The Redsnapper seems sturdy enough Doug, and has a handy QR plate included in the price. It easily supports my rather heavy Sigma 150-500. Build quality is absolutely fine.
However, I don't think I get on with mine. Possibly haven't the patience to learn correct technique. I haven't had any real problems at low shutter speeds because of either the Pentax SR or the Sigma OS which is why I haven't persevered

I like Practical Photoshop the video lessons are interesting, and then it just depends on the cover story when I browse the mag rack in ASDA. Most of the magazines seem to have the same content so usually I buy the cheapest. Enjoy the articles ads and like to compare prices with the 2nd hand stuff on the forum and stores like Ffordes

At least you didn't want to eat it. I believe in the USA there are Road Kill Restaurants that advertise "From your grill to ours"
If it gets the shot why not move the prop. You would tell a model "lean left a bit, push your hair up" so what is the difference

Perfectly natural photographs of an attractive young lady, I really like them, thanks for sharing.

I knew as soon as the finger went into my bottom I just had to change dentists
I know what you mean about the bit of wall. It has great curves too but it's getting into position to include it or excluding it, then out again without falling over kids can be a problem, little "tommy or tracy" don't like a tripod spike in the foot etc
Really need to get there early before the shot spoilers arrive
curved wall in need of a photographer yes I do know this is a rubbish photo

Well done on second place! This first is very nice - wouldn't change a thing. Lovely perspective. I do have some constructive C&C on the other two though - I wonder whether your other camera club members will have mentioned the same points?
Shot 2 - I find the colours over warm and saturated, and the tree house has a bit of a lean to it... is it optimally placed in the shot for the best composition?
Shot 3 - A nice idea but the section of wall on the right detracts from the composition for me - I think a shooting position slightly to your left, and avoiding including the wall, would have been better! I do like the diagonal of the fountains across the shot though, and the position of the clipped ball at the end of the hedge is ideal as the fountains 'lead' up to it.
Thanks for the good comments especially No1. Well done on second place! This first is very nice - wouldn't change a thing. Lovely perspective. I do have some constructive C&C on the other two though - I wonder whether your other camera club members will have mentioned the same points?

Shot 2 is definitely over cooked I forgot which image exactly I'd printed out and I will have to be more organised the club likes to hold on to the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd photos for display at other events so was just guessing which one it was. Will have to do a "search". I think the treehouse is buit out of plumb as a sort of "House that Jack built" or should that be "jerry" built.
Shot 3. Moving to the left is likely to get you wet as there are three forward facing arcing water jets that come on at random times, I found this out the hard way but at least I was facing away, crouched over my camera so didn't get to test the WR of it, had a tamron 10-24mm on at the time not WR
Looking forward to returning there next year, mid week, when the schools are open for some more mis-adventures
