Test pitch of my new toy
Looking good, happy with it then?
I've bought and sold tons of gear over the years but the TS is one thing I'll be hanging onto for sure.
Your picture of the day...

It's a Mountain Laurel Designs Trailstar, It's just arrived this weekend so this pic was from it's maiden pitch in the back yard earlier today. I've wanted one for ages!
Absolutely love it! I think I'd read every review available but i'm still shocked by how much room there is inside it! It's so easy to pitch/take down too, I can see this becoming a firm favourite amongst my gear.
Porn!
Love it!
Me too! It just needs sealing then it's good to go, fingers crossed I'll be able to get out in it next week

I live in Renfrewshire in Scotland mate. Hope you're asking as you're planning on sending me a present and not because you're going to start stalking me lol

Thanks!
I've never tried the 50mm f/1.8 - it looked pretty flimsy when I had a look at it... so those were taken with the niftier 50mm f/1.4 lol
This picture was inspired by The Big Lebowski's picture at post 634 of the water droplets on a cobweb:

.
The background was originally plain anyway but I used GIMP to make it black and to highlight the droplets. I didn't make it Black and White so that there was a bit of colour (if you look hard enough) in the droplets.
The cobweb already had some droplets on it but I tried to maximixe these by spraying it with a 'misty sprayer thingy' that my wife uses when looking after planty stuff.
.
I'd like to try this again with a reddish colour in the drops (instead of green).
As always with any of my stuff (on this thread or any other) - any constructive comments welcome

Great stuff Gordon, sorry for the ignorance, but could you explain the basic benefits of a 50mm? Pictures sure do look lovely.

The DoF in the Umbellifers pic is spot on and the focus is crisp on the seeds. Lovely colours in all the pics

Using tapatalk to view forum so all the posting numbers are different
however I did look at the online tutorials for gimp but I've been using photoshop for years and it's taken me that long to get this far with it loo. Mind you I tend to use my smart phones for most of my photography nowadays...... Fits it my pocket and goes everywhere with me. Not been out for ages with my DSLR canon eos 20D to big and heavy to throw into a small pack lol plus I can't afford the lenses I want Orric
