Just back from Vegas on Monday! My advice would be take your tripod if you have room or if you have a gorillapod take it for night. 35mm was also handy for me at night to hand hold some shots. I also agree the polarizor is a must for daytime shots - we hired a boat on lake mead and it saved me...

ditto! Except I've just bought a 35mm prime so my budget has just gone down to £600 :lol:

Hi does anyone know of any good locations to go and watch the fireworks and hopefully get some good shots? I'm not sure if going into the park is a good idea - I might be better off on one of the bridges further along. Thanks

thanks for the help everyone. I have actually had the bell and howell one on my camera and used it before i read up on the dangers! But im too scared to try it again :lol: Looking at that list i wont be putting the cobra one anywhere near it !!

Hi Ive not posted in here before but i figured this was the best place to come for some advice! I have a Nikon d3000 and my dad found 2 old flashes from his old olympus slr. I have a Cobra Auto 210 and a Bell and Howell auto 20TZ. Does anyone know whether these are safe to use with my...
