I use Loxley for 90% of my stuff, quality is great and very easy to deal with, certainly not the cheapest, but hard to beat on quality.

Thanks Andy, it went quite well, will post a few of them up on Flickr later. Dave

Thanks for sharing them mate, I prefer the second set personally, 6, 9 and 10 would be my picks. I'm shooting Basketball for the first time this weekend, at the new Emirates Arena in Glasgow, got any tips for me :) Dave

Evening, Got an issue with one of my speedlites at today's wedding. The camera got knocked over, it only fell a few inches, but the Speedlite broke in the hotshoe, it fixes back in and it does fire, but it appears to be out of sync. Does anyone know if this a fatal error or is it fixable...

Thanks folks, I will check out the Think Tank ones and the official Canon ones, spent too much time last season worrying about the gear getting too wet, I'd rather pay a bit extra and get proper protection. Dave

I've seen better!

Thanks very much everyone, had a bit more joy, small image from Motherwell v Celtic game on front page of last Monday's Times and another good sized pic from Dunfermline v Aberdeen in yesterdays Sunday Times! Just a pity the season is coming to an end, still, 3 more games to go this season! Dave

Thanks very much everyone, I shoot for Universal News and Sport. Dave

Started shooting for an agency at the start of this year, had the odd photo used, only just found out today that I made the front page of The Sunday Times Sports Section on the 1st April! Pretty chuffed with it! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I shot the same two teams at the semi final stage last year in Bo'ness! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigdavetaylor/sets/72157626437104997/with/5647080999/

Cheers for that Mark, Vodafone will be getting ditched!
