If you want to have a play.

I've actually previously posted a version of this to the gallery but after a comment by Greytop I thought I'd have a go at improving the overall contrast a bit. The only possible problem now is I think I may have over-saturated the greens in the foreground.

Any comments gratefully received, I will get a version of this image I'm happy with if it kills me!

Nice spot, even paying for Express Delivery they're still cheaper than pretty much everywhere else.

I have a medium World Explorer Shoulder Bag winging its way here (looked at the midi in a shop, it's not quite big enough for the camera with grip). I'll report back when it's arrived, looks like it should fit everything I need plus some space for other bits and pieces (lunch?).

Thanks for all the suggestions, they gave me a lot more of a clue as to where to start when looking at the masses of bags in various shops.

The one thing that surprised me was the range than Currys (of all places) had in stock, they were all rather on the expensive side but at least there was plenty to look at to aid in decision making.

Thanks for all the suggestions, it's all useful stuff.

At the moment I'm tempted by the National Geographic Earth Explorer (Medium), it looks like it's a useful size and it's not so obviously a camera bag as som of them.

Maybe another trip to Digital Depot is required tomorrow lunchtime to have another closer look...

I do have a small-ish Tamrac backpack already and getting stuff out of it annoys me most of the time, shoulder bags always seem to have everything much more "to hand"

John, I did find myself looking at the National Geographic bags at lunchtime and I have the same concern, the fastenings all seem a bit too fiddly. I may look again though, try opening and closing them a few times.

I'm looking for some suggestions from you folks in the know...

Until recently I've been managing quite happily with one of the smaller Lowepro shoulder bags for transporting my gear around. A number of recent purchases mean I can no longer get all the gear I want with me in the bag so I'm looking to get hold of something with a bit more space.

Basic requirements are:
Needs to fit a K10D with grip and DA16-45 fitted plus an extra lens, flash, spare battery, memory cards.
Ideally a shoulder bag rather than a back-pack
As compact as is possible while still fitting everything in.
I'm not too fussy about manufacturer but it's easier to justify if it's not too expensive.

Any ideas, suggestions of things to look at?

Apologies for staying OT but as a relative newcomer here I'd refrained from commenting on this before. I too had noticed that when I posted a classified ad that it was immediately met with a number of comments on how the item could be bought cheaper elsewhere which essentially put paid to me selling it to anyone on here whether or not they would otherwise have considered making an offer.

The item went on eBay for the price I listed on here so, barring fees to eBay it didn't make a huge difference to me but when it comes down to it an item's worth what someone will pay for it and if the price is way out there then it seems to me that the folks around here are a knowledgeable enough crowd to either just not buy overpriced items or to send a PM suggesting a price-drop or selling it elsewhere to folks who might not know better.

Anyway just my 2p worth, I'm not trying to start my time here by getting on the wrong side of anyone.

This is now sold.

Quite probably true, will most likely end up ebaying it but I like to think of eBay as a last resort (even if some things do seem to sell for more on there than in the shops recently).

Price-wise I've been working on the basis that used ones on Amazon start at £230, where had them new at such a low price? I must have missed that one

Just noticed I had slightly dyslexic fingers typing that message yesterday, price was supposed to be *£210*

Can't believe the number of times I proof-read that post without noticing I'd got one of the most important pieces of info wrong!
