I'm fascinated by Pripyat so will download as soon as I'm in front of the wifes iPad... Thanks!

Brilliant, although my chest hurts a bit from laughing...

A red elastic band would be even quicker, and easier to remove when the "novelty" wore off...

Near where I live there is a raised bank dividing 2 pavements, and a bus stop. Once our dog decided he would climb the bank and turn to give a bus load the best possible view of what he was doing, which was a little embarrassing...

I used to work at a local rag and although sexy is debatable, I can tell you there will no problem getting them to look moody, most had an axe to grind about something...

A local machine shop should be able to knock up one of those in a lunch hour, not a difficult job. If you could source the raw material beforehand it might make their job easier. Anywhere with a metal working lathe.

I used the Cokin Z pro on my 40D and found it very good, especially as I could reverse the holder when I used my 10-20. As has been said, surely the results are what matters?

I've done nights for the last 11 years and I can't cope with the odd day shift now... I always stay up as late as possible the night before, and stay in bed as long as possible. I feel rotten if I sleep during the day so I view it as a 24 hour window, if I'm driving and expect to be home at 8...

Nice guide, added to the list of things to try!

Great thread, something to keep me busy reading during my night shift. In the meantime, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced remote shutter release. I'd prefer wireless over IR and cabled and have seen the Yongnuo RF-603. Are they any good? Cheers

I have the same one and have used it with a gripped Canon 40D with 100-400L and it was solid as a rock. I chose it on the advice that extending the column introduces a source of shake, and this tripod is tall enough for me to use without doing that (actually it's a bit taller than I can use so...

Last year I sold my 40D to help fund my wedding, and bought a second hand Powershot G10 to fill the void left. Didn't feel right, missed the immediacy of the DSLR shutter. Just jumped ship to Nikon and feel much happier having a DSLR back in my life (and grubby mitts).

Hi, I'm Simon from Cornwall. I've recently come back to owning a DLSR after about a year or so of being without (due to selling it to fund my wedding). I used to own a Canon 40D but I've just gone and bought a Nikon D90. It's all a bit different so I may end up posting silly questions, please...
