Another quick question: I'm looking to start building up a small portable lighting kit. I've used some stuff before but never owned. Looking at a basic stand to use with my Speedlite, then umbrella+swivel. Any suggestions for where to get stuff in London, without breaking the bank? I know Manfrotto does this type of gear - is it worth the extra dosh?

TIA!

If your looking for cheap try Amazon or ebay I've picked my stands up for around £10 on the former and speedlite softboxes etc off both for around the £40 mark depending on size if you want to keep costs down it's a good way to go.

We went down to Henstridge in Somerset to see this, circa 1990/1991, which makes me about 7 in that photo.

Unsure who the afro guy is

Thanks for the comments too... I'll dig some more out

Edit, my mistake. It was 6th Jan '96 and it was at Stapleford Aerodrome, Epping area.

On more mundane matters...............​stitches out tomorrow, really would like my hand X rayed as though no bones broken I am not sure what sort of damage I did. I will have to see what the practice nurse says about it but the movement in the finger has been affected???

Uh oh, not the shutter finger too I hope

Krakow for a couple of days for work. Quite a contrast to freezing January, with temps of 35-37C. VERY crowded. But still pretty.

evening guys, just popping in, to see if anyone might be interested in some kit...

fingers crossed things will work out next week, and I'm upgrading gear, I should have for sale a 5D2 and a 1D3...open to offers...
You've all seen what they do, so not going to drone on about spec etc. anyone interested?

(FYI I'm most likely getting a 1DX, 5D3 and 300 F/2.8 II)

Looks like a fascinating place..............and these two are the money images for me. Actually I could imagine them as cards or even in a magazine???

Oh....yes, RH index finger! I do not do things by halves They decided I did not warrant having it X rayed and though there was some thinking as she called one of the GP's in as she thought there was (still) an infection in it saying maybe I should have another course of Anti-biotics???

But left me with "just look after it" and see how it goes.....well it has only been just over a week so plenty of time for the remaining swelling to subside and then see whether there is any long term effects on its movement???

A&E was such a mare of a wait if I need it looked at again I will try the nearest "Walk In Centre" but lets not be negative ~ time will tell
