Manchester 14 May
For the first time in just over two years, I managed to get out to Manchester for a few hours. I had not used my Canon RP for aviation photography before and found the shutter lag very disconcerting. Although the image quality was more than acceptable, I think that next time I will go back to using ...

Re: Manchester 30 November
Thanks everyone. I just hope we get a bit more sunlight and not too much mud over the next few months. Bella was fine once we got to the car - I will be taking her to the airport with me more often. She knows that a pond is near where I set up my tripod and in summer, disappears every now and then f...

Manchester 30 November
A belated post, it was a week ago that I popped out to Manchester Airport. I took my labrador Bella with me, as she enjoys an outing. It was a crisp morning, frosty but bright. Although mostly crunchy underfoot, there were still some areas of mud to be negotiated. Unfortunately, we could hear shotgu...

Re: Manchester September 2019
Thanks for the comments. I hope to get out again soon - may even try a trip out to Birmingham if the weather (light) looks promising to warrant the train journey.

It may have been hard work, but you have been really successful Mike. I do like the Great Dane.

Forget about the light - those are really great images. My favourite is the EasyJet.

James, a great set - I particularly like the Emirates A380 and the Jet 2 A330s.

Manchester September 2019
I managed three trips to Manchester this month. Appology for any repeating aircraft - I really should pop out a bit later in the day to catch something different. The first set are from 13 September. The day was partly cloud with the occasional outbreak of sun. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48...

Manchester August 2019
Having been tied up for nearly six months, I at last managed to get out to Manchester on both the 24th and 31st. On the 24th I was at the Mound. I mostly shot video but also took a few stills: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48658493572_19e3159106_k.jpg Thomas Cook A321 G TCDN by Paul Zietsman ,...

Andy, I am extremely jealous - I have never seen a red squirrel in real life, let alone photographed one. I especially like image 2.
