The B&H site says
International orders are generally subject to local import duties and taxes (VAT). B&H offers the convenience of handling these fees on your behalf for specific countries and for many items. If your order qualifies for this option, it will be presented to you during the checkout process.

so it will be added on at check out.

Also under International Pricing Disclaimer it says

The product price does not include customs, duties and/or taxes

The taxman always wins!

I think the pole works actually, the foreground pole shadow points to the base of the pole which leads the eye across the most colourful section. A quiky and unusual use of lines.

I googled them and found this, mostly positive.

I looked at their course as it's on offer for £99. I think experienced shooters would know most of it already.

I'm no expert but I believe there would be Customs Duty to pay as well. Might still be worth it though.

I have a Canon PIXMA iP7250 which gives very good results. It uses 3 colours and 2 blacks. Has wifi and prints on disks but doesn't scan or anything, it's just a printer. They can be found for around £50-£60. Like someone else said Canon inks are relatively expensive.

A fine set of images.

Hi Russ

I didn't think I had actually done much PP on these - but maybe I did more than I thought.

Below is the original un-processed straight out of camera version of the last image for you to compare. This was taken using a CPL and stacked ND grads

Carl

Yes, I prefer the look of his version, there's something about the contrast in the first which looks too extreme (to me anyway)

John I hope you don't mind, but I thought it might be more effective in B&W and while waiting for something to finish at work I did my own version.

Some here seem to have believed it.
