Yes she has been down at Brize but her home base is Bruntingthorpe.

I must admit I do have a VERY BIG soft spot for the Speed Trip and if I ever got a bike it would be that one!

Here's a couple of other Triumph Shots -

That shot is incredible!

Congrats on the win!!!!!

That would certainly be a a cheap way of doing it to.

This was just an idea for carrying it in, in between rain showers with rapid easy access and not have to fanny about getting it in and out of camera bags or rucksacks!!

But you can get rain sleeves for that.... Look here - I am gonna get one of these for when I am down at Donnington!

NOTE: I really need to proof read things... I spend more time correcting spelling mistakes than writing the post!

Don't know if anyone would be interested but...

I recently got a Sigma DC 150-500mm zoom and was wondering how to keep it dry when out shooting in between showers. The idea I came up with was to use a folding dry bag. This is a fully water proofed bag where you fold the top down and then use clips to form a circle and this seals the top! Climbers, cavers and kayakers will know what I mean...

It's easy to carry round and also very easy to get a camera with a big lens on, in and out!

Here's some pictures to give you and idea:








I just found it a pain in the rear to use a rucksack (I have a lumber bag) or bag with a big lens to get in and out. So I had a think and thought I would try this...

The other bonus is that the bag I got to fit was only £7.10!!!

Note: This is only for sheltering it from downpours as it is not padded!

Manual/Auto...

To be honest I am not that bothered! I use manual most of the time in any case because I generally use a lot of pre-focusing.

So maybe going for a manual one I could get something good for not a lot?

Can't afford that one I've just bought the 150-500mm last week!!!

Photoshop is a great bit of kit! I have been using it for years...

I have always said that the best things for using it are your eyes! Just fire it up and have a play!

I think I would be more inclined to go for a straight lense rather than use tubes etc... I have never played with them and would like to drop myself into shallow end first and get some experience under my belt.

I have gone for bringing out the colour of animals and tried not to wash the background out!
