Morning Julian.

Don't worry about the post please. (I know its easier said than done). There's always one kn** head on every forum who is spiteful and nasty.:razz:

Chin up. I can't wait to hear what camera and equipment you get.:)

TP'ers You Rock!!

Julian, Just think how many people on here that you are going to make extremely happy by excepting this help in the spirit that it is given, how often do you get the chance in life to make hundreds of people happy.

Likewise its not very often that all of us get the the chance
to make one persons life more happy for so little effort.

Make it happen mate (y)

Just logged in fantastic thread guys. My small contribution on the way.

Wheels - time to think of mods to your wheelchair to make photography easier for you. Manfrotto magic arm clamped to the wheelchair, DSLR with liveview, possibly linked to an external 7-8" monitor via the hdmi, hire David Bailey to take the shots for you :D
 
wheels as someone has said before everyone deserves a break, don't feel iffy about accepting anything

if anything it helps everyone else feel like they're part of something bigger than them and with a good purpose

If I could manage a box brownie I would do with that ;)
 
I will try and forget no doubt classcams will be spouting off elsewhere about me.
 
PM Sent rob - good job (y)

Also - just seen your blogger post Julian - remove that heresy now please :)

This is an excellent cause, supported by the many, many wonnnderful people here at TP (sorry, bit of a Commandant Lassard moment...) and there's no reason to let one idiot spoil the good will and generosity of the many :)

As D5k does not accept CF cards. Ive sent some money via PP

My carers are due anytime if anyone wants to keep me updated this morning via text my number is xxxxxxxxx. I cant thank you enough.

**STAFF EDIT** It's not a good idea to put a contact number directly in thread so I have removed it.
 
Julian.

I was in a similar situation to you a few years back. I mentioned on a bikers forum how disgusted i was that i had to pay for a hoist to lift my disabled daughter and that i thought it should be a home adaptation funded by the NHS.

Within minutes people were saying they would donate £'s to the cause. At first i refused as like you i felt a little embarrassed. It was only when i got a few PM's saying stop being an idiot, these people WANT to help you. They are your friends, that i realised they were right. So i gratefully received their donations and it made mine and my daughters life a lot easier.

Over the last 24hrs you have made a lot of friends. Me included. Good luck to you mate and i am really looking forward to seeing your first pics.(y)
 
Ive just logged in and seen the latest total. Fantastic uplifting response from everyone. I'm so happy to have been a part of it. It restores my faith in the human condition.

Ive also picked up that some idiot has been trying to put a spoiler on things but I wont even go there and give it any credance. Best ignored by everyone.

I just love what we have been able to do. Fantastic job guys.

Enjoy it Wheels... and lets see some pics PDQ (y)
 
It dont matter what CLASSCAM said, his karma will catch up with him sooner or later. Its the sharing and caring members of the forum that matter.

Life has delt some bad cards to you of later Julian and its about time we as a extended family helped out. If like me, going out and taking picture is relaxing, it destresses me from the weeks work and that has to be good for you and anything that will help with your recovery is worth it.

Maybe we could also if any extra cash left, get all the the equipment insured by a camera equipment insurance company so god forbid anything happens again they will repace everthing and it will not have an impact on Julian house hold insurance and raise the renewal quote

Good luck for the future Julian will keep an eye out on the forum for your photo's and will keep watch your progress on youtube.

I also suggested to Si at the start of all this to make sure to get some Camera Armour too. :)

For the cost, easily well worth it. :)
 
Good suggestion John - not sure if you could get one to cover the planned 18-200 lens on it?

Anyone seen any alternatives?

Thats a good idea aswell, Merc would agree with that idea aswell as before he got his D700 his D90 hit the rocks at Portland Bill and the Armour might have prevented the damge to the button at the rear of the camera

He did that on purpose to buy the D700 :LOL:
 
Rob - PP sorted from me.
Wheels - when the 'flash mob' arrive,dont forget to have that famous Wigan confectionary in............... Uncle Joes Mint Balls !!!!!! :LOL:

All the best

Dave
 
I thought Yvonne was known as The Body!!Someone called Elle McPherson apparently is also known as that!!!
 
Just wanted to say I've been looking at the photos on Wheels' blogspot and how he ever considered walking away from photography I don't know. I'm so glad I'm not drinking tonight I contributed to this, even if its only a little.

:LOL:

Nick.
 
Paypal sent.

Looking forward to seeing the pics once you have your new camera.

Can't wait to see what get purchased with the TP money.
 
I didn't see the post by Classcams but the other 500 or so posts over 2 threads make me think whatever he said isn't that important.

I am thrilled to have been a part of this and I am looking forward to seeing the results from Wheels when he gets the new kit.
 
just spotted this thread glad to help(y) can't wait to see some shots.
 
Wow, £1400 at 2am......

This is getting VERY close to D300s, 18-200, flash, arm and bracket territory. A nice pro spec camera like that might be a bit more robust too. I had a D200 & 18-200 before getting the D700. Fantastic combination, still have live view but only loss will be the fold out screen. How important was that ?

Does the D300s have a battery grip free at the moment? If it does and the grip would be no use to Wheels then it could be auctioned off to add to the fund.
 
Oh and the camera armour might actually make it more difficult for Wheels to actually use it. I think the upgrade to D300s might be more appropriate with its metal body.

Wheel,

How strong are your hands, just thinking about the weight side too.

I thought wheels needed the flip out screen to be able to take live view because of the problems with his hands?

Not realy, the thing about the D5000 is the flip LCD screen in the back so Julian can get a good viewing angle, a D90 has alreadt been mooted and discounted for ame reason.

ON the otherhand, using ay spare to cover some insurance and some camera armour is a bloody brilliant idea. :clap:
 
Live view also means that he doesn't have to use the viewfinder so he can take shots from more angles :)

Spot on.

Julian, turn this the other way round. If you saw somebody that needed a little bit of help I'm sure you would want to give it. Give us the chance to help you, please.

Although, with the way this is going a zigview s2 may help with any camera that does not have a flip out LCD screen.
