Not going til August, so gives me plenty of time to play with it. Will take the 18-200 as a backup, and for closer stuff. Might even take a spare Nikon body if I can find the right one cheap enough.

It was done for the very first Scalford show Ben - hopefully someone will fill in the exact date I canāt remember.
There are some outstanding photographers among them - yourself included.
Thanks Allan, yes some excellent photographers in there. Saw Mark Littlejohn was posting again the other day, magical landscape photographer.
Mark is an amazing photographer as is Tillman Kleinhans.
There was another guy who took some of the best photographs of Glencoe Iāve ever seen but for the life of me I canāt remember his name. I lost touch with them all after my flickr account got trashed,
Not the very first - I missed that, but I was there when the photo book came out. There were large prints of at least some of them up in a sort of gallery too IIRC.

have you a monopod, beanbag or some other type of support?
i found it difficult to hold steady my canon with a 100-400 lens on. It gets worse if you use an 2x extender where you use some stops and light. Be cautious how you use it on some of the drives, where there is alot of tree cover as the light gets quite low

A decent zoom lens is a must. You will find many animals at distance and a zoom helps things. I know I have posted this before butā¦ā¦ā¦.
