An awesome idea, I have just been looking through some of your other images, stunning work.

It was, but it does a lot and the idea was to use all it's features. One idea was to photograph bats on the wing as they break the beam, the camera and shutter beam could be set up and left overnight. Just one more thing I never got around to and ended up shooting eggs. I may shoot more eggs...

Me being a spanner... See, now that has just piqued my interest again...I paid £750 for this trigger so you are quite right, it wasn't cheep, it is a clever bit of kit though. It was designed to get birds on the wing using a beam but I used it for the sound trigger aspect, I may just have...

it certainly was Trevor, if nothing els, we had a good laugh doing it. Thats exactly why I thought I'd pose the question... has the fad passed and it's had it's time.

Some time ago I played with high speed photography and eggs. The issue I had was enough speed so I got a Shutterbeam sound and Motion trigger from Wex, bloody expensive mind and used it to trigger to the sound of an air pistol which shot the egg. Now, this has sat under my bench for some time...

I have a Lowepro Dryzone Rover, waterproof section at the base for the camera and a good size pouch up top for all other bits. I carry a Canon 1Ds, three Lenses, a tripod and lunch. It takes everything for a good day out and keeps the camera gear dry if the weather turns nasty. AND... it will...

Cheers Jim, I have not looked at media storage for some time now as I have not needed to. I suspect with the size of the cards available today it has become somewhat redundant. Two 64gb cards will be cheaper than replacing it and hold more images. Nige

Morning folks, I have a quick question to anyone with the tech savvy to help with this. I have a Canon M80 Media Storage Card Reader that I have been using with CF Cards from the Canon 1Ds MkIII without fail. I have the latest firmware update (I think, 02.06.03 is the latest). It works a dream...

Andy, it was a tough choice, they are both excellent cameras. The deciding factor was the size, the Olly was just too small in my troll sized hands. However, I am not disappointed with the X-T1, I cannot believe the clarity and quality of image this thing produces. I am still getting to grips...

I have nothing that will fit and the images already posted are awesome, i am so out of this league, but just for fun, here we go.

Ok, a good option be we are getting bigger, how about the FUJINON XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS lens? I dont need a massive range, I still have the canon 100-400mm for that. I just want a good quality GP lens. the 55mm will give me I think the equivalent of 87mm which will be enough for the kind of...

Ok... those having seen my previous posts will spot I'm on a kit binge!! Now I'm looking at the Fuji 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 WR LM R OIS Fujinon Lens. Those with one of these, is it as good as the reports state? Is there a better alternative? and is it worth the money? I'm looking at this as a general...

Just a quick one... Has anyone got the Lensmate Fujifilm X-T1 Thumb Rest or alternative? what do you think and can you get it in the UK? I love the camera but apparently it gives a better position for the thumb and may provide a better grip for my monkey hands. I don't want to go down the...

It is on the list Ulfric, a good people lens is what I have heard.
