D100 Fujifilm S5 (well it was a nikon really wasn't it) D200 D300 D300s D4 D3100 D750 D500 D810 and now none :-( as I decided to give up landscape photography and have sold all my Nikon DSLRs and Lenses.

I have always considered worrying about such things a waste of valuable (and in my case, seriously limited in quantity) imagination

My house contents have been insured with Hiscox for several years. I like their extensive cover and their terms and conditions (for example there are no specific security requirements, as they trust their customers to take sensible precautions). I also like their customer service - calls are...

Nice set Mark, Good luck with the trip this week. Hope it is cold enough :)

My pleasure Chris. As well as filters, take something to cover them / clean them with if you are going anywhere near a waterfall. There will potentially be lots of spray, which may freeze on the filter. A handy tip I read somewhere was to use a clear shower cap to cover the lens to keep it dry...

I just have the odd moment where my photographs DO come out the way I want them to....

Thanks Dan
