Exposure etc is under the little arrow in the header area of the camera app, and it flips the photo/portrait row into another set of controls.

One from Edinburgh a few weeks ago. Shot from Samsung A71 so gets very grainy the more you zoom in. Hoping to invest in a phone with a decent camera soon.

From last weekend by Stickle Tarn in the Lakes, 3 minutes later the visibility dropped to about 10 m so no more photography which was disappointing. Relatively pleased with this one though.

That's a beautiful picture, Snail.

Congratulations on the new job.  :wellin

I hope you find the CBT useful. I used to practice it on myself and I've used bits of it with clients too. Good luck with it, and all the very best with all you do in the future.

It's me, today.

I haven't drank in a month, I'm up to my ears in sertraline, I've been clinically diagnosed with PTSD, I'm doing CBT and today I got a job that's going to pay me £30,000 a year (my current job paid me £16,740 a year until last month, when I got a raise to... £18,000).

A year ago I wanted to kill myself, hated myself, and now all I can see is the big wide future in front of me.



Brilliant to hear you go the job, fantastic for you. Best of luck with the CBT, I found it very very useful, helped me immensely and I'm almost back to being the person I used to be. When you come off the sertraline, and you will, do it as the doctor says, don't just come off, you need to lower the dose gradually.

Stunning eyes btw.

I came off Sertaline when the first lockdown hit as I finally started enjoying life again. Shame I only had 3 months before hitting work again.

By the way there's going to be a lot of posters on here falling for you hook, line and sinker with that photo. Myself and Rob included by the looks of it, even though we're a set of old gits. So glad things are working out for you, enjoy. 👍

Well it's actually called Loch Kinord, but yes, the loch right next to Dinnet... good shout! I grew up just a few miles from there. Never thought it would come up on RAWK!

My mistake, I got the Loch and the place mixed up!

When I saw your pictures it looked a bit familiar, and then when you said East Cairngorms I thought it could be near Dinnet.

We've got family who live a bit further up around Strathdon area so we've been a few times now and did a walk around the Loch a few years back. Absolutely stunning around there, just an arse of a drive to get to from us, although it's worth it to drive up the A93 after Bridge of Cally.

Whereabouts were you from around there mate? My brother in law was saying lots of people who move up for the oil industry choose places around Aboyne/Banchory etc thinking they can commute to Aberdeen, then winter comes......

I'm from Aboyne/Tarland area. I knew quite a few folk from Strathdon as well.

Yeah Aboyne is like a little English colony of oil workers.  ;D It's a beatiful area but yeah a long way from everything.
