yeah, Vauxhall Fruits..made to make yer mouth water :lol:

If you google CJ Wildbird food, they sell a good hide. I've got one of theirs.. it works a treat and keeps the rain out, is quite tall, so I sit in it with a little seat of my own, it has four zippable windows and pops up instantly and packs away within half a minute and is very light (like a...

Gaz, my favourites are bottom of deer leap, looking back towards exit of lodge.. great angle on the bikes and scenic backdrop as they emerge from the crest of the bank.. also, Druids corner is a nice shot for the bikes exiting with front wheel lifting.. Druids is a ten minute walk from Lodge...

Hi Cap2010 I took a Canon 40D with me on safari to the Kruger - it's sturdy, though perhaps not as smaller as the 350D etc, but better quality and faster frame rate. It's crop sensor has its advantages and I too have small hands (partly down to having Cystic Fibrosis), but cope well with the...

Is the improvement really noticeable by changing from 40D to 7D for wildlife and sports photography, to justify the change and hit on the credit card? I haven't made the move from the 40D.. I'm not convinced the differences justify me shelling out for the 7D, but am willing to be proved...

Straycat, Silverstone suffers from high fences, distance for non-accredited togs away from the track and for me, a generally soulless experience.. lots of concrete, stands rather than close trackside standing areas (like at Mallory Park, Oulton etc..).. In my view, Silverstone is more of a car...

I think I was not on the best side of the track for the Esses, Chris.. I take it you're meaning from the bridge and bank side on the outer side of the circuit.. I only got one 'decentish' shot from the inside of Harris, Camier and Easton (I think it was) curving out towards the Bomb Hole. I...

Guys, thanks for all your comments... very useful to know that it's not really worth lugging camera stuff to Thruxton.. Have seen it often on tele, but didn't occur to me that most of it's out of bounds to the public. From what you, Simon and others seem to say, Cadwell is the one I've got to...

Excited that the new BSB season is about to start, but think this time I might try some more circuits - usually it's Oulton Park, Mallory Park, Silverstone for me (as they're the nearest to home) - my fave is Oulton Park, but don't like Silverstone at all. Which circuits do you rate/not rate...

thank you guys, I'll have a go! :) Dom

I went to the Kruger (with my wife) last August for 12 days. It was a dedicated photographic safari, so loads of time in the field, no families, unnecessary disruption or noise, just 3 photographers + one non-tog (my wife). A dedicated photographic safari seems to be a far better idea, as...

I'm sure there's been a thread about this somewhere in the past, but I cannot open photos in PS Elements 5.0 which I took using my Canon 40D, yet have no problem opening the files from shots taken on my 5D (mark I). Any pointers on what's causing this and how I get around this and open these...
