    Photography, Not Without Its Dangers. :-o

    Glad your OK! I don't think the damage looks too bad to repair. I'd phone around a few body shops to get a quote on a fix. I reckon it could cost £300-500. Since your car has only done 63,500 miles - it'd be a shame to get it scrapped.

    Which camera bag?

    I'm tired of carrying my camera around my neck or leaving it my rucksack rattling around with other bits so I thought I would invest in a proper camera bag. I was thinking of going for the Lowepro Edge 250 AW but thought I would check here for any recommendations before buying. Ideally it would...

    Waterproof clothing for walking and shooting.

    If you're willing to spend a bit, I would highly recommend the Berghaus Gore-Tex PacLite jacket and over trousers. It's extremely breathable, completely waterproof and importantly (for me) it packs right down to a small ball which you can stick in a bag when you don't need it. My...

    'Amazon Prime'

    Tell me about it. I signed up to Which magazine trial for £1 to get a £15 of voucher from the website I ordered our TV from. I forgot to cancel it and ended up paying £20 in total. Hehe, the magazines were a good read though!

    'Amazon Prime'

    There still doing it. I'm currently on the student amazon prime which gives me 6 months free on shipping only (not the online streaming stuff). I just have to remember to cancel it in October.

    Ebola Virus

    Absolutely agree. Here's a recent news piece from Nature journal about the Ebola outbreak. It mentions that vaccinations for ebola exists since 2005, but it needs some proper funding for further testing. Original article

    How big can you go?

    I always feel that a canvas print needs some sort of frame to look tidy. Maybe I'm OCD about this. Nice photo though :-)

    PSU wattage?

    I have a PC with a similar spec to the OP (better GFX however) running of a Corsair CX430 for the last three years. I can safely say that it is an excellent choice of PSU. Quiet and reliable.
