Chub S-Plus Max Bivvy

Chub-S-Plus-Max-BivvyIhave been wanting to buy a bivvy for a number of years but one thing always put me off. Price. I'm not a Carp angler in that I don't sit behind a battery of rods for 2-3 days at a time. Instead I go just for a day and tend to only put out one Carp rod on a bite alarm whilst I float fish, usually for Carp, Tench and Bream, therefore paying £300+ for a bivvy was never something I could justify or afford. The past few years though have seen the introduction of 'budget' bivvys with a number around the £100 mark. The sad reality though was that the majority of them simply weren't any good, either being complicated to erect, not very well made or durable, or being too small. Then Chub released their S-Plus Max Bivvy.

R-Strap RS-4

rstrapHow do you carry your camera? Perhaps you've not thought about it much or perhaps you've just never thought that there was any other choice other than to hang it around your neck or off your shoulder?

It's probably fair to say that most photographers haven't really given much thought to their choice of camera strap but I would think that it is also fair to say that a large percentage of photographers don't like the standard straps that come with all cameras and who can blame them, what's to like about them?

Stereo Photography

London In 3DI have always been interested in history not so much on a global, political, economic way as so often taught in schools, but on a social level i.e. what was it really like to live in certain time, what did the people look like, what did they do for a living, how did they get to their place of work, what did they eat etc? It is for this reason why I have also been collecting old Victorian and Edwardian photos because you can really get a sense and feel for a place from a photo arguably in more detail than you can get from just reading about it in a book. Through collecting these old photos I have also become very interested in stereo photography.

Order Prints

PhotoboxRegular visitors to my website will have noticed that I have not updated it or added any photos to my gallery for a few months. The truth is that I have had so little time recently to take any photos so much so that in the past 3 months I think I've only shot something like 10 frames! I'm hoping to be able to start shooting more very soon but in the mean time I have just set up the facilty to order prints of many of my photos in a range of sizes from Photobox.
