    If the tide was low the SS Carbon wreck would have been visible.

    Isle of Wight

    I live on the Island and the website Hadron has linked has nearly everything you need to know. It is a fantastic place for photography. Seascapes, landscapes and astrophotography if you get away from the towns at night.

    Used tripods

    If the weight is not a problem and its just the cold, I would just wrap one leg. Road bike handle bar tape is what I would use. Ian

    Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM fit D3000

    I have the 18-250 Sigma on a D3200 and it will autofocus, so yes, you have answered your own question. They are a good value lens and reasonably sharp.

    Petrol Hedge trimmer

    Beginner Tri pod

    Beginner Tripods for beginners

    When I was after a tripod I went into my local photography shop. They had a complete range of sizes. Apart from price, as already stated above, the height, stability and weight are what I went for. At the time I was looking at the Slik tripods, which were able to extend to eye level and still...

    Sigh...I hate cars...

    Look around for places that can fabricate exhausts. They will use your old one as a template. You should be able to replace the rusted sections in stainless steel cheaper than you think. I have done this on a few cars, even my daily drive Rover. All I replace these days are the rubber exhaust...

    Slik Pro 500DX

    So far it will be the alta pro 263ab 100. I still have a few more days before I have to decide. I do like the fact that they have a support service just in case.

    Quite like the look of the Vanguard, ball head so no handles to get in the way.
