Yep, but then i might miss that big pay day when someone tells me i've inherited millions!! :banana:

I disagree. It's not just the VAT element, they are well over 20% cheaper than the retail price of some proper uk distributors. The bigger stores have larger overheads, more staff and certainly have to make larger margins. The grey import market guys are normally smaller outfits, smaller...

Some great shots there.

What is that all about?!! Sorry just doesn't do it for me!

I wouldn't. Leave it at home and enjoy the holiday for what it is. One of the nice things about being away is that you leave all your technology stuff behind, with the exception of a camera and ipod maybe. It's refreshing. Also gives you something to work on when you get back and to lookforward to.

That's awful.

Yeh, probably due to explore, it's happened to me a couple of times.

I quite liked this one taken back a few weeks ago when we had a dusting of snow in the Peak District. Probably the simplicity that does it for me.

When I start editing photos, I literally feel like i'm entering a timewarp. It just disappears!! Longest would certainly be around 4hrs.

Luckily I have a mac, so sometimes open zip files and normally find they are .exe files for windows as you hardly get viruses for macs, in my experience anyway. Wouldn't dare risk doing that on a windows based computer.

If your willing to shop around you could pick up one of these for around the £75 mark: Part #: 732CY-A3RC1 Alternatively this is a very lightweight tripod: Manfrotto MKC3-P02 and much cheaper. I have both. If it was for just general stuff and nothing too serious, then I would go with the...

Interesting post, was looking at ordering a lens around the £500 mark from them. I guess when your going to save around £160 off the price compared to a well known UK distributor, it's unreasonable to expect the same level of service I think. ie. delivery times, maufacturer's warranty, as it's...

I upgraded my 5DMKII to a Canon 6D, never looked back. I was originally concerned with the lack of MP, but it's not noticeable at all. No contest at higher ISO's, it even came out better than the 5DMKIII. That said the trend is now definitely going towards cameras with higher MP and without AA...

It's definitely worth buying a calibrating tool such as a 'Spyder', with regards to the brightness, this is only important if you plan on printing your images as they won't come out the same luminance. I was once told to process in a dim room as on modern day laptops it darkens your display too...

I use Lightroom also, very versatile and there always improving elements of it as time goes on, in partuclar the lens profiles are updated, which is handy if you've bought a new one recently.
