I have the same lens (70-300 IS) and yes it does make a noise when the IS kicks in. It is normal as far as I'm aware.

Thanks for all the replies. After spending hours preparing the fruit I would have been sad to have lost all that lovely booze :) Pantalaimon can you recommend any good wine making books?

Ok I've messed up a little. I was rushing the last step of my pear wine as my son wanted my attention and ended up misreading teaspoon for tablespoon, it was a new type of yeast so I didn’t think that amount was odd, until I read it again! I’ve scooped some out but what’s the verdict? Am I...

Thats a good flask rebel

Having spent the last 10 years of our life together I’ve lost a kind friend. We have had some good trips and some bad trips but he has always managed to put a smile back on my face. I can remember the last dram we had together in Nepal on the hillside, sheltering from the rain in our tent but...

Thats a great pic Red, what camera setup are you using?

addo - Do you have any more info on the conservation project? I'm close to Sherwood forest but normally stay clear and visit the smaller woods around the area. This however looks really interesting.

Thanks for the replys. To clarify I’m NOT eating mushrooms when out, only looking. Which I why I asked the question as to if its ok to touch mushrooms when you don't know what they are? Some sites on the internet indicate that mushroom spores can be poisonous but none of the books (I guess...

Sorry for tagging on to this one, I didn’t want to create more mushroom threads than there already are. Anyone know what this one is. The sack on top ejected the spores when pressed. http://upload.pbase.com/image/87208973 Also I've not got a pic but apart from the puff ball are there...

I did sterelize everything before hand. Oh well I guess I'll have to open it up tonight and cross my fingers that all is ok. Match - The fermentation has slowed right down, almost stopped. Should I add more yeast or just drink the stuff before it has chance to get worse :D

Thanks for the replys all. I must see what I'm missing and listen to "HIM" :-)

Hi all, I'm nearly 3 weeks into fermentation and have noticed a thin white, hint of green line around the top of the wine, I've got a bad feeling about it, please tell me it'll be ok.

If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you pick as the best location to practise bushcraft.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the following text / symbols mean in my local woods. The first one I'm assuming is for the forestry commission. They have removed a section of the bark from a whole line of trees: http://www.pbase.com/masonnet/image/86828853 The second is a symbol of some...

Hi all, I can't decide between the Montt jacket and layer up for winter or to go straight for the Greenland Winter jacket? Has anyone any experience of either jacket? I'm not sure if the Greenland Winter will be a little to hot for the mild winters we seem to get. Cheers

Hi all, I have seen lots of different fruit trees on a old pit tip site which has been soiled over and planted with grass, conifers and fruit trees. My question is would these be safe to eat due to the usage of the old site, my gut feeling would say no but its so tempting with all that free...

I've been lurking around for a while so thought it time I said hello. I'm into anything that gets me outdoors and have been interested in bushcraft for a few years but other than lighting a few fires when I'm camping and cutting wood in my back yard I've not done much. I'm planning on...
