  1. Depends on the scope of coverage you'd want, I'm sure you could google it to see what's available locally ? If you'd like someone to cover the whole of your time there then you might want to think about taking a photographer with you.
  2. Some really nice shots, there's quite a bit of repetition though.
  3. I broke three of my lenses using a Lowepro side access wotsit bag. For lugging everything around I have a Crumpler Zoomiverse XL - people say it makes me look like a snail.
  4. Sounds a fairly decent price and I wouldn't be concerned. Do a HPI check and get an AA inspection if you need peace of mind.
  5. Mumford & Sons - anything by. God bless him.
  6. What free? As that's what the OP is clearly wanting.
  7. An Ericsson T28 Mobile phone in 2000.
  8. Some of the polish lads on sites I visit wear lightweight cotton trousers (really lightweight t-shirt material) and a t-shirt alongside their high viz in warm weather.
  9. No they don't. "Road tax" doesn't exist, the tax disc you buy is an emissions tax based on the amount of crud your car chucks out, not to pay for the roads.
  10. It runs right under the Central station where the confluence of the River Sheaf and Porter Brook occurs, the underground river runs straight past Pond's Forge (where it is open air for a short period) and then onwards to an outfall at the Don near Castlegate. I've been down there a couple of times, it's a nice stroll if a bit rocky in parts (watch your ankles) I wore fishing waders but I bet in dry periods it's doable in wellies. *I am by no means condoning going down there... so Don't go when it is raining or forecast to do so, the only thing running through the tunnels is water and air flows freely through the tunnels so there's no danger of gases. Don't be an idiot and go in flip flops, be prepared for 100% darkness so take torches IF you do go. A photo taken a couple of years ago: Just before the route emerges at Pond's Forge.
  11. EF 50mm f/1.2L The Old. by jST., on Flickr
  12. Canon EF fit DSLRs can take the old type of lenses with a cheapo adapter, some of these adapters will allow you to still get the AF confirm indication from the DSLR body, which is useful.
  13. Did anything interesting happen in Sheffield today?
  14. Definitely Billingham, I've got two and they're both awesome. 550 for primary camera gear. 307 for flash gear and backups.
  15. What are you documenting? I do a lot of street stuff.
  16. Ian, likewise - I commute from Rodley to City Sq everyday via Rodley Lane, Leeds & Bradford Rd and then Kirkstall Rd... or the canal when it's nice out
  17. I had the 24-70 f/2.8L for a year or so, it was excellent generally, that's about the closest, or maybe the 24-105, also excellent. The build quality is also something to consider, it is far superior to standard EF / EF-S lenses.
  18. In a word, yes. When i got the 50mm f/1.2L after using the standard plastic 50mm f/1.8 I was blown away by the difference in image quality.
  19. When I lived in Sheffield and worked on Wilkinson St 10 years ago I came a cropper a couple of times on the West St tramlines in rain and once in snow... I used to wince every time I had to cross them in case of that telltale slip. Now in Leeds there's just angry cretins to deal with on Kirkstall rd, give me the tramlines any day of the week.
