Yup, I used the 135L for both bouts. I have a feeling at Earls Court, they may have a bigger space between the track and the toggers or spectators area. If I get a spot, Ill look into this.

It would have been much better if they stuck us on the other corner. To the right of where you sat. Or near the door but I suppose that was a limitation of the hall.

I think the lighting in Earls Court may be worse. I'm not 100% sure though, as I've only been there twice and both times for beer festivals. My memory may be a bit cloudy.

But yea, the corner to the right of me or the opposite corner (behind the penalty seats) are the best spots to be in I think.

Well 1.8 should be good enough. a 50mm might be worth it. If we have enough space, ill take the 200 1.8L again.

Hi all. Anyone else suffering with hayfever today? My bloody nose won't stop running!

I got my 30D boxed up and sent off to Fixation for repair. Fingers crossed that it doesn't take long to fix!

Mines not been to bad this year, do you take anything for it??

If I remember! Just benadryll or zirtek but not too regularly.

Weirdly, I've not had any this year. I normally take those one-a-day jobbies to sort it out.

And Fixation are good. The repaired my old 24-105 without any problems at all.

Not been so bad today, but recently i have had a few bad days. Sneezing is very painful for me at the moment so i am dosed up on Loratadine.

This took me about 2 hours to set up- doing things one handed is such a pain in the arse! I went for a bit of a psychedelic colour scheme.

I am gutted because they arent a patch on Rich's, but i will get some assistance this evening/tomorrow - then i will be back with a vengeance!

Crown Paint

For one handed, they are pretty damn good Rob............

Awesome. I think this is going to be something to try out on a rainy day.
