Popped into the big smoke today and took my 7D out for a spin.
Here's a few from the 130ish I took !

Cheers guys.
I understand them as a 'safety factor' sort of thing but I meant their official use.
I'll probably just leave it in the bag for a reason yet to be apparent :o
Properly retarded question ... UV Filters.
What's the point ?
Bought one for a couple of lenses years ago, still got one left [77mm if anyone wants to make me an offer].
I never ever use it. What is the point of them (serious question) on a day to day basis ?!
Read the stickies.
VERY IMPORTANT: Composition & rule of thirds. Once you've got these nailed, learn how to break them (the rules).
Don't shoot in full manual - a lot of people try to 'because they can' but in the end, they don't know what they're doing so it's utterly pointless. Shoot in...
Err.
Tow strap is awful, from a 'looks crap' perspective and from a 'actually using it to tow the car' perspective. They are dreadful things.

Beading is not really beading, oh and good work on taking it to the immigrants.

Most of those afters were also courtesy of moi also using your (Rob's) peasant spec camera :o
You're welcome... as always ;)
Not sure if I'm going to have to start adding borders to my pics now.... damn you !!!!!!!!
No where near as fabulous as my friend when we used to .. er .. cruise about in his Mk1 MX5 :o Did have 240hp mind.... Always be ready with a party trick ;)
PS.: couple of weekends ago I was driving it (the Zed) .. I insisted on having the roof down. It was not raining. It was however, minus...
Rob's bus needed new wheels. Well it didn't but I told him to get them anyway.
Friend of mine picked them up from somewhere north of The Gap (was a bit grim IIRC) and popped them to mine on Friday night.
