Nice shot!

Any idea on what the times are for those gatwick flights? Might go and stand on the roof of my office when they are scheduled to fly by.

See, thats part of the appeal. Although i love teh iPad - i think they are too big and heavy for me to carry around regularly. I have a Kindle Touch which is a similar size to this Nxus 7 and it really is small enough to put in a jacket pocket. I would need a bag to take the iPad, by which point i might as well have taken the Macbook

It sucks that I should know this without looking but EK015 from Dubai to Gatwick lands at 12.30 and takes off as EK016 at 14.25.Too much travel

You can also plug a memory card into this adaptor to view photos off the card.
The problem will be what version of Android your using. I'm now on ICS and it works fine

Having ordered one of those, I read this on the DSLR Controller website:

HTC devices specifically do not work.
HTC does not generally implement the USB host feature.

Bugger!

Probably not...depends on how big the place is and how much stuff they have.

I reckon that roof would be a top spot for the landing shot Rob. Problem with being on the deck around there is the number of lamposts in the way.

It took a few frames to get it perfect, but the Octa is off to the left, and positioned inline with him, feathered back towards the honeycomb. Most of it is hitting him whilst some catches the bees. Unfortunately as people tend to move around a lot, 1 out of every 5 frames was good

Thanks for the kind words again

Nice to see some people (even from South Africa!) are commenting and requesting certain careers. If anyone has any suggestions or know someone good for a feature, feel free to shout

What are you using to do that with? A lot of tools get screwed by lack of free space to "work in".
