Oh Excellent Trevor, just the job!

Darren you are a star and a huge thanks to Stewart too.

And to everyone else donating cash and/or bits and pieces, you are all utter stars :clap:

Anyone got an ETTL cable so wheels can do some OCF? :D
Anyone know Flash's pricing on one? :)

Flash in the pan is a most generous person!

I am currently speaking to him in relation to this project and he has already made a fantastic offer of a YN565 flash, diffuser and the stroboclamp. Unfortunately we need to mount the flash off camera anyway to reduce the weight of the camera & lens combination and with the flash on top Julian would have reduced visibilty in front of him so the SB600 wirelessly would be better and we have the funds for this. Graham is really wanting to get involved so we are just discussing what we can get instead and a TTL cable is on the list with other items of his trickery :lol:

Well don't worry - bad things come in threes - you've had your three bad, now for the first good, and if I were you, I'd start investing in lottery tickets - surely there must be another 2 good to come? ;) :lol:
 
Julian, do you have a memory card reader ?

Arr shucks :D

Yes the donations seem to have stopped for money but I have been pointing people towards specific items which is nice for them as they know exactly what they have bought and nice for you as we know they are off the list then.

I did wonder what was going on there and quite prepared to get the TTL cable for you but if that's already sorted I'm going to have to go and examine the contents of the loft to see if there is anything you have not covered already!! :love:

Nice one Flash :thumbs:

I am assuming that people are not donating cash and then purchasing stuff on top. Is that right?
 
Ouch, was that before my time? Don't remember that.
 
I know Ive very lucky Just Dave , very very very lucky
 
Right Graham Flash in the pan has, after some discussion, come up with a fantastic donation.

He is going to donate......

3.6m ttl cord
a set of triggers
a new-type umbrella adapter

This will make connecting the flash much easier and with the addition of the trigger will mean that Julian can take some pictures of the family with him in them !!

Shameless plug:

Anyone who hasn't had a look at Graham's "shop" it is located here >> LINK and there are some really useful items.
 
How about some sort of pull over rain cover for the chair to protect the equipment. Wouldn't want Julian to get caught out, plus it'll eliminate the weather as being an excuse for not togging ;)

Googling what's available nw :)
 
I feel awful for what happened to that member losing all her equipment

Another wonderful gesture; well done and thank you Graham!
 
Susane I might buy a special t shirt and put that on there.
 
Right looking at what we have got from other people and the other items I have asked Stuart to quote for a tripod too. That way he could mount the camera on the tripod and use his wireless triggers to take family pictures. There should still be plenty of money left over for days out too.

I am just in negotiations with Graham for my starter lighting kit, I will always give contributors to this project a go when looking for new kit, apart from that he has been very helpful with my numpty newbie questions...
