Had to reply and say thanks Harlequin for the tips as I've been using LR2 for a bit and never thought to streamlilne my workflow like this. It's great timing also as I have just come back from Yoesemtie with lots of HDR shots to process in photomatix. I'll be making a new preset for that tonight...

Whats the budget you have to play with for equipment? What's the main thing you are in Kenya to do.. Safari or Climb? I went to Kenya & Uganda for 18 days total last year just to take pictures on Safari and pumped for the 100-400. It was on the 400D for 95% of the time on Safari. When it...

Tis a great bag for a day out around town but I found that for a trip away you need the support of two straps on a backpack. Lowepro do great bags and I upgraded to a AW mini trekker in the end.

Folks in here looking for pics should not be overly excited as "nurse" covers both male and female. Sounds like a great day out though ...lots of off camera, hot strobe action :p

You could try your luck at Canary Wharf? but it could ruin the day if you get hassled by rent a cops as it is a private estate. Then again as a fellow 10-22 Canon user i'd say head to Carnaby Street, Soho Sq, Wardour St, China Town, British Museum is fantastic as stated, then pop over to the...

Interesting link and a good idea, but come on... 18mins to explain how to cut a piece of card and then charge for it? That's just crazy. DIY for the win. :D

Yep, I have the redsnapper ball head and it fits in the bag attached. Another point is that you get the leg warmers included on the Redsnapper tripod but pay extra for them on most other brands.

I'm up for a bit of this. Have been keeping a Project 52 section on Flickr so having a bit more direction will be fantastic. Nathan

Or ....what i do is plug in the laptop to the LDC TV and edit my pictures from the lounge. I also plug in an external wifi keyboard with touchpad so the laptop sits next to the TV and I can relax on the lounge. :D

That will work, but you can only access it from one point at a time and then need to copy that catalog over prior to using the other access point. Lightroom won't support multiple accessing of the same image files. Will be fiddly, but I guess it's better than nothing.

I believe that Lightroom will not support a shared catalogue and multiple workstations. I had the exact same problem on a home network and reading up on the Adobe forums confirmed that there no work around. Fingers crossed that it's a subject to be addressed in future updates.

Great choice, both lens and choice of supplier. Look forward to seeing some shots.

Thanks for the replies guys, I am super excited right now. Didn't sleep much last night! Excellent tips on that thread Weetobix- cheers... I'm off to raid the linen closet and look for a spare pillow case to keep the sand/dust of my gear in the 4x4. Also be looking to grab a spot near...

Well it's nearly time,... after 8 months of no holidays i'm finally heading off on Safari this weekend for 2 weeks. Travelling to Kenya and Uganda with two game companies for a 4 day and 9 days safari respectively. Hopefully this is going to give me the a good range of landscapes and wildlife as...

They are fantastic shots. Do you use 2nd curtain flash or are you just directing the light up and away to get so much detail in the backgrounds? Love to do this,... what are you using as a lens as I also have a 400D and wondered if my 10-22mm would suit the bill ( pics don't support EXIF...
