Spiders! that's a cracking shot! No light pollution apart from car headlights I guess?

I'm sure someone here with Photoshop, could make a pencil drawing (using the filters) with an image if you provided one. As for feeling downhearted... no need to be, especially after one throwaway comment like that.

I had a numpty accident going up Catbells in the Lakes last September with my 5D Mk II (with 24-105 and lens hood attached) attached to tripod. Had it slung over my shoulder, but knew I should've bagged it... clambering up a few rocks, off it slipped...bang, bounce, down it went over a few rocks...

Yes, you're right, I realise I could've been a bit more specific, but as the original poster had mentioned a 450D, then I felt the differences of EF v EF-S did not warrant a mention. As for the lens, I see the more expensive one has gone? Hope you managed to grab that one, CatZombie.

Don't suppose you can link the site can you. It's always useful to see further description/images of a lens. Personally, I'd say they'll both fit - A canon fit is a canon fit, unless it's a really old lens. Welcome, by the way :)

More easily done if shooting in RAW (then alter white balance, etc in your RAW converter of choice). I imagine a world of pain when trying to correct a colour cast in a jpg file.

Top tip: If you shoot RAW and you've accidentally used Tungsten it can always be remedied. If shooting JPG, I'm fairly certain you're in a world of pain trying to rectify it!

It's either the 17-40 or 24-105 on my 5D Mk II At a pinch I'd say I've taken most of my preferred shots in the 17-40.

How are you getting on with these? I'm very tempted as I get tired of messing around swapping filters. Some of these for my CPL and 10-stopper would be ideal.

This little puppy from Benro happily holds my 5D MkII with 24-105 (or 100 F2.8L) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Benro-A0685FBH00-Aluminium-Travel-Angel/dp/B00511OHUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349634069&sr=8-1

I've got a Western Digital My Book Studio II. Dual drive unit set up as mirrored drives for data protection. No frills and does just what I need it to. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=210

Yeah my iPad 2 is wifi only and the navigation voice option isn't there. iOS is device aware.

I don't have an issue with time as such for taking photos, but conversely do find it hard to sit in front of the computer at home to work/process (or even copy from camera) the pics I've taken. I work with computers/in front of a monitor all day, and the last thing I feel like doing when I get...
