Hi David, Thanks for your feedback.
Have you used their X4 CPL filter?
That is on my wish list along with their 10 stop.

I decided to upgrade to a filter system that is well made and good quality, with no color cast. So, after a lot of research into the best filters for me, I decided that Breakthrough photography products are what I wanted.

I ordered their 77mm X4 6 stop ND filter from Amazon.
This order was supposed to arrive Tuesday between 7am & 11am, I received an email reporting it was delayed and would arrive by 3pm. It never arrived!

After a lot of communications over 4 day’s with Amazon customer service about the delayed delivery. I found out it was lost in their warehouse and that a replacement would be expedited to me overnight and a credit of $20.00 put into my Amazon account. Which, I thought that was a nice gesture by them.

Hurray! the filter did arrive as promised. However, when I inspected the package, the box was for an X2 filter with an Amazon warehouse label stating it was an X4.
So Amazon had sent me a $99.00 filter and charged me $180.00.

I became aware that this filter was no longer available and was on back order on their site, this had me worried about my order.

By now I had totally lost faith in the Amazon customer support, so I called Breakthrough Photography for their help.
Their customer service agent Chloe called me and when I explained what had happened, she reported that Amazon are known for miss labeling products.
But not to worry as they would send me the correct filter with a pre-paid return shipping envelope to return the wrong filter to them.

As promised the X4 arrived within a few day’s.

I am so glad I reached out to Breakthrough Photography for their help. I never expected them to replace the filter, their customer service has won me over 100%.
I will be buying directly from Breakthrough Photography in the future.

To end, this is to thank Graham Clark and Chloe for their excellent customer service.
And yes I will be buying more filters from them as soon as they are in stock.

I kind of like it.
Have you tried to crop it to focus on the Spanish moss more?
It may help.

I have just read a fascinating story in the Daily Mail from the UK about Dubai using drones to make it rain.
I don't want to attach the link as this topic will be moved to links and resources by admin, if you want the link please pm me.

If you are interested look up,

I notice in double download that they all seem to be coca cola cans, thats a lot of Jack Daniels to go with them!

This is when I get a fit of deafness;)

That is a stunning picture, just stunning. Well worth sitting there patiently waiting for the right time.

That site is good for birding sites, I also use this site to decide where are the best places to visit in my area.
It is updated regularly by birders.

Just zoom in to refine your search.

Loved it, thanks for sharing.

Personally I prefer Optech straps, as their system does not use the tripod mount.
https://www.optechusa.com/

I feel it puts too much strain on one point, the Optech system can be configured for multiple mounting points using their system connectors fastened to the camera strap mounts.
I haven't tried any of the other straps mentioned, everyone has their own favorites.

I have for sale a Canon T1i with Canon EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit Lens, and a Tamron 28- 200 f3.8-5.6 XR IF Lens. The bundle also includes a Tamrac 5606 System 6 camera bag.
The camera and lenses were purchased in 2012, all are in excellent condition, the camera was purchased refurbished.
This was my starter camera and has only been used occasionally, hence the low shutter count of 4171.

The camera has had screen protectors fitted from new and is fitted with a Neewer Battery Grip including, two LP-E6N batteries & battery charger, one is a genuine Canon battery the second is a Duracell battery.
Included is a 8GB card and Photive RC-6 Wireless Shutter Release.

It comes with manual, disks, strap and cables.

I prefer to sell together.

I will provide shipping to CONUS.

Cost is $360.00 or VBO

Nice shots, lovely colors.
