    floating hide - uk

    The seat idea would just be piece of canvas on a rope, but I see the obvious problem of that. The design will be thoroughly 'sea trialed' with dummy weights in place of the camera/lens and possibly more buoyancy on the rear end. I do have quite a few local bodies of water to trial, test my...

    floating hide - uk

    my design is similar, a horshoe of polystyrene but i will also put a 'move out the way' seat on it that i can quickly get on for comfort and deeper water. I'll also also be using a wetsuit so no worries about carrying water about. what was the 'bouyancy stability' like, did it slosh water about...

    Advice on airbrush kit needed

    Had a look at the German one, seemed more expensive from dealers in the UK, the freezer compressor idea isn't an option as I don't know anyone to cobble it together (but an interesting option for some that do). Mary, found some Axminster compressors and they look ok - what model is yours - is...

    Nikon D7000

    You wont regret getting the D7K - after getting used to the more advanced, less forgiving focus system (compared to my old D90) - your images wont fail to please. Plus the D7K has some good pro fuctions as well, such as Mirror up, Quiet release mode, AF fine tune. Use mine with a 300mm 2.8 VR +...
