I thought you would all be out there already , as for the 300 I find if the light is good turn off the IS for the BIF (or PIF!) it will focus much quicker, not that its slow but it does help a tad, I have always found that its really sharp on my 5D2 its that lens I normally use for my dragonfly, lizard and deer shots, have a good day, and bring me back a razorbill please

Your lens is loooooovely!!!!! Sadly no room in the camera bag for a razorbill ... Sorry!!

I think i prefer the first overall, but you do get to see the whole image in the second one.

Perhaps adding titles to the images in the second version will give it a bit more structure?

It definitely is a good upgrade - just don't forget to tweak the preferences in CS4/5 to allow it to use more of the newly available RAM (Edit>Preferences>Performance).

Thanks for that, I would not have realised I need to do it, I just assumed it was all automatic

And JD I strolled past the Smokehouse the " boutique fish and chip shop " as Cindy called it with it's long que and the average price for fish and chips was £7.95 for a 8x4x3 inch box of fish and chips, I didn't get any I'll stick to the chip shop round the corner where I get something 3 times as big for £4.50 or your favoutite down in Sandgate.

That last picture looks as though it would be fun.

Bargain chips then, I take it you all shared a portion!!

I'm off to Milton Keynes for the wedding of a friend of Cindy. We've been press ganged into doing the photo's but as it is a very modest registry office do, I'm not too worried about my complete lack of experience and questionable photographic skills Sunday I'm off to Romania for work so no rest for the wicked this weekend

Fingers crossed with the weather, I am sure you will be fine

Beauty of a shot

For those interested in the beach photos, you can see how Ian and I worked the light to beat the sun as they walked down the beach here;

We used a 580Ex behind a shoot through umbrella using Pocket wizard flex system. The flash was in manual at 1/4 power.

and this is the result:

Nicely done I'm going to have to invest in some pocket wizards this year I think.

Game of Thrones rocks!

I just love some people's ingenuity when it come to saving money DIY CAMERA STABILIZER

I'm well P*** off. I've taken a load of photos today, get home start to down load them, get 54 on to the hard disk, and it looks like the CF card has died
The camera cant format the card, neither will the computer.

Ooh, that's not good news!

Try recovery software to see if it will get them perhaps.
