I love the "death trap" important information section - doesn't fill the user with confidence!

I know what you mean, but I don't think I could lift the camera to my eye - I feel as weak as a kitten!

If you can't reach the viewfinder then you could use Live View instead.

If anyone is on the hunt for Redkites I can take you to the spot where they have been introduced into the wild and they are regularly on the ground

Anywhere near my part of the SE?

Ahhh, another 10, 50 post pages to read. OK I cheated and skimmed through the photos. NICE!

Thought I'd drop by, as I've realised I leave in just over 7 weeks for the UK.
Been extremely busy, two back to back weddings last weekend, and still have a day job.

Anyway, would be good to organise a mid winter night shoot (4pm right?) around mid December.

Also how is everyone placed on December 26th? I realise it's Boxing Day (well at least we call it that in NZ)... Do trains work as normal? - I'm considering organising a large photo meet for this day for members of the facebook London Photography Meetup group and fellow POTN'ers.

I shall be hanging around London during the days of December 13 / 14 / 15 (Monday to Wednesday - thanks to Neal, my chaperone), sightseeing, and photo shooting. So could also do spontaneous meetups. Will likely be checking out
London Eye, couple of museums, Buckingham Palace, Camden (ok.. typical tourist stops) - Katrina has never seen London or ventured further than NZ / Australia.

December 16th, we'll be shooting Jon's wedding (motorsport photographer on these forums).

Around 17/18th, we will then be venturing up North to see Adam Gray (adam*) and hopefully be able to get as far as Scotland for 3-4 days. Although it appears most B&B / backpackers shut up over winter. I did Isle of Skye in November 2007 and had an awesome time. Perhaps we'll only get as far as Newcastle and Lake District.

Now to grab your attention, here's an HDR of a New Zealand beach a couple of weeks

Nice to have you back, Warren Not sure I can do Boxing Day but would love a catch up session on another day of your short stay

Thanks mate. I think the tablets im on for the Vit D has got calcium in it as well. Im not going to start anything myself, would much rather talk to my doc first coz i dont want to overdose on something (is that possible?)

*puts pharmaceutical hat on* You can overdose on Vitamins but you'd have to be popping a lot of them. Most multivitamins have several times the RDA anyway, as most vitamins are unstable (Vit C for example) and degrade over time and by law, the product has to have a minimum of the % RDA claim on the label until the expiry date. A fresh batch of multivitamins will be several times the RDA for some vitamins, older batches are closer to what you pay for. *takes hat off again*

I saw my doc yesterday and got straight on the antibiotics. Win for me!

Ditto for me last week. Of course, having "Dr" in front of your name (even if its in engineering) allows a bit of leeway in terms of self diagnosis

thanks - always worth it for photos!

the first one (flare) was the 5D mkII w/50mm f/1.4 and the other three were with the 7D & the 100-400mm

never underprepared for a stroll..
