BTW: Sorry if you've been asked this before, but what camera/lens
combination were you using?

I am still using a Canon 10D with a 100-400 lens. This combination has
served me well for the past four years but the fact that I am usually
shooting in the dark (in the cloudy mountains) and the push-me pull-you zoom
on the Canon lens (that I defy anybody to get the hang of whilst panning)
means that I am shortly going to buy a 300mm f2.8. The 10D will also be
superceded by the 40D as soon as it arrives. You can always check my
camera/photo details by downloading a photo and right clicking on the file
and selecting propertie/advanced. - it even tells you the time that it was
taken (UK time that is).
