Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Well of course, a 'Womble' would choose this topic...

Just when the weather here turns to mud too... One of your waist-level view-finders would come in handy this week Kris

I don't think "Sea Level" would be allowed.

Before I went out to shoot an entry for this competition I had a look at the "Dig For Victory" poster here.

Is it my imagination but could this be a one-legged man, or perhaps he has his boots on the wrong feet .

I had forgotten about airbrushing, I had been thinking about a pair of scissors or a razor blade and it was making me cringe
