I popped into a chemist the other day for my sanity pills, and had a blast from the past, they were selling a CF 512mb for £14

I couldn't believe it, some mug will no doubt buy it though.

My dad bought himself a panasonic bridge camera from Je..sso..ps (I struggled to say that) and they recommended that he buy a 2gb card. When I asked my dad how much he paid, I almost fainted, £24!!! He almost fainted when I said that I could get him one for £3.99

Oh yes, I remember paying £50 for a 512mb CF card for my *ist D

What airport is it?

I used to work at Heathrow when I lived in West London and I worked for a naff security company, blimey they were awful. The good thing about it was that we could drive around airside and go on any BA plane that was on a stand. My favourite, of course, was Concorde. I've been on all of them and Air France's ones, unfortunately I never actually flew on them
I just wished that I could have taken a camera with me as I would have had a great opportunity to capture some fantastic images.
Loved it when we watched Concorde take off. It made the runway vibrate and the noise was incredible

At least I have those memories....

Edit: cor my spelling is really bad sometimes

I always holiday in this country as I love the coast and countryside. So basically everything goes with me (well apart from the studio stuff of course).
I just returned from a holiday in North Devon. My wife is hugely supportive of my work so she has no problems with the kit that I take.
This year I took my 5 lenses, my K10 & K20, flash (that I haven't used for such a long time), filters, tripod, monopod and not forgetting my laptop. It does seem that I am off on an expedition but my kit goes everywhere with me.

The cameras, lenses and filters are always in my Lowepro backpack and they go everywhere with me. Yes they weigh a lot but I always tend to use all lenses when going out.

I suppose that may be looked upon as quite crazy, but I have always done it as I like to be prepared for anything that I happen upon.


Paul

Yes well spotted, that's a great price for Lowepro

Far to small for me but a very good quality bag


Paul

Ooops, sorry I forgot to comment on the picture

Yes nice and sharp and well framed. You must have been on the runway to get that close

I do my RAW in either CS3 or CS4. I make the alterations then save it as a PSD, then pop the RAW and PSD into a seperate folder, doing it that way means that I always keep the RAW file unaltered.

Going back to the image, I would prefer more whites. The blacks are ok but in my opinion, not great. When I printed in the darkroom I always checked the whites against a blank sheet of white paper.
Maybe you like it the way you have done it, but, again personal choice, I would lighten the whites and maybe darken the blacks.

It's a station on the radio

A radio is a box with little people inside who produce whatever music you like

Paul

Radio 1 DJ, weekdays from 10am - 12.45pm, after Chris Moyles, and this is why they named the plane after her;

Blimey, I need to get out more


Paul

I use my kit almost every day and it gets cleaned every week.

I agree with Pete, I wouldn't dream of keeping any of my equipment in plastic bags
