups bi-weekly ‘competition’ during our continuing confinement. We are proposing the following:
- Open to all M+L U3A members rather than just the camera group
- 1 image per person to be submitted for display on the web site each week
- The image to be emailed with the subject photolockdown to Terry
- Images should be taken recently with any kind of device and subject!
We will give it a go and see what pans out. The ‘listed’ subjects will be abandoned.

Technology and science – WOW
Interested in the weather? I certainly was and for quite a few years wondered if a PWS (personal Weather Station) was the way to go. And then, in 2008 i took the plunge and bought my first ‘all singing’ station, a Mydel unit from China.
The supplied software was pretty basic and I happened to come across Cumulus, a fabulous coding from Steve Loft. The rest is history.
The station lives in the back garden and feeds data to my web pages and to the Met Office WOW (weather on the web). Click the links for more.
