    Munich Germany

    The surfers on the Isar near to the Englischer Garten is usually good, also somewhere in the Viktualienmarkt, big food market, could probably get some nice candid pics in there. I'd recommend getting a Bavaria ticket and taking the train to Garmisch Partenkirchen, ski resort & can go up...

    Taking Tripod in Hand Luggage

    Taking my 60D, 70-200 & 15-85. I could buy one out there to be honest, the RS was only £90 so not a huge expense. Cheers all, may just leave it at home

    Taking Tripod in Hand Luggage

    I'm trying to take it in hand luggage, attached to the back of my Lowepro backpack. I'm going for a year on a working visa and it takes up too much room in my rucksack. I'm only allowed 1 item so camera backpack is it, I could not take it but i'd regret it

    Going to New York later this year

    Top of the Rock at sunset is amazing, great spot for pics although you have to scout a place early and be prepared to wait, quite a few people with monopods when I went up. Best part is you get the view of the ESB & new trade center, Chrysler Building is a bit obscured but can't be helped. The...

    70-200 Lens

    I found Digital Rev to be cheapest for my 70-200 f4L, a god £30-50 cheaper than most, came within 5 days as well. Other place was MBP photographic for a decent used lens, try finding one in Mint- condition

    Lens to go with 60D?

    Decided to buy the 60D with 15-85 & 70-200 f4 from Digital Rev for £1348. I have got the cash to get the 17-55 but not sure I actually need to spend the extra at the moment

    Aldi camera bags

    Get what you pay for, it's £9.99 from Aldi. Maybe it was just a dodgy batch but i'd hardly expect it to last for years

    Camera Bag - Recommendations

    Just seen the Flipside 200, looks good enough for what I want and around the right price. Tamrac didnt seem to have any with tripod holders

    Camera Bag - Recommendations

    Morning, Need a bit of help in figuring out what Camera Bag would be best suited for me. Imminently due an upgrade to a 60D with 70-200 & 15-85 plus tripod. My current Lowepro 160 AW won't hold these so need something a bit bigger. What do people use at the moment, looking at the...
