What camera do you own?

[Craig]

Don't do it Craig, you'll only regret it

Considering that I have met sledger in real life and had a few drinks with him, what is the worst that could happen?

Just because the worst has already happened doesn't mean nothing else bad will, remember that

After Craig's recent "dick on hand" outburst, I'd be more worried about meeting him

Dark foreground, light background. Yes please.

Nice work.. Where is Meon Hill? is that on the Foss Way?

Naah, isn't miles away though, probably 6 or so from Shipston/Halford

[Craig]

Is that near Wales or in Wales itself?

[Matteh]

Nowhere near, is round where i live.

Only one in Wales is the Penrhyn Castle photo.

Lack of $$$$ means that I can't really afford a tripod ATM

Yeah they can get expensive. There are cheap ones out there though. I left this one in a hut on top of Hallasan ( a mountain on Jeju Island). Had to turn around 30 minutes down the track and head back up to get it. How I didn't realise I was missing a 5 foot long tripod has got me ****ed! haha Thank god it was still there, would have been an expensive trip.

I know a pro photographer (and he also shoots video for weddings etc.) and his best advice was for me to buy a $40-50 tripod and in his words, that is all I really need. He has a $1600 tripod (the handle alone is worth $700), but then he uses it for a $7000 video camera, so it is all reletative I guess.

Yeah, I'd agree. Unless you're heading into areas where stability will be an issue and/or you're making money from it as a professional I think that's all that's needed. If I was spending $1600 it'd go towards a new camera. Had a play around with the Canon 5D MkII the other day in the shop. It was dangerous haha

My latest offering:



That was taken on Macintosh Island Bridge, the new one they put in a few years ago, and yes the bridge is a downwards slope.



There was some sort of a haze through the air.

Some more will follow.

Gold Coast looks identical to my home town, see what the tourists mean when they say it's just "Australia with shacks" - although the hotels are about twice the height

[Craig]

I love the landscape of South Africa. One place I would definatly want to go to. Cape Town would be useful for two things - watching a cricket game at Newlands and going to the top of Table Mountain and then getting the **** out of there.
