If you think you get some odd looks from passer's by, then you need to try my rig and see the reactions

This is my new and improved version of the dual flash bracket.

If anyone wants any details on the materials used just let me know

What an odd looking critter Great shot
How big is it :
Still waiting for my 180

And another gold mine

I know what you mean, Camera gear is very expensive in this country I was very tempted to get it from prodigital2000 but after weighing it all up, exchange rate, taxes and duty, postage, warranty, and the fact i don't trust that seller swayed me to keep it in house.

$1900 is roughly what its going for in the UK
We can't compete with Canadian and US prices.

Another 2 weeks they tell me before the new shipment of Sigma 180s hit our shores.

A little annoyed with that considering i only brought the K20 because the guy offered me a deal for a Sigma 180 + K20 combo and the Sigma was in stock. But when i go to pick it up NO SIGMA.

I had to buy the DA*300 to sooth my LBA until the Sigma arrives
I had to pull out all stops with my haggling and bargaining skills to acquire the 300mm. You couldn't get it anywhere in Aust for less than AU$2150 most places were over $2200 but i ended up getting it for $1900.
Lying on the floor of the store holding my breath, crying, you name it i did it until the saleman relented and couldn't get me out of the door quick enough

I get as much joy out of bargianing for them as do using them

Are there any arabs about i have some sand for sale

At the moment baby sitting a bunch of grown men who do nothing but whinge all night.
Here's one example i got tonight.
Clarky my shoelace broke can you get me a new pair. Im serious
I deserve every penny i get putting up with them

I'm doing graveyard and the only one here. Its lonely at the top

I did go out and snap a few full moon shots though.

Im sitting at my desk snapping shots around the office

It sure is a thing of beauty

Well i took the plunge and got myself a DA*300mm. Picked it up this afternoon on my way to work.
Can't wait to give it a run.

I blame chirpy and Dan mostly for relieving my wallet of its hard earned

Excellent job of judging Martin, well done.
Congrats JR on your winning entry and the other medalists

I really liked Montecarlo's entry.
