It does look in superb condition - I don't know where Ian finds this gear. OK the 80-200 is nowhere near his normal standards...

With regards to the second one: Seeing the position of the sun, maybe some light could have been reflected into the bottom left hand corner of the shot. Makes me wonder where the path is! Off to the right? Maybe the path would be a good lead into the horizon... Good depth of field and the coastline leads the eye to the horizon - Still wonder about the path though...

I believe you can even get bottled water from some Whisky makers that way you don't contaminate the taste.

I hate it when I hear people say they "Texted" someone, When they mean they sent them a text.

I have some nice brown slippers and another pair in blue that are used for venturing outside to the garden or the garage!

Must admit I often add some dry ginger ale and a lump of ice - Refreshing yes - Scots approval, probably a resounding no...

This shouts at me to get rid of the fence - get closer and look over it and see the people and objects on the other side!

They surely look good and the construction look simple, that's what I like about them.
If something is wrong I can bring it to a wood worker or something like that and get it fixed those fancy carbon ones are nice but when they break there is no way to fix them.
I agree about the woodwork repairs. However, Carbon fibre takes a bit of breaking I should think. Especially the six layers as used in the production of the top end Gitzo.

Go and buy a Gitzo - you know you want to...

LBA - Nothing: I have a loft full of tripods...
Benbo - Manfrotto - Cullman and an assortment of unbranded ones. Pan and tilt heads, wind up centre columns etc.
All gathering dust with the advent of the trusty Gitzo...

Very classy tripods - definately Billingham companions! Good tripod weight to load ratio on many of the tripods shown - also some fancy prices!

Is this still pointless?
