I took four photos of the new Leofoto Ranger LS-223C Tripod and the K&F Concept BH-36L Tripod ball head which late this afternoon for you look at and considering both items were both manufacture in China, it does say something about the country produce high quantity item like the Leofoto tripod which I am enjoy going to use tomorrow.

Anyway was so impress with the tripod, yes got side track again and when on Mr Amazon website looking for larger model that would fit by budget, I found one at £189.00 Leofoto LS-225C Tripod with LH-25 Tripod Ball Head and also got Leofoto GC-282 AL 640 mm Tripod Arm with Precison wormdrive gear extension which was £103.95 which I think is going to be useful a bit kit in the coming months, I get to start playing with them on Saturday. Also got Leofoto AM-1 Magic Arm for £35.02 which looks like coming from the States and arriving sometime after 24th February.

If looking for high quantity tripods and be prepare to pay for them, I would going have look at Leofoto website to see what available and then search Mr Amazon website to what you afford.

Anyway I was late getting up due to being side track the night before and getting to bed at around 2am finish off a photo post. There was usual medical stuff to do first thing like changing the stomma bag which change every other day and redress the small chest wound, then double bag the medical waste before putting in the grey bin.

Also had do techical job cutting right size hole using template on another stomma bag which decide to do every time I change bag.

I watch a bit of the BBC channel while had some breakfast and answer some texts from folk asking how I am which is always nice to get when you trying keep human contact down to minimum and probably the next person I will see to have proper conversation will be sister on Monday when she takes me district nurses or maybe my brother who's post to be puting up solar power security light for me.

Anyway it was walk down to village shop to buy few things and yes its still strange having cover part of face when around other folk.

Once got back home the fun part of the day started with hour playing with the cameras in the garden, yes work out right combination with camera body and lens. I am using Pentax K-70 Body with Pentax 50mm macro lens and Pentax K-1 mark two body with the Irex len. I got another Pentax K-70 Body with manual Laowa 60mm F2.8 macro 2:1 lens on it which got charge the battery up on it. For general photography work I got a Panasonic Lumix bridge camera. Also got another camera body a Pentax K-111 which as been away main pentax dealers being repair again which going have chase up what happen to it but they  have reputation of being slow and last time it when repair it was warranty job but this time I had pay for me but cheaper than new camera body.

Once fun stuff of the photography was done, I did a bit light gardening on the photo studio that is my back garden before heading getting some lunch and remember to take some Loperamide capsules to keep out put coming out of stomma solid, I now have take more these capsules to do this as its one of side effect of the chemotherapy, the other thing I notice that have to put moisturising lotion on my hands and feet but otherwise that the only side effect I am getting.

After lunch, I put washing that dry away before finishing reading last week issue of the 'Week' and then started reading this issue. It was late afternoon and Mr Amazon arrive with my order which spent a bit time putting together before being side track.

So is it going to be another interest day you have wait until write next post later on today as just gone 2am again and got another 30 minutes techical stuff  of putting this webpage on the website before heading to bed.
