Blood transfusion undertaken, no longer itchy (nor attractive to bugs!)

Congratulations. Sounds pretty cool. I reckon you will be a pretty good teacher as you have a pretty good way with words.

Awesome......maybe thats what I need to get my photographic juices going again.....doing any in Auckland? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comments everyone!

No plans currently to do anything outside Welly, but you never know! As for titles 'god' will do... (or tosspot).

Ok, so whats a good tripod/head combo? want something damn good but the lighter the better... is there such a thing? Would be good to have a few suggestions before I go into the store and get overwhelmed...

Lighter tripods mean less outright stability. So if you buy a carbon Manfrotto 055, the aluminium cheaper variety will be a bit more stable. Of course a carbon 055 will be better than a cheap sh!tter so...

My opinion, but a boggo 055 Pro and a 3-way/ball head and man up regarding the weight!

Question for those with some technical/electrical knowledge...

Just sizing up the new house, and the room which looks ideal for the study/office only has a single plug point in there. Obviously I've got literally dozens of plugs to feed as does everyone with a big PC setup. My limited technical knowledge of electrics in houses is based on the UK system where all plugs are fused etc, but that's not the case here, just the ring main is fused?

So does it actually matter if you run lots of gear from one plug socket via surge protected plug boards as opposed to splitting the load over several plug points at the wall when the only the main switch board is fused, and the load going round the ring main is the same regardless?

Comments appreciated, especially as I can't really start fitting my own plug points to a rental property.

Cheers, Dave.

This is the pano I did from outside with the TS, I thought it was going to curve but this is how it came out of the stiching software, cool!

If you look at the left hand edge, a bit of Tony is visable (fully robed)

Jeez, I didn't recognise him with those clothes on.

Looks like you got a whole river on your lens!
