Just got back from Egypt on Wednesday, managed a couple of shots in relation to the situation there. Had to take it through the window of the coach.

Hi, thought I'd post this pic, until the trip to the airport we had seen little to do with the uprising in this fantastic country. I'm not after any C&C as such, as it was taken through the window of the bus on the way back to Luxor airport.

Hi folks, no problem taking my stuff through security either at Birmingham or Luxor, went straight through the xray machine with no further checks. Will post a few pics from Egypt later!:cool:

Actually a few years ago we were going through the channel tunnel and we had a full swab check on the car (which was about a week old):bonk: which showed traces of fertiliser, apparently useful in bomb making. The security guy asked if I'd ever used a gun to which I said yes due to the fact I...

excellent responses to my original thread. I've been taking all the other redundant stuff out of my bag today to make space for a book and my Ipod. More importantly now that I'm all in the know about taking my camera kit through, any tips or thoughts on pics I should be looking to do. We're...

I dont intend to take all my kit, just the body, standard lens and my 70-300, hope to use the rest of the space for the usual stuff to get through the flight, aolng with any junk I buy at the airport! See you all in a week or so!

Thanks for all the replies, really helpful! Hope I'll have a few decent photos to post when I get back.

Hi, I'm off on holiday next week and have never travelled through an airport since I've had my camera bag full of gear. Although I don't intend to take every bit of kit, I want to take the rucksack and camera with lenses on as hand luggage. Does anyone know if there is any particular security...

I'm really looking forward to using the 7D, but have been struck down with this damn flu since I bought it! At least the battery is charged though!

Just got mine today as well. My 500D look a bit sad, hope I find a good home for it!:'(

:wave:Hi from near Birmingham as well. Welcome to TP. :wave:

Thanks you two! I did spend some time cloning and healing but I guess that sometimes these things do at least make us, well me at least, learn something.:thumbs:

Hi, I took the photo below after recce'ing the site during the day, totally missed the fact that there were power cables right across the area I would be photographing. Basically I have tried to removed as much as possible of the power cables, but I'm sure there must be an better way. Yes, I...

Hi, yeah, I've had the 500D for a month or so now. Apart from the addition of HD video, the main thing is the difference in the pic quality, I guess simply down to being 15MP rather than 10.2MP. I was going to have the 450D but thought I'd splash the extra few quid to go for this one.

I'm really chuffed with it, it's really solid, and has loads of space for stuff. It also has a rain cover hidden away in the base which is pretty useful. It certainly looks the part and I don't see any reason why I would need to change it in the near future. I got the green one as Morris's...
