The EASYjoint one is a natural resin blah blah no residue wash it it with gallons of water the more the better, IMHO no where near as good as the romex dran we used on the footballers house, we jointed it with a finger trowel and still guy wasn't happy. £400 to but it right so lasttime I use easy joint got 8 tub pile in the muck pile now....

If Easypoint was more readile available up here I'd use it

Builders merchants had an open evening last year and an Easyjoint rep was doing a demonstration. He turned up with his arm in a sling and then spent about two hours pushing compound round a small area of paving with one arm. He left it in a right state and scarpered.

Wasn't the best advert for the stuff.

Head torches I'd say. They follow the contours of the ground.

yep all my work spent tues night sat out in the moors doing 2 minute long exposures then using 4 torches to light the subjects i wanted in the scene.

i'll stick the whole gallery up tomorrow, just got back from a gig in newcastle cracking night

pablos almost right. its an 2xaa LED maglite(blue ish light) and a 4d maglite im holding one in each hand but because its absolute darkness you cant see me unless i shine the torch on my self or silhoette myself by standing between the camera and the light.

pretty cool stuff, i had the 2 maglites plus a 2d maglite and a clulite 1 million candle power lamping torch, used that to light the ridge from about half a mile away.

heres one walking up towards stanage edge, its one of the biggest crags in the country and a mecca for sports climbers and boulders, there were loads of them out climbing in the dark with head torches or big dewalt battery work lights.

Image

being super brew cabin geeky bottom left of the light trails picture there is a very bright building lit up, thats the larfarge formerly blue circle cement plant that produces about 15% of uk cement....haha

same night up earlier on, HDR composite of 3 images taken on tripod under exposed, correctly explosed then over exposed giving a full range when merged together so you get the bright sun and can see the wall which would be in shadow in a normal pic without some fill flash.
