Again, these are wonderful. Particularly like #2 - strong composition and the wash makes the image

Great little masterclass for those of us who've never tried anything like this.

Me too... what a fantastic opportunity. Look forward to seeing the shots

Fantastic seascapes.

#3 for me. Love the lead in lines of the wash, and the way you've caught the sun behind he end of the pier.

Great location

Welcome Francisco

There are some great legacy primes out there. Hope you get sorted out with one soonl

I have the smc version. I love it.

Maybe you should try before you buy Iain ?

Great set. Fourth one the standout for me as well

+1

Great imagination to produce these!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, really helpful.

I take the point that a single bag for all purposes is probably an impossibility ( hence the self proclaimed bag hoarders on the forum :wink. I might need something more substantial later, but for now my priority is something that can fit photo and hiking kit for day hikes AND can be taken as hand luggage on a plane etc. I'm going to try to look at bags in 'the flesh' if I can find nearby stockists. Currys Ashton shows up as the nearest stockist for Kata, So I might drop in there over the weekend.

Quality set. All strong, but first and last give a really great sense of the racing

Wahay! One of my favourite ever programmes. Many people don't realise it's actually a documentary, mistaking it for some sort of comedy.

It was shot all around Hadfield and here (and some other locations as well, the Shop is above Marsden. Hilary Briss's is loosely based on Mettrick's - the very successful (!)local butcher round here - and the bits of Bab's you see were really a (rather dodgy) local taxi driver.
