The word 'FREE" usually grabs my attention, Vic!

Yes please Vic! Let me know the postage. 2nd class will be fine!

Had to remove wild strawberries from a school landscape scheme I was working on; risk of 'anaphylactic shock' if the kids ate them, according to the head teacher. In the end we just clad the entire school yard with cotton wool, with some yellow signs saying 'Danger! Soft Surface!'

I wonder if this sort of thing would work?

Brilliant, my favourite is 'Strapping' - like the stripes worn by the performer and onlooker.

Having the beam of light strike the centre of the brolly seems to be an important aspect of the strobist set-up. Having a brolly set up on a separate stand seems to be the way to go. This begs the question- why doesn't somebody design a bracket that would overcome this problem-there could well be a gap in the market!

I know... you kind of want a flexible arm that clamps to the stand at one end, with an umbrella holder at the other - allowing you more flexibility in how you position the umbrella.

As I said, opinion is split... Strobist blog recommends shoot through as a simple and easy initial way to get started.

Wow, that's some zoom. They're well taken too - some competition for you, Shaun...!

Edge sharpness looks better at 18mm than the DA18-135mm. But this is not a lens for shooting landscapes @ f8 really. There are plenty of other lenses for that. This is for shooting low light and shallow DOF with a wide angle of view.

It does look like an excellent 'stack of (fast) primes'.
