I can't see @Velocio's pics. Is this funny?

No nor I. @Velocio ?

It is a little ironic indeed.

Have a few walking holidays coming up so would like a decent travel tripod, have been looking at the Mefoto range, and some of the vanguard. Any suggestions?

Sirui, Benro have both been good for me.

Thanks, will have a look

To elaborate a little, I have the tiny Sirui t-005bx that weighs under a kilo and folds down tiny but can carry a dslr and comes with an excellent ball head. For heavier gear I have a Benro FGP18A that seems happy with much bigger loads but is still nicely luggable. I can dig out specs if you like.

Thanks (and @Tenners) for the compliments. I have a Nikon D7000 and use PicMonkey to process my pics. That's about as far as I am comfortable with discussing technical matters.
It was Sunday morning in Camber so melancholy is about right.

More dullness.

second one - boom. so good.

i've not taken a photo for about 2 months.

That's a shame Greeno. Take another trip. Go away.

Yeah I need it. Just trying to sort out a couple of weeks cycling late October so hopefully that will do it

Same here...

Fixed it.

Tried to link to the private images from Google Photos... haven't really found a good solution to uploading 34MB jpegs and inline linking to them yet.

Man in the sea is fantastic, Will.

Will, those are all fantastic

Thanks.

Cake.

I used to do a lot of product shots for stuff I sold on eBay. very easy to set up for small things. I just had a large cardboard box, got a white mount board, curved to stick inside the box as the floor and back wall. cut the side walls out and put white paper over the holes. do the same with the roof of the box.

when shooting you can use 2 flashes shooting through the white paper but I found one flash pointing up at the roof and bouncing down on the subject was best/enough.

I can dig it out if you would like a set up shot.

got results like the one below. didn't need much post editing either.

That looks ideal, thanks

I used the Sirui again yesterday when trying to capture a sky burial action shot. It is such a sweet and handy little tripod and worth all the £80 or so I paid for it. And no, you can't have it!

A few from the wedding I attended this weekend.

From a holiday in Korea earlier this month.
