Not sure I follow the line of reasoning that using a mobile phone "reduces skill and communication"?

Seems like hand-wavey technophobia.

For the product links, most have been superceded by newer units. Searching for the generic term (e.g. flash trigger) returns the right kind of kit.
Any questions feel free to ask.

I'm going to get one of those amazon flashes and try it out

Interested but depends on dates and how settled the newborn will be

I am interested but would probably not need accomodation, my in-laws live in Thetford so I'd stay there and meet you all wherever you are.

Will confirm dates with my wife.

Also, if I do come, I can probably bring a very photogenic dog to add a little focal point interest in our landscape scenes

Yeah that felt like a very gimmicky way of getting free advertising. I bet he doesn't ONLY use his iphone

Or he's pro in the loosest sense of the word maybe

Damn, I knew the date sounded familiar. It's a friend's wedding

Hello - indeed Mike is correct that I'm intending to come back, from next week.

It's been very busy in more ways than one. Indeed, I'm happy to announce my wife & I are expecting again, due July... same exact date as my daughter's first birthday!

2017 not set to get any less busy.

I can;t find a reference to the Norfolk trip anywhere (although there were so many posts since my last login I couldn't browse them all!)

What's the plan for Norfolk? Given the in-laws live there it's an option for me as I can park the family at a friendly base camp

I will check tonight - interested. I know March is rammed busy though, so need to confirm the date.

On a recent trip to the USA someone actually asked if I wanted mashed "poh-tah-toe". They do things funny over there.

One podcaster I listen to calls it "Nye-con", and most people I know call it "Nick-on". Usually my pronunciation rhymes with "rap".
