Indeed. And we are now completely off topic hehe

I did say it was a 'cheap way' to get you long exposures. And I personally have a B+W 10-stop which I bought in Britain. It pays to support your local shops in the long run.

A cheap way to get a very long exposure during the day is to use welding glass, it's main drawback being that you'll only have a black and white image at the end (green and white to start then convert to b&w). It's approximately a 10-stop (1-stop equals doubling the exposure once, 10-stop means...

About half way down the page in this link is the information I think you need. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm That site is also excellent for finding out about all stuff photographic, all levels catered for.

I tried geared heads and found them a bit slow to set up as I reposition my tripod a lot, usually on uneven ground. You are right though, they are more accurate, just not my cup of tea :)

I have Manfrotto 055XPROB (heavy metal), a 732CY (carbon) tripods and a 468MGRC2 ball head (google each bit to see what's what). Both tripods are excellent, I bought a cheap tripod first time around, waste of time. For your kit I'd go for the 055XPROB with the ball head, solid bits of kit. If...

Noted in the diary. I used to live down the road, took my camera round the general area quite a bit. The rocky/sandy beach at the end of the estuary (on the left hand side) is fantastic for photography if anyone else is into it. Actually, there's many a mile of lovely beaches in the area and...

Thanks for your suggestions :)

My Leatherman Skeletool is great for work but it's not got the balls for proper cutting. I'm after a shop with a decent range of bushcraft knives that I can get my hands on before buying. I'm not to keen on buying a knife based on what it looks like in a photo, no matter how good the review...

Hi :) I live just up the road (on camp at Boscombe Down) and would be interested in meeting up for a small gathering. Work is a bit busy for a few weeks though, but I am flexible (most nights of the week ok with a little notice).

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Hi all Just getting into bushcraft stuff and whilst googling for information I kept repeatedly coming back to this site for the best information. Seems only fitting that I register :) Although I've been interested in bushcraft and camping for a while (and not really done much about it), I've...
