Yep, one of the drawbacks of this cheap flight is that I won't see anyone! As well as the dicey connection...

 

Anyway, if miracles occur I may see some of you this evening at Dallas, if not I will see you Tuesday morning :D

Same here Gail. Can't believe how chilly it is here today. The month has been cold. Only 11'c today. I've known May to be so much hotter. Must be the El Niño effect lol

Does anyone have a recommendation for a remote shutter release compatible with a Canon 1000D?

Not really. They're not expensive so go with genuine Canon. The main question is wired or wireless. For tripod storm photography I use a wired release as the wireless one tend to need you to be in front "selfie" style

Thanks. I was thinking wired as it seems easy enough.

 

So did tour 4 fill up in the end? Less than 3 weeks to go  :D

 

Pretty sure it did. I can't wait!
