ruthless Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I wanted to give my 70-300 a chance to redeem itself today, so the first thing I did was try to take the cheap filter off it ... but it's stuck! I've tried rubber gloves, but it's not budging. It's neither hot nor cold here either, so I don't think warming it or cooling it will help. Before I order a filter wrench, does anyone have any other suggestions?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruthless Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Aw jeez, thanks everyone I went to Centennial Park pretty early this morning. Maybe not early enough as the light was kinda low and harsh. Maybe evening would be better as all the birds seemed to be sleeping! Next time I'd like to not have two boofheads in the back of the car screaming at me to hurry up and take them for a walk What's in Homebush? I'd love to go to a wildlife park and take pics of the kind of animals you don't see in Dublin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruthless Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Aw soz Roogs I meet *deelee there on Mondays for a dog walk, and last week I noticed how many photo ops I was missing. So, when she bailed on me today I decided to bring my camera and take some snaps before exercising the ferals. Didn't shoot for long. The stripiest one was complaining too loud!
