    Cannon 500 & 550 D

    Agree with the comments above, my 500D is fantastic and is everything I need with a couple of kit lenses. It would be worth shopping around for a deal to what extras you can get thrown in.

    Night time shooting with floodlights?

    Here is a photo I took during the recent bridge deck construction:- It made it into a works photo competition for corporate literature backgrounds, but would appreciate any C+C you would have.

    Night time shooting with floodlights?

    Thanks for the advice folks, much appreciated. Looks like i will need to try and use the available light, but tey and keep the floodlight heads out of any shots, unless I want the flare.

    Cheap motorsport setup

    Windermere Air Show & Greystoke Stages Rally

    Jimmy, looks like that is very much a forest track in the grizedale forest? I looked at the OS Maps on multimap and it showed the tracks. I don't believe they are open to public vehicles, but you should be able to walk them...

    Windermere Air Show & Greystoke Stages Rally

    Was slightly dissappointed about the Sunday Rally though, as this was my main reason for heading up to the Lakes next weekend.

    Windermere Air Show & Greystoke Stages Rally

    Been meaning to go myself for a number of years, but never made it. Staying with my in laws near Troutbeck Bridge next weekend, so I have no excuses really. I am told that there is an official park area just to the south of the main promenade in Bowness and between Glebe Road. I think it is £5...
