Taken at 7:11pm in my back yard. This is my neighbour's cat having a rest on the roof of our shed. 242/365 - Rooftop Cat by .:shk:., on Flickr

What a great idea. I've taken mine, I need to take one everyday anyway as part of my 365. Is there a different thread for submissions?

I've got 24-105mm and put a Kenko UV filter on it and would recommend it for those moment you can't predict.

I thought I was seeing things for a moment there! Better luck next time.

Wouldn't mind one of these myself, I think I'll leave the link open for the Mrs to see and hopefully she'll get the hint lol :-)

Which site have you used Allison, I'm looking for something similar?

Thanks Arkady, I feel reassured. I'll try to keep the gear in a room with no air conditioning to allow it to be in as close to ambient temperature as possible.

Cheers for the tips everyone. I am going to be in Qatar in few months and will come very handy. Anybody know where I can get some large zip lock bags to keep the gears in to acclimatise the gears?

I'll be moving to Qatar for two years in few months and the temperature regularly exceeds 40C. Where can one purchase these zip bags? I know the higher end Canon are more resilient to the elements but I only have a Canon 500D, the kid lens and the 24-105L. Would you have to put the body and all...

this is a noob question. What does pruning do in Lightroom?

Thanks DrRusty. Look forward to seeing the pics.

@DrRusty How much load do you think it will bear and also how many pockets are there on the shoulder padding and what can you fit in them? Thanks

Maybe.... I like the look of the Quick Strap as it has the pockets for memory cards and seems a bit more comfortable. Is there any padding for the shoulder on the S Strap, Mandy?
