I've really enjoyed using my skywatcher but had to get a good tripod for it, my manfrotto 055XPROB just wasn't up to the job at full extension so I got a Gitzo G1348 for it, much, much better. In a bit of photography funk at the mo but hoping to use it again this autumn/winter. Getting a 500D...

A quick follow up, the owner was hard to catch up with but finally caught up with him today. He loved the prints and said they sold very quickly and generated good interest. So we've struck up a deal and I now have another outlet for selling my prints. :D Thanks to everyone who replied.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I'm going to pop in tomorrow and have a chat, if they have sold a couple it's a potential outlet, win win for both parties :D

A few months ago I sold a friend of mine some prints which he put into a local framers for framing. He has since moved away and forgot to pick his prints up and now says he can't be bothered sorting them out (I think it's a cashflow problem as the frames he ordered were a good few £) A couple...

As soon as I get back from Ireland I'll sort those pics out!

I'll get pics of my setup up later on along with a couple more examples!

Has to be magic lantern, couldn't do without it!

I ordered from Amazon because they had stock and cheaper, whereas the formatt-hitech site didn't have stock, they have a pre order time of 1-2 weeks on what I bought. 1-2 months seems a bit of a wait!

My six stop came wrapped in red tissue, inside a plastic box sandwiched between two pieces of foam, the plastic box was snug inside the cardboard outer. No cloth or pouch was included, but the box and foam is great for lugging it about, similar to the box I bought for my 4x4 Cpl. I have to say...

I watched loose women once................................it wasn't what I thought it was going to be :(

Can't help with that I'm afraid as I got a square filter that was very well packaged! My gasket came today so hoping for some reasonable weather to try out the 6 stop!

Arrived this morning and all good, well apart from half the foam gasket missing but customer service at Formatt-Hitech have sent one out today!

I'll be finding out tomorrow, I would be pretty confident it'll be good, they're from formatt hitechs Amazon out let!

I snagged a 6 stop firecrest ND for £64.10 saving £67.16! Up to 10 stops are cheap, the 13 and 16 stop have no real saving. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Formatt-Hitech-Firecrest-Neutral-Density/dp/B00LMY52H4
