Working tomorrow and then covering a CaniX event on Sunday, should be interesting as my main subjects are usually horses or bikes.

I use a 32gb and 16gb Sandisk Extreme pro cf cards and shoot equestrian sports at times. all in raw and no problem at all with them.

A pair of Pocket Wizard plus 3 triggers.

I have just come back from Cornwall and there are two I know of, Goonhilly down on the Lizard, it is run by BT and does not look like it is open to the public anymore. A second is GCHQ just north of Bude in the north of the county on the coast.

Thanks for the link, looking forward to it already now that I have an idea where to go.

For park and ride try the A71 at Heriot Watt uni or along at the airport. You can drive down to Uphall station a couple of minutes from J3 and park at the railway station and get the train in, I have only ever had a one way ticket in to Edinburgh which was about £4. Plenty of places around...

Thanks guys, I have the sun calc app on my phone as well as one for tide times. I will be travelling over most of Cornwall when we are down so can easily head to the south coast as well.

Hi guys, I am off down to Cornwall on holiday for the last two weeks in September and staying just a few miles from Padstow. I have been doing a bit more landscapes lately and was looking for some local knowledge of locations to go to. I don't really do many seascapes and was thin...

I have the 70-200mm F/2.8 L II,I moved on from the Sigma version and noticed a difference in sharpness, AF speed and the Sigma used to 'hunt' every now and again for focus. Can't fault the Canon and have it on the camera half the time. I would say it is well worth the money.

Love going postal.

You can stack filters, but as Craft has said watch for a colour cast. The older Cokin filters used to give a magenta colour to the shot. If you are wanting to do seascapes, especially sunset/sunrises then look at a set of hard edge grad filters.

I found that if you were shooting in low light and had noise reduction set to high then it would have an effect on the fps. It used to shoot 4 or 5 frames then stop and then start again.

On my 5D mk3 I usually use the 24-105 for landscapes or sometimes the 16-35 for the wide end but find 24mm is as wide as I like to go most of the time. On my 7D I only ever use the Sigma 10-20 lens.

Would agree with Keety, an N.D grad will add definition to the clouds and try long exposures. Look around and see what else is there to photograph, I was at a talk last night hosted by Colin Prior and he tends to look into the landscape and chose subjects there. Whether he is at the coast and...
