Hi, I have just been down the beach and got caught by a freak wave that covered me and my Nikon D800 and 24-70 f2.8 in saltwater and seaweed! My question is, apart from sponging it off with warm fresh water when I got home, what else could I do to help prevent permanent damage? I know both are...

Thanks Richard, cracking photos too!

I am planning a trip this September, has anyone experienced the weather around that time? Planning on hiring a Motorhome for a week...

Hi, I am looking to go to Iceland in September and hire a Motorhome for 5 days to tour around in. I would like to visit some of the famous waterfalls and scenery. Does anyone have any advice about this, especially if they have done it before? I have read that a Motorhome is best as it...

Thanks for the info guys, sounds like i will have no issues...

Hi, I am planning a trip to the US in a couple of months and taking my gear with me. This includes some Lee ProGlass 100mm Filters. Can anyone tell me if they have ever had an issue taking these in their hand luggage? I have heard of cases where things like the Rocket Blowers are confiscated...

Thanks guys, I will take a trip in the next couple of weeks if the weather is favourable...

Really like the LE and subtle tones of number one, I have not been down there for ages...need to get back soon

Great place, love the composition on the second one...

Thanks for the feedback, I only have a 24-70 lens that I use at the moment, hence the tight crop and the missing side of the mountain...I would love a 14-24, or a 16-35 but can't quite justify it at the moment!
