    Coastal Oregon in August

    It may be true that August is rarely the best month for birding but it's what I've got! I will be in Oregon travelling north to south along the coast from Cannon Beach to Newport. I'm always keen to see and photograph shorebirds and seabirds . Am I right in thinking it would be a bit early for...

    Chemical warmers??

    I've been reading the thread on warm winter boots for standing around in! I bought a pair of Sorels late last winter but I haven't really had the opportunity to test them. They were mentioned by a well known pro wildlife photographer in Outdoor Photography magazine for use especially when...

    Fungi sites in/near London.

    I really enjoy photographing fungi but at the moment I am having difficulty in tracking much down. Had a wander around Wimbledon Common on Sunday and really didn't find anything. I am considering Box Hill which I remember from past occasions can be good. I don't drive (if I did, I'd try more to...

    Florida/Naples area in April/May?

    I'm enquiring for a couple of photo buddies of mine who have visited Florida three or four times but always in November. They are considering returning at a different time of year, maybe April\May but are a bit anxious about weather/light/heat/bugs/ drought (hell, everything!!!). We're from...

    Has anyone used this tripod?

    I've just been to a photo trade show and seen a Gitzo 3320bs tripod. This is a very small sturdy tripod without the central column and stands 35 cm high with 2 short leg sections but can go flat to the ground so should be great for low pov shots . Could also be used in hides with wide window...

    Velbon/Manfrotto Hybrid!

    I'd ideally like to use my Manfrotto heads on a Velbon cf tripod rather than on my Manfrotto 190.The Velbon comes with a detachable central column, protected legs and numbers on the bottom section of legs. The Velbon thread is 1/4 and the Manfrotto 3/8.I know I need a thread adapter but can't...

    Elements7 Tools not working

    I'm a bit non-plussed and wonder if anybody can help.I've had E7 for a few months and everything's been fine. I opened it up today and all the tools in the Raw Converter window and the Editor seem locked up. I'm stuck on the hand/move tool. I've tried reset tools and I've come out of Elements...

    Texas birding and Hurricane Ike.

    Just returned from a week in the High Island area. Well, the birds are definitely there! Fantastic warblers in good numbers. Boy Scout Woods and Smiths Oaks are still bringing 'em in. Sabine Woods was particularly good last week and we went there three or four times. Anuahac is quiet but Bolivar...

    Opening raw files in PE7- Help please

    I've just shot in RAW for the first time and am trying to process the files. I've downloaded the latest plug in which will cover my 50D and dled photos to external hard disc where I want them to be. They came up as individual files plus the sidekick xmp file which I thought odd because I...

    Tripod head for macro

    I've trawled the threads but still can't find an answer to my problem. I have a Manfrotto 190pro B tripod (not the carbon fibre one) and I'd like a head that would serve me well for macro work. At the moment I'm learning to photograph fungi. Ideally I'd like something fairly simple and light...

    Very happy to be here! I've lurked for months without registering and learnt a good deal about digiscoping from reading the posts. I'm a London birder.I'm particularly into American birds so try to cross the pond as much as possible. There are lots of them and they stay put !!! Which helps!
